[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1024112, member: 12283"] There are a bunch of factors that have me wondering about the RB position: 1) There's a huge need on the roster; if you keep Jones (which I think they will), he's it. 2) Jones is probably entering his last season. 3) Nearly all draftniks agree that the position in this year's draft is pretty bad. 4) The Packers were interested in trading for and paying Jonathan Taylor. 5) The deflation of RB contracts makes me wonder if, at a point, they become a value add for a team that's willing to zig. McCaffrey is the tippety top of the market and he got 4/64/30 (16M AAV). Taylor is the most recent big deal and he got 3/42/20 (14M AAV). Last off-season, Miles Sanders (whose FA profile was VERY similar to Swift's) got 4/25/11 (6.4M AAV). All of the above has me thinking about [B]D'Andre Swift[/B]. He's a UFA this off-season and there are some bigger names out there that could push him down the market a bit (Barkley, Pollard, Jacobs). He just turned 25 three days ago, so even a four year deal would only pay him into his age 28 season. He only has about 600 career carries on his body. He has a well-rounded skill-set and explosive athletic ability that the team really misses when Jones is out. He finished last season with a 54.1% rush success per Pro Football Reference. A successful rush is defined as gaining 40% of the yards to gain on 1st down, 60% on 2nd down, and 100% on 3rd/4th down. 54.1% ranked 6th among all backs (behind Aaron Jones, Kyren Williams, James Cook, Raheem Mostert, and David Montgomery). If they could get Swift for, say, 4/34/14... I would do that. You could structure it so that it's easy to get out of the last year if he's eroded. That's a low price point at which to add an explosive playmaker to the offense. Plus, I'm sure he would be excited to play the Lions twice every season. [/QUOTE]
