May as well keep him. No trade value, no cap worries.

We haven’t had THAT much and if he can impact like many recent day 2 guys it’s great value

It ends the frank gore era

We needed a back and offensive playmaker. Not my favorite overall option on the board but not a shock and I generally love day 2 rb values as a rule of thumb

For some reason I suspect it’s edge but agree Hakeem would make a lot of sense

Feels like they may have thought we were going rb which I wouldn’t have hated need offensive playmakers all around

I just find it amusing when posters try to really differentiate value on deep day 3 picks. Singling you out wasn’t the intent. You just happened to have the “I could maybe live with” and then continuously reply to me thinking it was amusing

That would be part of ensuring the BPA is a need.

We really need one more and he’s looking like the best bet. Not moving up for a wr here was a disappointment even if not DK

Yea that 6.4% chance of a starter in the 5th vs 4.9% in the 6th really moves the needle on the decision to pick up and likely extend a known quantity

Maybe you could live with a 5th but your good with a 6?!? ? some of yall take these day 3 picks mighty serious

I liked the kid coming out. Arizona followed by this likely dooms any chance he might’ve had.

If the dude gets us 4000 yards and 18 tds before flaming out for another team on his second contract I’d still call that a win at this point.

DL, OL and WR accounts for 12 out of 22 starters essentially and coincidentally the strong suits of this draft largely. Is it shocking that need and value lined up?

Would much rather that than draft one honestly. Get a WR. Trade for a TE and just BPA high upside guys for any leftover picks

Have you compared he and mills in any meaningful way

Bingo.

Nice add. We have a lot of pieces at OL now. Should be able to ease him in as needed and also have depth. Nice change from last year.

In that this audio was at one point mentioned as protection, it would make sense that it’s release is in response to something

Yea but Ritchie was blue collar so we like him

In my scenario I’m hoping for DK plus a lineman tonight. And I think we have enough for a passable line at this point honestly. The pick would be to create depth/competition and stability longer term not to be a huge immediate impact probably if being honest about development of lineman. but a wr room with: beasley brown zay dk (wildcard) foster (wildcard still) andre Roberts looks nice to me

I’ll keep making this point- we (myself included) loved getting the TE as a security blanket with clay. But our qb wasn’t a dink and dunk in the middle of the field type and he rarely showed value. Thats the long long way to say get a guy that plays to Allen’s strengths and not weaknesses. A big bodied, physical threat with straight line speed seems to be great for a guy that describes himself as always looking for the TD pass first. I think we could feasibly go after both a WR and OT early in the second. We don’t have room for all these picks and are loading up talent to win now. I wouldnt be opposed to securing two high picks tonight, and still looking to take in a vet in a trade (late pick for someone on an iffy contract for instance or who has been replaced by a draft pick) and not having much more ammo after that.

Given how threads on him went during the season it’s really surprised me honestly.

The flip is his abysmal cones and shuttles. I’d make the move but he’s very boom or bust in measureables

And dts this year. Would be an odd coincidence
