Nope. I'm waiting for Marcus Lattimore to be eligible. I'm sure we can scrape by with Hunter and Dixon until then.

This. Lattimore is the only running back I'd use a 1st round pick on.

By this time next year Tolzien (Our Savior) will be the starter.

I think Tolzien really could pass up Kaep. No joke. Kaep really looks more like a tall running back to me. He's so far away from being an NFL QB and comfortable in the pocket.

Are you crazy? Our secondary sucks for years and you wanna go for ANOTHER rb? We drafted Coffee, Dixon and Hunter in the last 3 drafts. AND you will always get nice rb-talent in day 2 if not even in day 3.
Only if our secondary improves b/c of Goldson and Spencer, our pass-rush rises b/c of "I dont know how, Aldon perhaps" and our O-Line starts to block well and CONSISTENTLY, we COULD think of a rb in the earlier rounds. Then again, some of our WRs has to step up so that we could say "We have our Nr. 1 Wide-out"; Next year's draft has too many WR talents to pass up, imo.
That is a passing league, on both sides of the ball.

As long as our o-line can't block anyone, even not a grandma in a wheelchair, another rb-draft is useless.

Using picks in the first three rounds on running backs is bad value. This is a passing league, it's time to value the forward pass over 2 yard runs.

What has an elite running back gotten any team lately? 49ers, Vikings, Titans, Jaguars, Rams... Nothing, they all have crappy offenses.

No. Keep drafting lineman until we get it right.

Not this or any year. RB is now one of the least important positions in the NFL, along with TE, MLB and FB. You know, all the positions we're good at.

QB, OL, CB, S, OLB, maybe even WR, then RB.
Trade the pick for Kory Sheets.

Hey, we got a good punter too

Nah, not this year. We have a hopeful candidate in Hunter if Gore can't pick it up. We have much more glaring needs that should be addressed first.

We are good at fullback?
