    With the release of Dalyn Dawkins, our depth chart at RB is:

    1. Derrick Henry
    2. Darrynton Evans
    3. ....

    Our camp roster includes names like Marcus Marshall, Senorise Perry, and Cameron Scarlett, but those are all just camp bodies. I wouldn't expect any of them to actually make the team.

    We really need to identify someone to be a solid backup in case something happened to Henry, and not put every thing on Evans.

    The FA market is barren - Devota Freeman is the only name worth anything, and he had no juice last year.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see us try to flip a late round pick for someone more interesting. Here's my short list:
    • Royce Freeman - Denver
    • Bo Scarborough - Detroit
    • Gus Edwards - Baltimore
    • Mike Boone - Minnesota
    The other option is to just wait and see who gets cut. There will surely be some guys out on the street, but going that route means we have to wait until the season is about to start to find a 3rd back.

    Henry won't get hurt. No need for a 3.

    What if Evans keeps fumbling?

    I've never needed to use auto insurance either, but that doesn't mean it's not a good thing to have.

    Apparently Marcus Marshall is the guy we replaced Dawkins with... alrighty then. Really hoping we never have to use him.

    Evans is our new Dion Lewis. Would be nice to get a good running back so Henry not as worn out by the end of the season. Also good to get a backup cus we signed Henry long term and not many bell cow backs can handle the work load for consecutive seasons.
