The exception is Derek Henry, but give me Cam Akers, Edwards Helaire, Dalvin Cook, McCaffrey types.

I felt we were fine at RB and if you really needed a bruiser then get one in the 6th or 7th round or as a undrafted FA. Or sign a free agent on the cheap like you did w/ Barber. Very easy position to fill.

But if Robinson turns out to be Henry then forget everything I said.. lol.

The thing about RB is within the unit you need guys who fill roles. Now we have a thumper to get tough yards and run between the tackles. Doesn’t fumble either. I think it was a smart pick and now that unit is improved.
