Foo Falcons Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) @FalconFanSince1969 has a solid mock of us drafting two RBs that got me thinking. Its an interesting idea that would allow us to use our cap space elsewhere and its a solid way of going about our situation. However this post is about the possibility of signing a vet and drafting a later guy. Ito theoretically should be a good 3rd down RB but the concussion injury is a concern. Having a stable of RBs is a nice thought. We definitely could take two RBs and I think thats a solid idea however, if we choose to go veteran RB and later Rd RB, here are some options without taking the notable guys we all wouldn't mind having in Rds1-2, i.e. Harris, Ettiene, Williams. Free Agent RBs to consider as a starter (from best to worst): Aaron Jones Marlon Mack Chris Carson Kenyan Drake Leveon Bell Mike Davis Gus Edwards (RFA) Ty Montgomery Mark Ingram Jones would likely be a little pricy but not out of the realm of possibilities. Mack, Carson, Drake, and Edwards are guys I would love to add to compete for a starting role and woukdnr break the bank. All have solid size, experience, and could definitely thrive under ASmith. Guys like Bell, Davis, and Montgomery are more wildcards with potential but would have us all worried to an extent I would think going into 2021 as the presumed starter. Any mentioned above though could compete for a starting role with a drafted RB. RBs possibly available from Rd4-6 (with solid backup potential): Trey Sermon Chubba Hubbard Rhamondre Stevenson Kenneth Gainwell Kylin Hill Khalil Herbert Larry Rountree Demetric Felton Most of us love the thought of Sermon in the 4th if he's there and understandably so, but there are plenty of options on day 3 likely. Hubbard could fall and be a more speedy backup while battling for a starting role. Gainwell is a solid dual threat guy. Stevenson could fight for a starting role as a bruiser. The rest have solid potential and could also vouch for early reps. Plenty of guys left off this list as well that are in the same boat. Again, the idea if drafting two RBs is a solid idea and might be the way we go however, in this scenario, who would yall like as a vet signing and later Rd guy? My dream scenario: Sign Gus Edwards or Marlon Mack and have them compete with Sermon, Hubbard, or Gainwell to go along with Ito. Then we can use the 2nd Rd pick on Richie Smith, Ronnie Perkins, CB, etc. Edited February 20, 2021 by Foo Falcons wnyfalconfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons_time_is_now Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Gus Edwards.....If Falcons are going to spend money on a free agent RB.....He is the guy that wont demand a huge amount of money and can deliver that knockout punch on all 3 downs. He was the main reason the Ravens moved Mark Ingram out the rotation. Hokies&Falcons, Foo Falcons, JohnnyFranchise and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a possibility as well no doubt. I think Edwards and Mack can be signed for the same amount though in which case they definitely have more upside IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-train Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 For f**ks sake, people... do your freaking homework. This is like the 100th thread I've seen in the last week suggesting we get Gus Edwards.The dude is a RFA. Baltimore has cap space to work with & will almost certainly place a 1st or 2nd round tender on Edwards. That means that the Falcons would have to offer Edwards a reasonable deal, which the Ravens would have the right to match.... and if they decide not to match the offer and thus allow the Falcons to sign Edwards, Atlanta would have to pay him AND give Baltimore their 2022 1st or 2nd round pick, depending on the tender Baltimore places on him. We re not signing Gus Edwards. Herr Doktor, Malachore, PriMeTiiMe and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched any of kylin Hill up to this point but hes got a similar build I believe. Id like a speed guy thrown in there somewhere but its not a necessity I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked him up in Fantasy last year so I know he was more than serviceable for them throughout the year. Id like a little more trust in the starting RB a la Marlon Mack or Chris Carson but then again they have the injury concerns.. hes likely a little cheaper than them probably which would help as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this team truly wants to compete next year, then spend the draft capitol to do it. The easiest way to see tangible improvement in 2021 is a good running attack. Feature back must be drafted this year. Mister pudding and EpicBird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Falcon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I actually think your best to worst list is spot on except I’d have Mike Davis over Bell just because I think he has more upside at this point ATLskinjob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
