Agreed.
I think teams are quickly learning that 1st/2nd round RB's are not worth it unless its the second coming of Adrian Peterson.
Shelf life of RB's just doesnt warrant a high draft pick.
Toss in that almost every team has a 1/2 combo RB scheme.
Ben Tate a Dolphin?

We've tried this route, it hasn't worked out well. Daniel Thomas, Lamar Miller, Mike Gillislee. All backups at best. And this running back class in this upcoming draft blows after Tre Mason.
Tate is a better option than anything we could get in the draft.

I'd prefer the Browns to use up their cap and eliminate themselves from signing other guys.
Lets focus money on O-Line, LB

Or you have to be able to catch the ball. With how wide open the NFL is now if a RB can't help in the passing game he's going to plummet. Like guys like Kapri Bibbs and Andrew Williams I think would fit our offense from a running style BUT neither can catch.

He's not THAT injury prone as he's missed 2 games, 5 games and 1 games the past 3 years, but he is a risk like any of these FA RBs. What concerns me more are his almost 1:1 TD to fumble ratio with his limited touches and the fact that he considers himself "an elite RB in the NFL" and that means he's going to expect that type of payday. He fumbles once every 47 carries and that's a big concern to me whereas Lamar has 228 attempts with only 1 fumble and MJD only had 1 in 234 carries last year.

Again, Dolphin fans continue to prove to be the most ignorant in the NFL. Ben Tate would be a beast in Miami.
Thomas was a 3rd when we should of taken DeMarco Murray
Miller was a 4th and has shown some promise, personally still to early to judge, give him a decent O-line first.
Gillislee 5th rounder and I think everyone knew he was a LONG shot.
No elite RB's this draft but plenty of mid tier types.

Why are you not helping shill for Tre Mason?
He is the BEST and the ONLY RB worth taking this year.
I am deathly afraid there are Internet shills out there pushing for carlos hyde. I DO NOT WANT THAT GUY.

Thomas is not guilty of being a serviceable NFL player, that's established beyond a reasonable doubt. Backs like thomas play for sub-.500 teams. Need to get a hammer and crack that acorn once and for all.

Tate's fumbles concern me.
On a cheap contract, I'm fine with this. If he gets the kind of money he's been yapping about... no thank you.

Tua time!
Ok, what would make hoops happy? This should be fun.
there's not enough time in a day for me to give that answer...
I hope you don't mean everyone that wants Hyde is a shill. I think he's a tough runner, which is what we didn't have last year. It's actually been quite a while since we've had a tough runner here. What don't you like about him?
