Duke Johnson- Cleveland Brown RB

The U just to be clear. Not the saucy Jordan appareled Michigan boys
He still has another year after this. He would be fantastic here, but we would have to trade for him

Yeah does Dorsey see him as a "real player"?
I think Crowell is also a FA this year! I'd target him over Johnson!

Crowell is a very mediocre back.

Who also doesn't fit KS' scheme at all.

Duke is a guy who I'd like later in FA, but not the type of player you'd go out and target in a trade, IMO.

Same career rushing YPC as Hyde (4.2) same career rushing TDs (21) whilst on an even s**ttier team than the 49ers have been. When you also take into account that he was an UDFA vs Hyde a 2nd round pick, he's done well. He's slightly younger and might come cheaper, if Hyde moves on.

Or just sign McKinnon who is more natural runner.
Duke is legit. Perfect back for this system. Coming out of Miami I think I had him in every mock draft.

Of course, but if you could get him for say a 2019 7th rounder, you wouldn't do it? Not to say he'd go that cheap, but you never know/

If Browns draft Barkley, he could very much be on the trading block for the right price
Kyle LOOOVES Duke. If he doesn't strike a LTD with Cleveland, Kyle would pounce immediately. He's elite at reading zone runs and is the perfect mismatch in the receiving game out of the backfield. And not to mention he weighs 220 lbs.

Please give me some Duke
This is the guy I wanted us to go after this offseason. Imagine Jet/Juice/Duke coming out of the backfield

Hard to go after a guy if he isn't a free agent.
