I preferred either Murray or Lacy. As they complement Rawls and Prosise better.
Now go get Marcel Reece.
I have a feeling they will still bring in a back in the draft. Eddie Lacey will be situational
Definately. But 5.5m is kind of hefty for a situational player.
Also think none of the backs we retained are safe from competition.
I think the team loves Rawls but wants him to improve physically... Not necessarily more athletic but stronger, stouter, more flexible.
I believe Prosise would be better suited as WR-first/RB-second move player. Like a Golden Tate/Percy Harvin Hybrid. But one that is 6-0, 220 pounds.
If Collins ran like he did in college, Lacy would be redundant. It will be interesting to see how Collins responds as he is immediately in the bubble.
The draft is riddled with great backs. So giving 5.5m to Lacy is kind of frustrating. Plus, you still have McKissic, Pope, and Madden. With that said Lacy is probably the closest back to Lynch's ultra physical style we have a chance to get. If Lacy can stay fit under 225, and run like he did his first 2 seasons... he's going to earn that contract.
