With Penny gone will Pete draft a running back?

[Scout]

I would not be surprised if the Hawks use a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a RB.

 

[bileever]

I'm not sure Robinson is worth the 5th pick, but I wouldn't say no RB is. If the 22 year old Derrick Henry were available in the draft, I'd take him at #5.

 

[sutz]

I'm not sure Penny moving on changes their intention around RB. We kind of needed to draft at least one anyway.

 

[seatownlowdown]

just take zach evans in the 4th. problem solved.

 

[sutz]

Maybe you won't find a K9 type guy, but you can definitely find seviceable RBs in later rounds.

 

[RiverDog]

I don't want to spend any higher than a 3rd rounder for a running back. They're injury prone and most are just two down backs. Spend the higher picks on defense and the offensive line, and if a quality RB is available on the 3rd day of the draft, go ahead and grab him.

[Zybot]

I like Tyjae Spears.

 

[CDN_C_Hawk]

How about, looking at Austin Ekeler....swap 20 and 21 in 1st , and this years 4th or next years 4th. I know he wants better than the 7.6mil he would get from LAC , so guarantee 16 mil on 3yrs/27 mil offer. Really think he'd be a weapon for Geno catching passes out of backfield.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

I really hope a higher pick is not used on a back. I would prefer finding guy in the lower around or a veteran pickup for cheap....guys who can spell Walker while he is the feature guy. What the status of DJ Dallas's contract? Homer is a FA if I recall

Really good point ^ So like, what round did they get Carson in? Yep, that's right.

We aren’t going to spend a high draft pick on a RB. Walker is a stud, Homer is reliable, Dallas too. Would have loved to pick up Mostart. I’d go for Brown (Illinois) in 4th maybe 5th round.

 

[Chukarhawk]

They like Charbonet and the kid from WAZZU. it will be one of those two.

 

[Cyrus12]

I’d like to see them sign D’Ernst Johnson.

Not a bad move imo

But if Walker gets hurt neither option can fill a one role..not even close.

 

[CPHawk]

Charbonnet is a freak

He was awesome, but he was ridden hard and put away wet by UCLA. I question how much tread is left on the tires.

 

[Maelstrom787]

I get a lot of criticism for being a fanboy for the front office and whatnot.

I disagree with letting him get away for essentially the vet minimum. I disagree wholeheartedly and vehemently.

Nope, this is a horseshit decision and I hate it with every fiber of my being. Injury be damned, if you have a chance to roster a transcendent talent, you do it. You buy that lottery ticket every time.

Yeah, I get it. He gets injured. Who gives a rip when he costs pretty much zero? The upside outweighs the risk. Easily. EASILY.

Rashaad might've wanted a fresh start? I don't know. Eagles continue to shred the league.

 

[Maelstrom787]

The best. The literal best. Damn shame he couldn't just... not get his leg snapped.

 

[AgentDib]

Remember that Homer is a free agent and Dallas is on the last year of his deal. With Penny going elsewhere we could easily draft two RBs. Preferably one short yardage back to pair with Walker, and another third down back to pair with Dallas. Then add a UDFA or two to compete in training camp.

I'm pretty sure he wanted a change of scenery. His luck was kinda snake-bit here.
