RB Jaylen Wright

[MiaFins31]

In a vacuum it makes sense.

Mostert is aging with an injury past and had a concerning fumble issues last season.. Achane is smallish and was hurt his rookie season. Wright is a good fit and insurance.

From a higher level, i can see the debate on both sides.

A running back is fine… but you don’t make that pick when you have glaring holes on the OL/DL interior.

You especially don’t trade away a future 3rd regardless whether you have compensatory picks coming or not to draft a d@mn running back.

For the record I wasn’t taking a shot at you… was just saying you said it the nice way.

How does he compare to Achane?

Pretty much same type of player

 

[Ray R]

Another quality addition.

You are accidentally right, again. - LOL

 

[Ray R]

Why tf are we taking running backs....

McDaniels throws the ball on 3rd and short and 4th and inches......


First pick I don't like. We can't commit to the run.

But, but, but he's a running back. - LOL

 

[Feverdream]

Pretty much same type of player

Not even close...

He's 20 lbs heavier and accomplished in pass protection.

Lol, no worries. I didn't take it that way....and even if so, i don't take it personally. It's an opinion board and everyone has their own.

Jaeylen “see ya” Wright. Inside runner with breakaway speed.

Yes and don’t forget these highlights are brought to you by SEC competition.

 

[hmichaels]

maybe Achane makes a pivot to our favorite position, dwarf WR

now that I think about it, he could do those motions that get Hill gassed

 

[Ray R]

This is a nice way of saying… WTF are we doing?

Pay more attention to non-"Lemming" posts. - LOL

 

[circumstances]

Seeing he is a natural pass catcher.

I love throwing to the backs.

Frustrating when they fight the ball instead of catching smoothly and naturally.

Great trait to have that can't be taught.

Good stuff bro.

 

[Rev Kev]

This is your return specialist

 

[ChambersWI]

Yeah i get that. I guess what confuses me is the willingness to part with a 2025 3rd for a running back, given the current roster, vs using 2025 capital to trade up for Fautanu in R1 or up in R2 for a guy like Newton, Dejean, or others they may have had a 1st round grade on that slipped bc of the QBs.

Again, i doubt very few fans will dislike the player. Wright is electric and exactly what McD likes. But current RB room, current roster gaps and overall draft value and draft movement is what some may be confused by. I expect some good debates over the next 1-2 years as we see these kids develop.

Team is taking a multi year look in this draft for sure

Yeah, let's pay more attention to laugh smilies and witty one-liners

 

[Phinslife]

I'm starting to think we have a plan to use X's money post June 1st on OL and DL.
