In the long term, it may end up being a sub par pick since there's very little inherent value in a RB's second contract (and in fact can be somewhat of a trap if you decide to sign them to what you think will be a good deal at the time. See: Joe Mixon). The discount we get for 5 years with Gibbs won't be comparable to discount we'd get for 5 years at CB, DE or DT.

With that said, it's just a tiny bit less valuable than a discounted TE contract, so if we're willing to take Mayer or Kincaid, we may as well take Gibbs, who I think will have a higher impact on our team during that rookie contract. TEs often take 2 to 3 years to break out, at which point that second contract starts looming. A RB, in theory, should be an impact player from day 1 if they were worth a first round pick. They just have a shorter shelf life and you probably shouldn't entertain a big 2nd contract with them.

I get what youre saying and I completely agree with it.  The salary cap and the way then NFL works these days has made me look at the team in a 4 year span.  I used to think about having a guy for 10 years, now the only guy that I truly consider a 10 year player is a franchise QB.

Give me the guy that can help this team win in the big games.  When we've come up short it's usually been for a couple of reasons - O line play and the inability to move the ball.  I don't think there's a tackle that would be a good fit at 28 - but I would be thrilled with Steve Avila or O'Cyrus Torrance.

Gibbs would definitely help this team beat the 2 high looks.  Hell, he very well could play slot if Boyd got hurt.  He's that good in the passing game,
