The only success the Dolphins found last year was in the running game with the emergence of Jay Ajayi.

I know the team is set at the RB position with Jay Ajayi and Drake. But I think they need to add another big, young, energetic back with the potential to develop into a featured back that could spare Jay or even a replacement when he gets injured.

This years RB class has the top end talent and the depth to drastically change the landscape of a huge portion of NFL backfields. Whatever you like, this class has it. From top prospects like Fournette, Cook, and McCaffery to sneaky late round rookie draft guys like Brian Hill, Kareem Hunt, and Corey Clement – there is a wide spectrum of RB talent.

My favorite in this years draft is D’Onta Foreman, Texas: Foreman is a monster that defenses don’t want to face. He lead the nation in rushing yards behind a bad offensive line at Texas. He bulldozes his way through defenders with ease, always gaining extra yardage after contact. He is one of the strong, hard runner, with great speed. He has a change-of-direction ability to accelerate to top speed quickly.

McShay said "He ranks first in the FBS with 179.2 rushing yards per game. At 6-1 and 249 pounds, Foreman is a load to bring down, and he has really good feet for his size. Creating a ton of yards after contact each week, he doesn't get tackled in the backfield very often. And as a bonus, Foreman is excellent in pass protection."

PS: turn down the music.
 
I vote no, fix the line and have a little backup for depth. A good line will make the backs on our roster great.
 
Only if they aren't bringing Williams back. Otherwise what's the point? Drake should have a bigger role too.
 
The "backs" we should be focusing on include those on the defensive side of the field.
 
very late or undrafted

they will tender Williams but that still doesn't mean you don't bring in a late rounder or udfa especially if there's one you think can play more between the tackles than drake
 
Too many other holes to fill to even have this on the radar. We are looking for 3-5 new starters this season, so 3rd and 4th RBI isn't a priority. You always have 6-7 rbs as camp opens, and Storm is already on the roster, so a couple league minimum guys to compete and at RB much weirder thing have happened.
 
If Williams leaves via free agency I wouldn't mind adding someone like James Conner in the 6th or 7th round, especially if we add an extra pick in those rounds between now and draft day. I would also be interested in adding a cheap free agent like Danny Woodhead or Andre Ellington as a receiving threat out of the backfield, something Miami hasn't had since Reggie left. I think Tannehill would explode if he had a 40+ reception back and 40+ reception tight end to help keep the chains moving. Joseph Yearby from Miami or Jahad Thomas from Temple might udfa's that could play that Woodhead role cheap too. If Williams leaves Miami could easily go into camp with cheap fills and have a running back group of Ajayi, Drake, Christine Michael and Yearby. That's a cheap group but could easily get the job done. Michaels days of hoping to be a starting option maybe gone but he might still be a deep depth option.

I don't know, the player he described doesn't sound like a third or fourth running back, more like a starter. From where I sit most of the good teams in the NFL have a road grader. I say if he's available in the best player on the board you grab him in any round.
 
If Dalvin Cook is within range, go get him

I absolutely love Foreman. I know I'll get some heat for this, but I think he could be better than Fournette, partly do to some injuries with Fournette.

If Foreman is there round 2, I'd snag him. Imagine pounding the ball with Ajayi and Foreman.
