I'd be all for this, but I haven't heard of any RB's being on the block. I was really hoping Collins could be our guy but he's inconsistent and still seems to have fumbling issues. We need a workhorse like Rice was for us. A perennial top 10 pick in fantasy football lol. It would do wonders for Joe.

I don't think we should invest in an RB right now since we have options. I don't think Collins is a workhorse but all I'm asking for us to run the Football effectively. We just need a run game that can keep the defense honest and keep drives alive. We need the OL to do a better job run blocking because they have been awful there with guys failing to make blocks at the 2nd level. I think Skura is a candidate to be replaced post-bye week and maybe we might look into shifting the line if Orlando Brown Jr has another good performance. I would go as deep as possible trying to bring an OG or C here.

When you say “I don’t think we should invest in a RB now” do you mean by trade or do you mean in the upcoming offseason? Just want to be clear.

By trade atm, I do think we should go for an RB in the upcoming offseason but I do have OL as the highest priority in the offseason FWIW followed by pass rusher.

Hmmm. I sort of agree regarding RB because I don’t see anyone out there we can get that makes sense. You’ll either get a RB with high wear or a RB with upside and they’ll likely cost you a pretty pick unless you trade for potential alone. You say OL is tops? I assume you mean center or a RG to replace Yanda? I do agree on pass rusher because I only think that Williams is worth a damn but I’m still hopeful Bowser does something but I’m worried he’ll be JAG.

so because he beats his kids and you dont, you dont like him? I honestly dont understand how people dislike him because he whooped his child makes zero sense to me.

Well didn’t report’s say he used a weapon that left pretty bad marks? Like it was clearly more than just a regular whooping and really bordering on straight child abuse?

Yeah he used a switch and there were some pretty graphic pictures. It was more than just a regular whooping @Deebo813, it was pretty bad but one act isn’t unforgivable and it doesn’t make him a terrible person.

I don't care how people choose to grow their kids but there's millions of people 'whooping' children and not ending in court because child was badly injured with a whip.

That’s exactly how I feel with RBs right now. In terms of OL I’m thinking OG or C but preferably C by a good distance.

I’m afraid Bowser is a JAG. It’s unfortunate but he’s shown absolutely nothing so far and might be a daily inactive soon. We can’t rely on him so we definitely will be in the market for a pass rusher.

Just to clarify it wasn’t a whip, it was a switch, a stick. An actual whip is used as a torture device and would’ve been much worse.

i mean plenty of people arent nfl players that will make headlines when they do it. Kids are pretty brittle just like all women. They can literally be pinched and skin could turn purple or lesve a bruise. Its not like he knocked his wife out in an elevator or anything

its not like he made him get butt naked and whooped him..Kids have sensitive skin so even whooping him through shorts would leave those marks.

So on OL we have Hurst, Stanley, and Brown as guys guaranteed to be here IMO. Yanda is a 50/50 because I really wouldn’t be surprised if he retires and I do wonder if Hurst is the groomed replacement for him and why we want to keep him on the right side. Anyway, we also have Eluemenor, Siragusa, and Bozeman and Skura. We also have Alex Lewis but I think it would be a mistake to rely on a guy with all these injuries but still he’s here so yeah. That’s Stanley, Brown JR, Hurst, Lewis, Bozeman, Siragusa, Eluemenor and Yanda if he returns. I definitely think we need a C but I don’t know if we need a G. I think it would be nice but not absolutely necessary. I would love to go and draft some elite OL but I don’t see one in the first round for us, do you? FA scares me for OL because it’s a true crapshoot.

I think we need to stop trying to get these Correa-Bowser type players. They’re not working out for us. I still think Bowser could amount to something, though; however, I am concerned. I have hope Judon can emerge from his situation but I am not sure he’ll ever be that elite threat unlike Tim Williams who may be one of our better picks of late. I always look for guys who stack games not just flash and die down. I’m very worried about our pass rushers when we lose Suggs

We 100% need to draft a pass rusher high next year or something. I haven’t looked at prospects besides Bosa etc so idk if this is a good draft for them but basically all we’ve got right now for the future is TWill
