[QUOTE="sschind, post: 818905, member: 10247"] I know the prevailing wisdom says you take a RB late, don't pay them any money, let them go after their rookie contract is up and just grab another and you will be just fine but these are the kinds of guys (Jones and Williams) you get when you don't spend big draft capital or money. Sure there are exceptions but you can't treat a position as an afterthought and expect it to become a strength. At best you hope it gets you by and does not become your downfall. You certainly can hope you nail it like the Broncos apparently did with Phillips (and apparently blew it with Freeman) but lets see how it plays out over the next couple of years. It is certainly not a position I would like to have to address every 3 or 4 years hoping you get a guy that can contribute consistently. If there were a Saquon Barkley type available in the draft I absolutely wouldn't mind taking him at 12 or especially 30. I don't know anything about Jacobs but if he were there at 30 I wouldn't mind taking him if he's the type of guy the coaches think could play a consistent healthy and very productive role in the offense. Depending on what the coaches think of therm and how they will fit the system I am also OK with rolling with Jones and Williams as our primary backs as well if we don't grab a RB early or invest in a upper level FA. All I know is I hope we get the RBs, whoever they may be, more involved. That doesn't have to necessarily mean more carries as involvement in the passing game can be just as effective. [/QUOTE]
