With OL, edge rusher being high priorities, not sure where JL would go RB. If they go BPA, Sony Michel could get a serious look...he's that good.

Hyde is as good as gone. It will be Breida, Williams a 3rd or 4th rd draft pick and maybe a decent veteran FA pick-up. Breida is going to get every chance I believe in being our #1 back. I'm not sold on him but it could be a 1-2 or even 3 RB committee we could be going with. I still think if Joe Williams head is right, he can be a really good RB in this league and in this scheme.

I would not be surprised if they rolled the dice with Breida-Williams, and then either add a big back (Bo Scarborough) or a guy who is a good pass catcher (Ito Smith) later in the draft. Saving the earlier picks for CB, OL, LEO, and WR.

I can certainly see that.

Joe Williams is not a good one, atleast not yet. He's done nothing in the NFL outside of a few preseason runs.

Itd be foolish to go into the next season with Breida being the only known commodity.

Dont be surprised if we sign Morris/Gore and draft a rookie.

McNichols has a shot too. I wouldn't be mad with the all youth RB squad

This thread is beginning to sound like the year Derrick Loville was our running back.

Dude came on stronger as the season went on so no reason he can't continue to improve, looked as productive as Hyde by seasons end.

Watch him get some good attempts in rushing and receiving and getting over 1k scrimmage yards

Imagine we get a Shanahan treat and he rushes for 1k out of nowhere when nobody expected him to

yeah I'm not sure we bother with RB early in draft unless someone falls. Wasn't Breida the one with the elite SPARQ score in the draft? no reason he can't double his stats.

I really think he has a chance to get to Kareem Hunt territory. Now will he win the job, or majority of attempts..who knows. As we've all agreed at worst we have a solid number two.

Breida played in some garbage offenses in college. Thought Hunt was more polished coming out. Reid did a good job scheming early then teams caught on and he came back to life haha.

I like Breida and he certainly came on late and I expect good things from him moving forward but we'd be fools not to dip our feet in the RB talent waters of this class.

IMO if we have a chance at Ronald Jones we need to find a way to get him. Guy would be magic in this offense. But there are numerous RBs in this class I'd love to see us draft at some point.

Agree. Love Breida. But got to make these guys compete. Bringing in a 2nd round RB and a mid-level FA RB would be fantastic. Breida could dominate in his role.
