Draft Overview:RBs+FBs+TEs
Next position. RB+FB+TE
You may think that both of these positions are settled but not quite. The team's needs in these positions are low and that is why this overview has been combined.
Ricky Williams offcourse is there, secondly Travis Minor who is a RFA, but I doubt someone will pay a third, and Leonard Henry.
If say a talented back like Julius Jones were to fall to us in the sixth or so you still have to fire on a player like him.
This article is more about FBs. You could say it was the OL's fault this year, but look at L.T. His line has sucked just as hard as ours all year long, but Lorenzo Neal got him over 5 yards a carry. Konrad's play was not as good as his in 2002 and I am hoping he is not developing the same concussion problems as Christian was in Atlanta.
There is also a possiblity of changing offenses. Then maybe a Deon Dyer guy will be needed more. Some options in the latter rounds are Mike Karney and Doug Easlick. Keep in mind that Ayanbadejo is also a free agent.
TE wise we are pretty much set if our LS comes back healthy and beats out Jeff Grau. McMike is a good as ever and will have an ever better year next year, Lee has controlled his penalties and will next season contribute even more and give us a dangerous TE tandem.
