Watching this video and Derrick Henry makes me believe that sometimes drafting a RB early is justifiable. Context helps, of course but if a RB can change a game like these guys and there is nobody quite as impactful available I am onboard with taking a RB early. Yes, I realize that good RBs can be found anywhere, still doesn’t make me change my mind though.

I agree. It is worth it…if you get a guy like that. There aren’t many of them, though.

But imagine this offense with prime Gurley or Jackson. Or Faulk, Bettis, or Dickerson.

Losing Akers was big. I don’t know if he would have been on that level, but he was showing some real promise.

I don’t think Akers is Dickerson, Faulk, Jackson, Gurley level.

But I do think he was very good and if he can come back from this injury will be very good still. I said before that I can easily see him on a top 10 best Rams backs of all time list. He actually is that good IMO. He has the toughness and contact balance of the other Rams backs in 2021 but he has superb movement and lateral quickness in traffic. Henderson and Michel will gain yards and they’re good but Akers always had the chance to make plays out of nothing and to have a break out play when there’s nothing there. I really do believe this offense, as good as it is already, would be at another level with a healthy Akers.
