Loaded or crowded backfield, especially if Weber returns. I wonder how rotations(and obvious redshirts) will play out next year, because I can only imagine that from here on on out our identity is more of the run first approach
If I were a betting man I'd say Weber leaves. And should imo. Running backs should leave unless they think an extra year will drastically improve their draft stock since the wear and tear on your body isn't worth a slight uptick in the following year's draft. I see him as a 5th round guy currently, maybe 4th if he finishes like he's ran the past two weeks. I don't see much improvement from that, especially with Dobbins being a more studly sophomore.
Uhh, duh. The premise is that he won't go from 4/5th round pick to 2nd/3rd round pick (lol at 1st round). He'll still be behind Dobbins, and you improve more from your 1st to 2nd year more than your 3rd to 4th year. So the talent gap between the two should be even greater.
Yeah, Greg Oden should've returned to school to get better too... So should've Jalin Marshall and Carlos Hyde... Injuries happen, don't get injured for free when you have the opportunity to get paid. He ain't going to be a 1st or even 2nd round pick by staying anotber year. Like @UpNorth_Buckeye stated, next year he'll still be Behind Dobbins, and that still won't garner him to go up draft boards when he's 2nd string for yet another year
Yeah and him being 2nd string to a true Soph for another won't get much... And that's what would happen on his return. This ain't Cadillac and Ronnie Brown type of offense, Dobbins is the clear #1, backups don't go high in NFL drafts regardless of that game
You can Add Snead in that discussion too. Because he's quiet and has been committed for so long, he's sometimes and after thought. The 2018 RB class is definitely one of the best
