Paradis Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Quote Thomas Rawls - RB - Jets Jets signed RB Thomas Rawls, formerly of the Seahawks. Rawls burst onto the scene with an impressive rookie season in 2015 but has been hampered by injuries and ineffectiveness since then. The 24-year-old isn't a lock to make the team out of training camp but if Rawls does crack the 53-man roster, he'll likely be fighting for scraps behind Isaiah Crowell and Bilal Powell. Related: Seahawks I was a fan of Rawls couple years ago, as a defunct Michigan back (coincidentally we signed a defunct Florida back in Crowell as well) -- and am pleased to see that we've added youth and talent over age and "veteran presence"... I'm not sure Rawls body is going to hold up, but between our 3 backs (bye McGuire) we should have a consistent production. Consider this a move as result of losing both 2nd round picks.

RutgersJetFan Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Sounds like we were after a little distributive justice with this signing. Just a little philosophy joke there for you guys. I can show myself out thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is with the Florida reference? Crowell is a defunct Georgia back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Dude had some back injury luck the past couple seasons, but in general he's an every-down capable RB. The use of cap space for RB depth meets with my approval, since we used draft capital to secure a top 3 pick. I love the depth at RB in this particular draft, but not more than having a franchise QB. Powell may become trade bait now. Crowell, Rawls and McGuire is all we need. If we could net a 5th or 6th for Powell I'd be content with that.

I liked his college game but the guy looked overmatched last year. Draft prediction -- we take late COP back like Chase Edmonds, and lose cut 2/4 backs presently on the roster by september.

Doggin94it Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Rawls looked like the next great NFL back in his rookie season. Then he broke his leg and hasn't been the same since. Really like this move as a flyer - it's all upside, no downside. If he looks good in camp, terrific. If not, he gets cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 19 minutes ago, 19andOhWait said: guess we're not drafting a RB darn Mac LOVES to trade back to recoup picks. I won't be surprised if he trades back from our 3rd rounder to move back 15 spots and net another 4th or 5th round pick; it's his style. He did it 3 times in the '17 draft. Last year he traded back 9 spots w/Minn in the 3rd from 70th (Pat Elflein C) to 79th and acquired the 160th pick in the 4th round. Then with Tampa netting a 6th & finally swapping 5ths w/Cleveland & a 7th rounder netting 2 6th rounders. We'll draft a RB that drops between the 4-7th round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
