Lol no way are they taking a rb. Matthews looked great last year even with all the OL problems.

Eagles traded for Knile Davis? I just heard it on the radio but I don't see it online.

I always appreciate a good Ted Cruz burn. This one delivered.
This year was pretty bad for me too. Like, cancel my kitchen remodel bad.

That RDR thread took an interesting turn....I really do hope the game is out soon 
Need more than one. Dunno what Matthews' contract is like, but a drafted RB could also provide security for if/when he leaves/gets hurt/gets cut.

Traded what?

No idea they just said that the Eagles have acquired Knile Davis.
It wouldn't surprise me, Zeke is a superb talent.
I keep reading how Zeke is the most complete back in the draft in a long time yet when he is mocked early people freak out.
A true 3 down back doesn't come around very often.

They should trade Matthews and like a 5th round for a 2nd round pick, and get Zeke at 8. I'd be ok with that.
If you could photoshop Brett Favre holding a Lombardi Trophy in 2009, I'd appreciate it.

I need to know when we play LA/SD so I can start planning my trips damn it!
I watched some Ezekiel Elliott tape, too. He's got it all. Good in traffic, good vision, good hands. I didn't see him split wide and running routes, so there may be a learning curve if that's what a team wants him to do. Frankly, it's his blocking that's the stand out feature to me. Willing. Good technique. Stunning first strike.
Can I join you? I will sit with Bread and root on his Chargers.
Exactly. I compare him to Foster a bit. Those types of running backs dont come often
Zeke will be long gone by the time the Pats pick.

You know who else was called the best and most complete running back prospect in and long time? And was also compared to Adrian Peterson ? Called Can't miss prospect? SAFEST BET!

Sure you're more than welcome, I'll even spot you the first round of beers.
Bread has 7 teams. He covers all bases.
that's ok, i'll root for him wherever he goes.

Take CT's offer on the beer. He drinks good stuff. Not that Coors Light BS stuff.
always haggle with him though, took me a few years but i got him to promise me three rounds of beers!

Lets do it, we can meet for Rams/Fins too, I'm sure Fanto will be there as well.
yes but I'm buying you some cheap ass beer,
Really? Nice. Liked him in KC
I think it's just a rumored trade that some people think should happen. If it was on the radio an hour ago, I feel like someone would've done a write-up by now if it were true. I can't find a single article talking about it

Weird that they said it was a dine deal but still nothing online anywhere.
Except it could be a huge waste since it's been well documented a RB can be found in any round even undrafted.
Oh, well that sucks.
Elliott, Davis, Sproles, Barner would be pretty nice going into the season.
Assuming if they get Davis, Matthews is gone.
Continuing my stream of Dark Souls 3, right after 3rd boss if anyone wants to watch.

Yeah it's possible that it's true, I just figured someone else would've commented on it by now. And that would be a good rotation, with the ability to move on from Sproles next year and have Barner take his place
Yeah I'd like Elliot just because I don't think Mathews and Sproles will be here next year regardless, and having Elliot and Barner would be a nice tandem. But I agree with your needs, although I think we can wait on OT. Jack is still my #1, but Hargreaves or someone like Sheldon Rankins would be great. Rankins might be a bit of a reach but he has the talent and would really shore up the interior behind Cox and Logan. Haven't looked into Bosa much since I'm not sure he'll fall to 8

Exactly. When is the last RB drafted in the first round that was an actual gamechanger? Adrian Peterson? And how successful have the Vikings been, exactly, even with the best running back in the league? If a good back falls to you in the draft, sure, take him. But moving around to grab one is more than likely going to end up costing you.

Another potential cowboys bandwagoner? Make room Chris!
Would you be elated if JR picked him?
I'm so torn on a bunch of guys. I feel like I wouldn't hate it if they selected Treadwell or Hargreaves, or even Stanley/Conklin, but I am against them grabbing Floyd. Feels like he's way too soft at the point of attack. Wide receiver is sort of deep just with no elite talents. DE I see them taking too, somewhere in the first four rounds.
My premier choice is Jack but I'm not confident he'll fall that far.

Hmm lets be careful with Bread though, He was a pats fan after all.

Zeke behind Dallas line, watch the fuck out, we may even be able to dent the eagles with that combo this year

Same argument can be made for wide receivers unless I'm missing something.
Typically it's quarterback, pass rush, and protect the pass rush - in that order of importance.
All you have to do is find a team dumb enough to take the bust you drafted off your hands for a 1st rounder!!!
Gurley is really good. My biggest issue w/RBs is that they rarely play all 16 games. It's just too much grind on their bodies to get through a season. But even in the Eagles case, you can look at Westbrook to see how much a feature RB can help win games
Thought this was funny as we celebrate Kobe's last game. Go Jazz and Kings!
