I'm trying to get a handle on some of the running backs that will be available in the later parts of the second round and there doesn't seem to be any recent discussion about Justin Forsett. He came out of nowhere to post 1,500 total yards and 8 TDs last year.
The big negatives seem to be:
The big negatives seem to be:
- Kubiak is now out of the picture
- Forsett broke out really late in his career and there are very few (if any) historically comparable running backs that were able to sustain a significant level of success after such a long period of mediocrity
- He's on the wrong side of 30.
- Potential competition from Taliafero & the rookie Allen
- the Ravens might not have the WRs to keep the opposing defenses honest
- The Ravens still have a top tier offensive line
- Mark Trestman has a well documented history of featuring his lead running back extensively in the passing game. If he stays healthy, he appears to be a good bet to improve upon his 44 receptions from last year.
- The Ravens signed Forsett to an extension in the off-season
- Forsett shouldnt have much wear and tear on his body due to his limited workload to date.
