We don't need a 3-down back. But, I'd say they both can do everything except short yardage situations. That's not really their forte.
Kyle is going to give his guys 10-15 carries. We don't necessarily need a workhorse to tote the ball 20+ times.
Kinnon adds speed and most importantly, he's a nice receiver. That'll help Jimmy and the offense especially on 3rd downs. It sure beats seeing Hyde catch the ball and get tackled before he could even turn up field.
For what it's worth, I think we'll draft a guy. McKinnon the only FA RB that caught my eye as a fit. If we add him, great! That's one less draft pick we can spend somewhere else.
Just like the Richburg signing. We saved a pick on a center too. Every player we sign as a real contributor is one less pick we have to expend during the draft. We gain the flexibility to take BPA over needs and/or the ability to trade up for better players.
