'No doubt about it,' Redskins need to upgrade at running back

Perine is a solid number 2, Kelley is the odd man out here IMO and CT is coming off an ACL, U never know how that will play out. We need RB's to compete, sign Demarco to a 1 year prove it deal. He's 30 so he won't get much $. I'd rather have Guice, Perine and CT but it's hard to justify taking a RB at 13.

If that is what you want, it isn't hard to justify that

Lets wait and see what we do in FA , But if we don't address G,WR,LB then I would say draft one of those before a RB.

Cooley and Kevin made me come around on Murray a bit. As long as it’s a reasonable deal there’s no doubt he would be an upgrade and we could still draft someone. And he knows Callahan well.

Yeah that's the deal there, he was great with Bill in Dallas, he's 30 but other guys have stayed productive at 30, Forte, Faulk, Martin etc. It can be done.

I listened to the same Cooley broadcast as Matty.

If he can actually make the right read and cut, and press the edge, 30 or not, he would be better than anyone on the roster in 1st and 2nd downs. CT excluded of course.

I would be for very short term deal.

2 year deal for like 6M seems like a solid deal for him. 3m a year for a 30 yo RB isn't too bad.

What about CJ Anderson when the Broncos cut him

Just looking at rumors and names.

He's better than what we have right now.

Torrey Smith traded to the Panthers...

If you take a look over the last 15 years also, with the exception of Flacco and Foles all the Super Bowl winners had elite QBs or QBs playing at an elite level, but the way people talk you would think to never take a RB ever, just UDFA every year

The running game is only going to reach a certain level with Jay as the HC/OC. And thats okay because hes very creative and efficient with the passing game.

I think giving him a high draft pick RB will only move the run game forward so far especially in comp to how that same pick could help other positions.

I would draft a RB late and not over react to the bad luck the team had with injuries at that position last year.

[Meks]

wouldn't mind murray at the right price, of course. RB is a tricky position for us right now it seems. Do you draft one in the first? I can't see that being touted as that pressing of a need for the FO brass or Jay but who knows what kind of smoke screens they are throwing up.

[Skinsfanatic]

I would rather us just draft someone in the first two rounds and have our guy for the future.

[skinsfaninok]

I still believe Perine can get better but he will never be a back that scares a defense, he's more of a truckload short yardage guy.. I'm all for drafting a RB but I still think we should trade down to do that, unless Barkley was at 13 (which is not happening)
