Mostert achane and wright can be a good trio. Keep them all fresh, 1 man shows only last a few years usually.

Mostert did a good job of putting the ball in the endzone last season.
If you all remember awhile back, I said that Wright was Special and if given the opportunity to play, he would demonstrate his explosive capability!
I felt pretty confident about this prediction for the reasons I stated in an earlier post.
I am sure happy to be proven right because he will help the team going forward.
He is the best draft pick in this draft so far and it is not even close, although I saw something from Chop the last game that gives me hope.
Grier can't and won't pick quality Offensive Linemen, but he did hit a homerun with Jaylen Wright!

I've said since day one... Wright will eventually be our 1a RB... probably by the end of the year.
Mostert is old. Achane is a smallish complementary back. Plus, both are fragile.

I said Wright should have gotten the carries on our last drive.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wright's style and explosiveness....and his yards after first contact
He is the type of runner we typically see on the offenses we play against and never on our own offense
He will get more touches I'm sure, and there is still room for Mostert and Achane to also be a big part of the offense

Imagine if we had really good guards, even one? I so want a stud center/guard combo but Brewer has played ok

He needs to be our RB1. Mostert is 32 but can still contribute as part of a committee. I love Achane but he’s one of the most fragile players in football. Add in Jeff Wilson Jr. in a pinch when you need him and I really like this group.
Exactly this. I was never convinced Achane was a workhorse back yet. He may very well work his way into that roll but as of right now he should be uses in conjunction with. I know Mostert's injury jump started that use but now with the bye, it should be a healthy 1,2,3 punch again.
Was I watching a different game? Before Mostert softened up the defense Wright moved nothing. A 1-2 yard Wright run is a 3-4 yard Mostert run. That’s what I saw. Now if Wright gets hit from the side he has great contact balance and keeps moving forward. But that’s different than running through someone. That he hasn’t shown he can do.

We could have drafted Barton or traded down and drafted JPJ.
I'm glad he's in my fantasy draft. I've had him on the bench, but time to move to the starting line up.
He should definitely be our top RB for the next few years.
