No clue. However, it seems that every year there are several UDFA's that are picked up and contribute at RB. Tony Jones, Jr for the Saints a couple of years ago, for example. And this year we got Abram Smith as a college free agent. I'd just rather see us use a late round pick on a proven vet than taking a draft flyer on a RB.

I’m predicting that depth at RB, TE, DT, and/or LB may be added after preseason final cuts. I’m guessing some players will stand out for other teams in our area(s) of need and be available.

We often forget the role the offensive line plays in a running back productivity. Yes there are the Kamaras, McCaffreys, Browns of the world who can manage to get something done regardless but Ingram is not in that company. A lot of people looked at Ingram's productivity in 2019 and did not realize that he was running behind arguably the two best players at their positions in the NFL (Yanda/Stanley).

Mark came home to retire and I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year.

Actually the Ravens let RB walk all the time check the position over the last years since Lamar has been at QB

We'll see how long Lamar's legs last him.

Only as long as any other RB.

Speaking of Lamar ... does Lamar Miller have anything left? Kick the tires again? He was good in his heyday.
