Look for Brown and Doaks to take over the backfield
Ok. I get that. RB's get injured so much I'd prefer a stable of competent backs over relying on a single "bellcow" (unless u get lucky and get one at great value in the draft).No one said fournette is better. I personally used him as an example of a guy you add to what you have, not replace.
to make it clear - gaskin/brown/ add someone else. Rotate them. Maybe its our 7th rounder but i doubt it.
how in hell do you know
Gotcha there were reports therefore you know for a factBecause there are reports that the Dolphins tried to trade up for Najee Harris.... They wouldn't have tried to do that if they felt really good about our current RB situation.
Well while Ahmad could be good, the FO disagrees that we are done at RB. They just tried to get Kerryon Johnson apparently.Ok. I get that. RB's get injured so much I'd prefer a stable of competent backs over relying on a single "bellcow" (unless u get lucky and get one at great value in the draft).
Our stable is still a work in progress and I'm not against adding a Fournette at a reasonable price. And the odds are not in Doaks favor, but he is exactly the style of back that would be perfect.
But I wouldn't count out Ahmed (noticed you left him out). He looked very good in his limited action before his injury.
He ran a 4.32 40 at his pro day, then tanked it at the combine w a 4.62. That discrepancy is kind of unheard of so no idea what to think there.
Regardless, speed was definitely not an issue for him last year. And he led all our backs w 4.3 ypc.
His size is where he needs to improve. He increased from 191 to 197 a year ago, and if you've seen his offseason photos it looks like he's definitely added some more pounds.
I'm not saying he's guarenteed to do anything. We only really got to see 4 games of him. But it also wouldn't completely shock me if he ended up being our leading rusher. He was only 21 last year. He def shouldn't be left off the list.
There are reports that Waddle was our #1 receiver on the board and the #2 player in the draft too.Because there are reports that the Dolphins tried to trade up for Najee Harris.... They wouldn't have tried to do that if they felt really good about our current RB situation.

Maybe that's true and maybe it's not, but to sit here and try and act like that report is for sure factual is pretty silly.
That's a strawman and you know it.Why would someone make that up post draft? obviously the Broncos caught wind of something and sniped us by picking J. Williams.
doesn't matter, if this front office feels that our RB situation is settled right now then I question if they will be around long term.
That's a strawman and you know it.
Not prioritizing running back in the draft doesn't mean that they think it's settled. If they drafted Harris at #18 instead, you don't think there would be just as many threads and comments talking about how "unsettled" the edge is?
You guys are acting like RB is the last position that needs to be fixed.
Newsflash: It's not, and there are far more important positions on the team that should be fixed before investing heavily to find a complement to Gaskin.
Another straw man. You're on a roll today!we have been the worst rushing team in the last two seasons....it is a big deal and I'm not saying its the only issue we have left. I'm actually glad we didn't reach for a RB, I'm just saying I'm not buying anyone trying to sell Gaskins as a featured RB, this staff is smarter than that too. I still think we will add another RB before the season starts.
I've seen, litterally nobody say that he us a "feature" back.we have been the worst rushing team in the last two seasons....it is a big deal and I'm not saying its the only issue we have left.

I said "our stable of RB's is still a work in progress."Well while Ahmad could be good, the FO disagrees that we are done at RB. They just tried to get Kerryon Johnson apparently.
