Forgotten Losses to Fill

Jones, Sanu, Smith, and Lamur might be our highest profile losses, but I think it's worth remember that we also lost James Wilder Jr. and Terrell Watson, both practice squad RBs.

We still have Gio Hill, Peerman, and Rex, but I thought both of those guys showed promise. They could have been useful in the event of injury. It's part of the price of having a deep roster, but I think it's safe to say that we'll be looking for replacements for them late in the draft and among the college free agents.

Tyler Ervin has been mentioned as someone who could possible compete for a job on the 53. Anyone else worth considering? Devon Johnson (Marshall U.)?

Ervin wouldn't fit the style that both Wilder and Watson brought, but would be welcomed. Devon Johnson would be a good replacement. I wouldn't be surprised if any RB for replacement came as a UDFA though. The only one I can see coming as a draft pick would be Ervin because of his versatility as a return specialist and potential slot weapon.
