I'm pretty convinced about that at this point, though my mind could change.
Based on some things that Kubiak has said, and how this team has acted in the past I don't see us escaping the first day without the second half of our RB duo in place.
-Kubiak says that he was pleasantly surprised that Slaton held up for as many games as he did and that he doesn't believe that Steve can be counted on to have that kind of iron man season every year.
-Kubes says he needs another starting caliber back
-Supposedly, Kubes wanted to trade up for Deangelo Williams the year we got Demeco
-We have not signed any veteran RB's in free agency
-Most other position have somewhat reliable depth
-Our biggest off-season additions so far have come on the defensive side of the ball; They said they wanted to improve that area of the defense and the first thing they did was fire the coach. They may feel like that alone makes us a much better unit. Greenwood and Weaver are no longer here. Assuming Antonio Smith is alive he should be better than Weaver, and Adibi as a rookie helped spark our defense more than Greenwood did in his entire tenure.
If we roll into the draft as is, I don't see our front office not placing another RB as a priority considering how much importance we've placed on that position in the past and our lack of reliable threats currently on the roster. Of course my mind changes all the time, but right now this is what I'm currently feeling. Thoughts ?
