I agree. How about a WR who can run through the line like Deebo?

Could Brashard Smith offer something similar? That is play slot WR but also take 5 or 6 handoffs a game. He is possibly the best special teams returner in this draft
We got a WR who runs thru tackles, his name is PUKA!

That’s low, but there are only four RBs in double digits in that category. Henry19, Barkley17, Gibbs13, and Taylor 11.

That’s an elite back stat and to get that the Rams will need a Gurley type of back. They don’t fall off of trees
I get that but 2 for the whole year? That's downright terrible. It shows we need more juice at that position big time.

I think they’d be sacrificing more than they gained. Unless you mean to pair Kyren with a speed back, but still, that speed back would have to be a very good RB

Just add another RB with juice no matter where the pick is. I'm also not opposed to adding a Judkins to our backfield. He's head and shoulders way more athletic than what we currently have at the position. If they go that route, I personally rather they do that and trade Kyren out or let him play his contract out if the return offers for him are shit. I'd rather not pay him long term as I don't think it would be a great investment. Those 2nd rlRB contracts are notoriously shitty. I would think an extension is only appropriate if it doesn't break the bank. My only concern with that is what does that say about Corum who in my opinion showed more burst than Kyren.

More burst but less wiggle and not the same level of vision.
