[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 901554, member: 9033"] Henry didn't become the dominant force he has been the past 2 seasons until the Titans brought in Tannehill and Brown. Passing games make the running game easier, not the other way around. Otherwise Dalton would have been helped a lot more by Zeke, as opposed to Zeke falling off a cliff when Dak got hurt. I could also point out that Rodger's most efficient year ever was torpedoed by not having enough decent players at corner or interior pass rusher. We'll certainly get to revisit this next season depending on whether Gute can find corners to replenish that position while Dillon is being a good running back. I just happen to think that a player like Dantzler, Johnson, or Trevon Diggs at CB would have helped more not only in 2020, but, going forward, they also would have shored up a position group that's much harder to get good rookie production out of; rookie running backs can generally play pretty well, so why draft them a year early? Not only are rookie running backs generally better NFL players than rookie corners but free agent running backs are also cheaper than free agent corners. I have not said that early round running backs can't be good, many times they are. I have just said that finding good running backs in later rounds is easier than finding good player at other, more valuable, positions like WR, pass rusher, or CB. Yes, many of the top offenses have drafted guys in the first 3 rounds, but I would argue that, of the top-10 offenses in the NFL last year, only Kamara and Henry have proven to be great running backs (maybe Dobbins or Taylor join that group). I also need to clarify that I don't mind taking a running back in the 3rd round nearly as much as I do taking a guy in the 2nd round (I'd still prefer drafting an athletic, pass catching guy like Jones in round 4 or later though). The 2020 draft was not something I thought was very good for this team, that's obviously my stance. However, there's no going back and changing it. I'm hoping Dillon becomes a pro-bowler for the 3 years he has left with the team and Gute can find a way to fix the cornerback group. [/QUOTE]
