Drake portion starts about 1:45. Doesn't say much about Rosen, just that he seems like a cool guy and is putting in the work right now to be a part of the team. Drake shared some love for Flores and makes it clear he understands the "plan" for long term success the Fins are moving through right now. The GMFB crew gave Drake a lot of props and feel he is ready to break out into the upper echelon of backs in the league.
 
I doubt we'll keep drake if he breaks out. He'll cost too much and RBs aren't where you wanna spend money unless hes truly special. Drake doesn't classify as that

Gotta get that class locked up before the season.. Howard, Tunsil, Drake, and Grant all need to be here for a while.

I like KD (his pass pro, not so much), but you are correct. RB is a position that is replaceable, at low cost.

If he isn't looking for a huge payday, he can be a keeper.

I would never pay a running back a second contract. I don't care who he is. If I was Dallas I wouldn't pay Elliot , I wouldn't have paid Gurley, and I wouldn't have paid Le'veon Bell. Pittsburg's points per game average is exactly the same in games Bell has missed as in games he played in and everyone can agree that Bell is a great back. Running backs just don't significantly move the needle. There just isn't enough evidence analytically to justify paying big money to any running back. Just keep drafting them (just not in the first round) and always have a young guy waiting in the wings ready to take over when you let your starter go when his contract is up. That would be my philosophy on how to handle the running back position.
 
...let's do the extraordinary and sign him early to an affordable contract!
