Mendenhall

RB2 upside? Over/under on 1000yds rushing / 8tds? I am going over.

Those numbers are about right. Nobody wants to touch the guy though. I've landed him everywhere, and can't move him anywhere. It's weird.

He is 25. Healed. In a good situation with a coach who sounds like he is willing to hand him the keys. Box will not be stacked.....Ryan Williams going to take the job from him? RBBC ? IDK - 70/30 Mendy/Williams?

They also drafted two RB's in the draft, not that I like either of them, but it also shows they don't think he is their long term answer.

I'm going under for sure. More like RB3 at best IMO.

1-year 'prove it' contract as well. And this can't hurt:

"Backs by committee, one of them gets hurt you've lost half your committee or a third of your committee," Arians said. "I like guys who can play every down."

Or this:

One NFL front office man told the National Football Post that Rashard Mendenhall is "physically superior than any running back available in the draft."

It's all about value. He's got a 9th round ADP. I don't think he's going to blow up...but it's going to be hard for him not to produce RB2 numbers if healthy as a three-down back with a coach who likes him a lot and likes to go with a workhorse

Also...he's on a one-year deal. So he might end up somewhere else next year, and if he plays well this year and lands in a better situation...

Good call..

Andre Ellington is the only back on that team that can create on his own... Look for him to win that starting job by mid-season.

Plus, Arians is not what you would call "RB friendly." His RBs mostly block on passing plays.

Whoa you all are very generous to Mr, Mendy... 850 and 6 TDs is what I see. They're still the Cards, and he's not superbly talented.

Agreed

c'mon now...he's a sixth-round pick and Mendy is going to be playing with his old coach. Is sub-200 lb. Ellington going grasp all the concepts and be able to pick up a blitzing LB, along with being a workhorse back? Mendy is going to have to suck pretty bad to lose this job. Ellington will be returning kicks.

Again...9th-round ADP for Mendy. He's going after Bernard Pierce. Value...

Howdy, Stranger!
