As to the Brown discussion: Sure there were a few brilliant football minds such as yourself who wanted to roll w/ Chase Brown as our #1 this season, but there were some who wanted someone a little more proven.
The great thing going forward is the Brown has proven himself and we can turn our focus to other needs this offseason
High volume RB's take a beating. I think RB depth is needed. But we do have more pressing needs.
Heading into the offseason:
Starters:
Position, Incumbent, Solution
WR2: Higgins, Higgins
RG: Cappa, FA (get a good one)
DE2: Hubbard, Draft/FA (FA is thin)
DT1: Hill, Draft/FA
DT2: Rankins, Hill (BJ is Robin, not Batman)
LG: Volson/Ford, FA/draft
TE1: Sample, Draft/healthy All
CB3: Hilton, Hilton
Knowing us, we'll convince ourselves Hubbard & Cappa were playing hurt and will be fine next year. Rankins was sick and deserves another chance. Jenkins and Jackson are good to take over for BJ. And Sample & Cody Ford are starters.
OK, maybe not ALL of those, but I'd bet on at least three and probably four.
Possible starter upgrades, not urgent
WR3: Yoshi: Improvement/Burton, mid draft
LB2: Pratt, draft (I love Campbell Rd2 if there)
FS: Stone, Stone/draft (I love Watts Rd3)
CB1: we have a bunch of CB2s
SS: Battle, Battle improvement/draft
Probably a year early:
C: Karras
LT: OBJ
