Why I was disappointed we didn't take an RB in the draft. Everyone was like were deep at RB no issues. Miles is hurt every year with some kind of soft tissue injury.
game scripts and usage aside, i think we were deep last year in what this team expects from the RB room. add to that Hurts' running ability and not drafting a RB was correct imo. you mentioned Howard earlier, I agree with that take and was also hoping they re-sign him or we find another guy like him, a bigger bruiser, and now we got one. I never watched Sermon play, but size wise he's a Howard clone and he's still a young prospect so very optimistic here. It's not like we ever used a RB as a workhorse even when Miles was healthy anyway, which obviously wasn't often. Between Hurts and Smith there's enough young ego here to drown out whatever chip Sermon has on his shoulders too, I think. On paper this is a great match, swipe right. Or left, I actually dunno how that works.
