Running Backs

[Southieinnc]

Taylor, Michelle and Harris. (plus 2 FB's and a STer. Not impressive really.
With our O-line and TE's, should do well.anyways. But
Whar are we looking for in draft besides receivers?

Do we resign White? RB's are not getting paid this year but will Tampa throwmoney at him?
10 picks in draft should be some interesting RB's available?

Beyond Aaron Jones, tailbacks are taking what they can get on short-term deals

 

[Southieinnc]

Javonte Williams? 2nd
Kenny Gainwell? 3rd Gotta love an RB named Gainwell!
Michael Carter? 4th
Demetric Felton? 5th

The man is a beast. Could definitely see him as a Patriots FB.

Yeah I have only seen him play twice but he looked liked a monster, and with 10 pick BB can take a chance

Man, this is a tough one. Harris and Stevenson are sure things with White being an almost sure thing in my opinion. If Stevenson is actually hurt then I think we keep Michel otherwise I think Michel gets traded(looking at you Rams). I love the style of JJ Taylor and hope he makes it. Gaffney is toast.

 

[sharkymcwrath]

p.s. Gaffney has two rings with NE. Has he ever played a down?

 

[BigKen]

Tyler Gaffney - Nope
Damien Harris - Starter
Sony Michel - Trade BB did not pick up his 5th year option.
Rhamondre Stevenson - Will be the go-to guy inside the 5 yard line.
JJ Taylor
James White
Brandon Bolden

It's good to be stacked.

White, JJ, Harris and Gaffney.
Stevenson to PS or IR.
Michel to LA for a 2nd?

Have no idea what just happened. Was posted while I was typing.

Tyler Gaffney - Nope
Damien Harris - Starter
Sony Michel - Trade BB did not pick up his 5th year option.
Rhamondre Stevenson - Will be the go-to guy inside the 5 yard line.
JJ Taylor - Stays because he's got hands and is the true change of pace.
James White - Third down back. No question.
Brandon Bolden - I think BB says farewell. He's ST only now and there are too many valuable young guys to take his spot.

Michel to LA for a 2nd?

Stevenson will be ready to play or back up. We'll lose him on PS in a heatbeat.
I loved Gaffney 10 years ago. He is a camp body now.
Michel? Depends. Could go from stacked to thin in a minute.

Yeah, that's why I said IR or PUP. I was just to lazy to hit the back space after I typed PS.
I would rather Michel over Gaffney, but if we could get something decent for him, I would be ok and keep Gaffney as insurance with Harris until Stevenson is ready.

Regarding Sony Michels trade value I've been reading that the Pats would likely get a 5th round pick for him. Isn't that kinda low for a former first round pick that carried his team to a Super Bowl victory? Not sure how him being somewhat often injured and being in the fourth year of his rookie deal plays into it but I would think he'd be worth more. If that's the case I say let's keep him and run him into the ground.

One more question regarding Michel: if the Pats traded him could the new team pick up his fifth year option or would he basically be a free agent after this season?

The media is trying to drum up clicks.

Sony Michel is worth no less than a 2nd round pick.

Bill ain't taken dimes instead of dollars. He could do better in a bad trade than a fifth round pick.
