I'm cool with a RB regardless of Evans panning out. I know our eyes are on Mixon's long term deal if we have to cut costs in a year or two but yeah let's consider the short term.
This isn't about any reservations to the current backups. They may have ELITE run blocking this year and you want to keep Burrow clean in the 17 regular season games. We should be running the ball at a higher margin to say the least and need another body this year.
We have other needs, but a mid round runner that falls to the 3rd-5th would be ideal since the draft looks lean with guys from like 4th to 12th on most draft rankings not having much separation. I know we want a threat to run and block with those last two plays etched in our brains, but give me a hard runner in case Mixon is hurt and we depend on the remaining guys getting high carries or making Burrow throw more than needed.
