Also they like to mock us by usually putting the rare white running backs on teams with black quarterbacks.
McCaffrey - Purdy, Woodhead and Burkhead - Brady, also Gerhart when he was with the Vikings and Jags, I can't think of another White RB who was teamed with a Black QB.

Gotta remember too that Hurts was "hurt" part of last season, he isn't an ironman by any stretch, it may be Kenny Pickett getting the last laugh at some point.

Let's hope the Eagles don't move him into Blankenship's position.
They took Mitchell in the first round and already have Slay. Ourlads has him slotted as a nickel back currently.

On a positive note, the Chargers took McConkey and haven’t drafted another WR. He should get plenty of targets already in year 1.

Bears just traded back into the draft. Check out this profile

Pre-Draft Analysis​

Booker started only one game in college and didn't test as well as expected at the combine, but there are impressive flashes on tape. His length is one of his greatest assets, and it makes it tough for offensive linemen to get into his frame. As a pass-rusher, he shows explosive knock-back power and is smooth working inside when offensive linemen get caught on their heels. He doesn't have elite bend or burst but occasionally wins with speed off the edge. Booker has active hands and the ability to slip blocks, and he chases with good effort as a run-defender. He's lean but can shoot his hands and stack bigger blockers.

Lol, I was wondering if he might be White from the film they showed after he was picked, but there's never been a White player in history drafted with that type of "pre-draft analysis."

Meanwhile Logan Lee and Braiden McGregor - both proven guys are still out there.

Jones-Drew raving about Shipley again, calling him a "perfect fit" on the Eagles to pair with Barkley.

Raiders get LB Eichenberg. Never would have expected them to have one of the best drafts this year.

Audric Estime, 4.71 is being touted a punishing running back. A white RB with those numbers is going to FB/HB Ryan Nall 4.5 forty out of the NFL!

Again a black skill position player at a big school with pedestrian speed!

Raiders decide to keep their white QBs and white LT while drafting a new center/guard, draft the best TE to pair with Mayer, and now have Eichenberg on defense with Spillane and Crosby.

Saints draft a quota. Couldn't keep their QB room White could they?
The NFL Network was pounding the drums for Rattler to be taken. He'll now be one of the bigger stories coming out of the draft since he was "taken so late."
