Completely agree. McVay likes interchangeable pieces. But we either need a sledgehammer RB, or....
as I've said on other posts,
...isn't this exactly what "bigger backs" are known for? So why dump Kyren if we draft an RB high? Any one of the bigger faster backs in this loaded RB draft would be an amazing pair with KW. You run the big fast guy in the first half, jump out to a lead, then grind them down with KW. Ballgame. And it keeps the big fast guy fresh for a deep run thru the playoffs, unlike how we over-used Gurley, his knee gave out, and we had to get CJ off the scrap heap just to make it as far as we did.
To illustrate my point: What if McVay had KW during the Gurley years? This is exactly what he'd do, and KW would still chew up lots of yards after Gurley blew up the scoreboard. After chasing Gurley for a half, you're exhausted & just can't catch that shifty KW. Gurley would've lasted longer, and, well....
...anyway, I hope you see my point. I'm really hoping that we *still* get another RB in this draft, either a high pick, or Tuten or another faster RB later.
