-Leonard Fournette said to be available in a trade maybe we could send a few late round picks 4 and a 5 and land him. He’s similar to Jordan Howard but offers a little more catching the ball out of the backfield. He’s always hurt and character doesn’t strike me as a dolphins guy.
-Lamical Perine hes my favorite I hope we can land him in round 4. Perfect compliment for Jordan Howard he may be the best receiving and pass blocking back in the draft. Plus his cousin Samaje finished the season with us so would be cool.
-Devonta Freeman Free agent back he’s had injuries and regressed since his breakout but a big name, still only 28 would probably be cheap and welcome a return to south Florida.
-Lamar Miller he’s been very consistent when healthy would be a decent number 2 behind Jordan Howard.
-Notable RBs still available in draft: Eno Benjamin, Josh Kelley, and Anthony McFarland.

Still mad Dobbins got snagged right before us, also really wanted Cam Akers he’s gonna replace Gurley just fine gonna be a major steal
 
Looks like Howard is the guy, if not I’m sure Fitzpatrick won’t might leading the team in rushing again.

Yeah I think Howard’s a stud probably best back weve had in awhile. But he was beat up last year and you need multiple guys. We gotta add someone else last year was brutal.

Howard, Gaskin, Laird, Perine x2 would make for a good camp battle
 
Go watch JaMycal Hasty play special teams and tell me he won't be a late round pick.

Nice one! I was also hoping we’d get a running back. We can still draft one I suppose, but wish we would’ve gotten Dobbins.

Otherwise, definitely got some good prospects in our secondary, Oline, and a nose tackle which is also good. Running back though is now the weakest position in the team still. I don’t want Fournette though. Am concerned he’s not a culture fit.
 
No to Fournette. His attitude sucks.

I'm thinking we will draft 2 with our 4th and 5th rounder picks, as we have 5 picks total.

It’s crazy to me we didn’t last one of the top RB in this draft. There were 3. We had the most draft capital

There were 5....Swift, Akers, Dobbins, Taylor, Helaire

I wanted Swift or Akers, they are the two most complete RB in the draft. People slept on Akers a bit, that will change soon. He had to deal with terrible coaching in college, and he was the only offense at FSU
 
I am of the opinion Anthony McFarland is going to do well in the NFL, and would be a good complement to Jordan Howard.
 
I love Taylor and wouldn't have minded a few of the other guys either but RB is the easiest position to fill via FA. We can pick up any one of Miller, Hyde or Crowell and it's plug and play. No problem with us not trading up for one. I would have liked to have seen a trade up for one of the higher rated WRs though. Talented WR is much harder to find and a lot more expensive in FA.
 
Those running backs went fast. Even Dillon, who I thought Miami could potentially land in R3.
