236 yards today as he dominated Texas A&M...doubt he will be there at the top of the 2nd round...but I wouldn't mind having a 6'3" 245 lbs RB...runs much harder and faster than Brandon Jacobs!

Not really a need, but a possibility if he's there at the top of the 2nd round (we won't pick him early in the first and I can't see us trading up for him given we don't need a RB). If we suck 2 years in a row, maybe we'll get Goff/Tunsil/Stanley/Bosa/Nkemidiche this year and Fournette next year. Rooting for the Ravens to come back.

i would venture to say rb is a need...hayne isn't an nfl rb yet, mike davis is young, and reggie bush is gone after this season...so that leaves us with hyde and 2 unproven commodities...and hyde has shown to be somewhat injury prone, so we definitely need quality depth...

Whilst I would agree that depth is needed, there are other more important needs than a 2nd or 3rd string rb. Pass rush, O line, ILB to name just three. 6-7th rounder or UDFA.

Woah dudes pretty fast and agile for being that big but I don't see him using his size and power

The way Hyde is goijg, I think we need to look at a 1a 1b running back...not necessarily a 2nd string back, but one that is capable of starting since he is so injury prone and currently have no threat behind him...

Very overrated in my book. Some dumb team will reach for him in the 2nd.
