time to look at teams Rb situation - and see who goes FA or who drafts the next Rb!
AFC East:
New England - Sony Michel and Rex Burkhead - they are solid here
Buffalo - LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy - McCoy is not what he was, and on last year of contract.
NY Jets - E. McGuire, T. Cannon, B. Powell - is this the landing spot for Bell? Tevin Coleman?
Miami - Gore gone(or is he...), Drake, Ballage, Bolden - For whatever reason they don't trust Drake
AFC North:
Pittsburgh - Conner and Samuels - good to go here
Baltimore - Edwards and Dixon - Edwards is #1 per HC, but they will add talent in draft
Cincinnati - Mixon and Bernard - not sure if Bernard is FA need depth - M Walton has issues now
Cleveland - N. Chubb, Duke Johnson, K. Hunt - IF Hunt can play, I see them dealing Johnson away
AFC South:
Houston - L. Miller and D'Onta Foreman - Miller may be out, so depth is needed
Indianapolis - Mack, Hynes, Wilkins - seems pretty stacked - rumors have Bell maybe here though..
Jacksonville - Fournette, Hyde, Grant - need depth, Hyde is a goner
Tennessee - Henry and Lewis - solid pair here
AFC West:
Kansas City - D. Williams, West, Ware - is Williams the real deal? Do they draft to replace... BELL?!?!!?!
L.A. Chargers - Gordon, Ekeler, Jackson - they are set, but need long term deal for Gordon
Denver - Lindsay, Freeman - solid pair here
Oakland - C. Warren???? - Martin is FA I believe, as is Lynch - really need help here
NFC East:
Dallas - Elliot and Smith - good to go
Washington - Guice and Thompson - still talking maybe re-signing A.P. - Guice needs to be healthy
Philadelphia - J. Adams, B. Scott - Ajayi is FA, Sproles is FA, Smallwood is also FA I believe - Bell here would be a God send - but what about Tevin Coleman??? or Duke Johnson... hmmmm
N.Y. Giants - Barkley and Gallman - depth only issue here
NFC North:
Chicago - Howard and Cohen - they seem set, but I hear rumbles of Howard going ....
Minnesota - Cook , Boone - Murray is FA so they need some depth
Green Bay - Jones and Williams - should be okay but an O-line upgrade would be nice
Detroit - Johnson looks to be the guy - but no real depth Riddick gone, Blount gone...Zenner??
NFC South:
New Orleans - Kamara - they supposedly want Ingram back..but he is FA, need depth
Atlanta - Freeman is back(hopefully healthy), I. Smith, B. Hill add depth Coleman is a goner FA
Carolina - McCaffrey is the man - need solid back up , look for them to draft
Tampa Bay - Jones II????, Barber?? - desperately need a guy here
NFC West:
L.A. Rams - Gurley, C.J. Anderson??? - do they re-sign Anderson? Draft future - Gurley has arthritic knee....
Seattle - Carson and Penny is solid pair
San Francisco - McKinnon, Brieda, Mostert - if they keep Mckinnon they should be very solid
Arizona - D. Johnson, Edmunds, Logan - need real QB and O-line but rb is solid
Top draft Rbs:
Not a deep Rb draft....top expected picks are:
1) Josh Jacobs Rb Alabama
2) David Montgomery Iowa State
3) Darrell Henderson Memphis
4) Devin Singletary Florida Atlantic
5) Damien Harris Alabama
6) Elijah Holyfield Georgia
7) Miles Sanders Penn State
8) Rodney Anderson Oklahoma
9) Bryce Love Stanford
Top FA Rbs:
1) Le'Veon Bell
2) Tevin Coleman
3) Mark Ingram
4) T. J. Yeldon
5) Latavius Murray
6) Jay Ajayi
7) Javorius "Buck" Allen
So draft will be main fix for most teams, but one team will step up and over pay for Bell and Coleman.
