JotsFeed Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hey guys i was just wondering who you guys thought could replace Chris Ivory for this upcoming season, and do you think Blial powell is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike135 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ezekiel Elliott would be nice. If we were able to draft him, no need for either Ivory or Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Derrick Henry is my #1 choice since I don't see Elliot making it to pick 20 . My 2nd choice is Devontae Booker from Utah . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2nd choice is Devontae Booker from Utah . I don't follow college ball at all. Just starting to look into options now. So far I'm focused on Elliot or Floyd (LB). Normally wouldn't suggest a RB in the 1st, but Elliot looks worth it. Henry and Booker are worth it? Even if a great OLB is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 IMO, Henry is a 1st round pick and a darn good get. Booker will probably be gone in the 2nd provided he runs well at his proday. Late 2nd early 3rd the latest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 1st round running backs are about as common as dinosaurs. Wait until the 2nd get CJ Prosise and be fine. Henry is not a first rounder. Elliott is a good player but running backs are a dime a dozen. Just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm starting to believe you don't draft a RB in the 1st round unless he's can't miss, no brainer choice. We need LBs or Oline players to replace our older guys someday. I think when it's all said & done there will be some very good RBs in the 2nd & 3rd round, plus veterans looking for work after the free agent money dries up.

Integrity28 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 a guy I'd be interested in is Khiry Robinson... he had a complete RB skillset, but never got on the field in NO because they burned that early pick on what's his face.... and always had pass-catching specialists for 3rd down. Parcells used to tell Payton that Khiry was a poor man's Curtis Martin. another guy to consider bringing in for depth is Bobby Rainey, he had stretches of great play in Tampa, but with the coaching changes he seemed to get lost in the shuffle other than them, Powell and Hillman, not sure any of the RBs left in FA are worth the money... would rather look to the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator_05 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Trade up to get ELLIOT. Whatever it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Apparently the more he gets analyzed the more Ezekiel Elliott continues to rise - he is highly regarded as a complete 3 down back. Ideally you find a guy in the later rounds because they can be had, but you still have to get somebody. Elliott's looking like a good bet but I'd have mixed emotions. Mac will almost def pick up a FA beforehand, but I guess that's the point of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd go for elliot at 20 but he is going to go shockingly high imo. Henry I would not be in favor of at 20. We simply need more picks this year I would not be surprised if we finally did traded down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King P Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah, I don't think Zeke is gonna make it to 20 unfortunately. He either goes to Miami at 13 or Oakland at 14. Possible even Indy at 18. I'll pass on Henry. Not a fan of him, and I don't think his style translates in the pros. He'll be good, but nowhere near great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Alex Collins, the second guy in looks pretty fast...his NFL comp is Chris Ivory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSfaninNE Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Khiry Robinson and then draft a RB this year. Hopefully keep Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be good, but nowhere near great I hope someone takes Zeke before 14 , because I think he isn't going to get past the Raiders pick. I don't want a Rb in the first.( prefer a defense line N Like Emmanuel Ogbah.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Lamar Miller if we had any damn cap room. I think we probably end up with Arian Foster, due to the injury/age discount and connection to the GM. He should be awesome in Gailey's offense all four games he plays.
