From PFF. I realize this list could/will change, but here are some of the possibilities at running back.

The 2021 offseason didn’t have any top-end free agent running backs available once Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones signed his extension to run it back, and this year looks to be no different. Last year, the biggest free-agent contract doled out was a two-year, $11 million deal for Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake, but his replacement with the Arizona Cardinals, Chase Edmonds, has been much better so far this season, though his backup James Conner is starting to eat into his workload rather significantly.

Teams should never spend a significant amount of free agency dollars on a running back even if some productive players are available, and the NFL seems to have finally figured that out.
 
Wouldn't mind a 1b guy so we don't have to reach in the draft but at same time no one there stands out. Mostert can't stay healthy.
 
i'm surprised by the ages to be honest, i'd have thought fournette was older and mostert younger, rbs wear out suddenly though, would be nice to find a surprise in the draft
 
i think we need more of a bulldozing runningback to pair with Gaskin. Gaskin seems to be getting better, so find a guy like Frank Gore who just plows through people. Anyone like that in the draft this year? We dont need to spend top dollar or a top pick on a runningback.

Agreed

I think the draft is the move here for a rb

In hindsight would you still take Phillips in the 2nd last draft with Harris and Williams still on the board? I know my answer and it was the same thing I thought then... Why would you draft a often injured defensive end when that much talent is still on the table

Just say no to 1st round running backs

It's a fair question. Also, the year before Miami took Iggy over Taylor. Taylor is now one of the best RB'S in the NFL and Iggy hardly plays.

I get that RB'S aren't as valuable as other positions, but good ones are better than draft swings and misses.
