Yes. Kyler isn't maximizing any WRs. Better to ensure we can run the ball with Conner and another back like Henry
Audric Estime. James Conner 2.0 ...young legs with no changes to the running game.

Of course, we would still need a scatback

I will not complain if Cardinals get a RB in round 2 for 2024
Eh If Conner, Carter, and Demercado are back, I think it would be a waste of a draft pick.

I like Benson from FSU but I don't think he gets enough carries to make using a 2nd rounder worth it.

No clue but I’m not with the side of signing a passed-his-prime player again.
Just finding legit players who can succeed without depending on Kyler to be a different QB. Age is irrelevant for a FA RB because you shouldn't be giving them too many years.

Stacking 29, soon to be 30 year old Running Backs, neither of which will play special teams doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

I don't know that he is past his prime? But, I think he would want quite a bit of money. Maybe more than we would be willing to give him?

How “legit” is he going into 2024?

lol, like hell. It’s probably THE most relevant for a FA RB if anything cause there’s a reason he’s a FA in the first place.
You can't fill every roster need in one year. That means you need to make some short term moves. And you also need to plan on having to settle for guys because you are a train wreck franchise. Henry at 5 mil for one year isn't terrible and ensures your not drafting in the top 5 again if Conner gets hurts longer than a couple games.

I said signing Derrick Henry would be like signing AJ Green all over again, but actually, it would be like signing Adrian Peterson all over again.
If you have to run the ball to compete, you have to spend more on RBs. I would rather use 5 mil on a FA RB so I can use my draft picks on premium positions.

ll depends on where you want to spend your limited 2024 resources. Kyler has shown that he can't carry this team throwing the ball so that means we have to run it. Conner has shown that he will miss games, like most RBs. Spending 5 mil on another RB for one year doesn't hurt anything and frees up other resources.

….no you don’t.

This is a good mindset, but you’re not using literally every draft pick on a premium position. Especially Day 3 picks, which would be the way to go instead of wasting it on Derrick Henry.

And your idea was to use that money on a player passed his prime at RB?

Do you really?

It’s pretty lame.
What is lame is depending on Demercado, Carter and some day 3 draft pick to carry your offense if Conner goes down. Have to accept who Kyler is and it isn't a QB who can carry a team without a running game. And you can't depend on the defense to be fixed in one year.

We need a CB, multiple DL players, EDGE players, multiple WRs and OL depth. I would rather use draft picks on all of those positions vs a RB in 2024.

Would argue that’s a much better decision than wasting on a passed-his-prime guy that offers nothing in the passing game. Immediate red flags would come out if Monti even made such a move because that would tell me he’s not much different than Keim.
