[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1027617, member: 18006"] Our running back situation is a little dicey. First, I feel confident we'll get another good year out of Jones, but not as confident we'll get more than one. At his age, there's a good chance we'll be needing to replace him at least sometime in the 2025 season. Second, there's Dillon...do we want to sign him to another contract that will cost over $3M for a single year? Do we want to lock him in for 3? Or do we want to cut him loose now and replace him immediately? In almost every one of those scenarios, RB is a strong need within 2 years, and possibly already this season, so I think we need to make it a priority in this year's draft. Considering that this is a good RB draft, and there are about a half dozen RBs who should fit our immediate need, I don't think we can afford to come out of Day 2 without a back. I wouldn't mind also taking a shot at a Day 3 back, like Milton or Davis. But I don't think we can afford not to take one early. There's just too much uncertainty at that position, and it's just too critically important a position for our offense. If we don't prioritize it this April, we may very well find ourselves having to replace 2 backs in one offseason, and that's a tough spot to be in. [/QUOTE]
