It might not happen but think of the possibilities: Tahj Brooks

It looks bad but hear me out. He was a Day 3 pick last and didn’t see the field at a lot last year BUT….

-Great College production at TT, over 4,500 rushing in 5 years.

-Bengals didn’t add anyone to the backfield in the draft/FA. It’s pretty much Brown, Perine, and Brooks (I understand that Perine is a larger roadblock compared to other vet RBs but he’s not getting any older)

-Does Cincy resign Brown? Bengals have so much cap tied up in Chase/Higgins/Burrow there’s no way they will pay Chase Brown what he is owed in today’s NFL.

He’ll be 24, he’s a good athlete, 8.82 RAS. Kinda shocking with that stat line he wasn’t more highly regarding coming out but oh well. Not sure what the deal was with him not being on the field a lot last season but there’s a lot to be had.

These guys all have some intriguing values with plus situations. Who could prevail out of the 4?

Keaton Mitchell- Chargers signed him FA, should be the lightning to Hampton's thunder. We know McDaniels loves a guy who offers speed to the offense. We have seen him look elite/special when given the ball (that MNF game against SF a few years ago). My only concern is that Vidal is still there and Harbaugh may want a RBBC behind Hampton.

Woody Marks- He's a quiet winner of the draft. Texans didn't add anyone else to the room other than Monty, and the OLine should be much better than last season's. Really curious to see how the team approaches offense with how bad Stroud played at the end of the season and in the playoffs. Monty doesn't have a crazy high ceiling as some assumed after they traded for him. I think there is still plenty on the table for Marks to take.

Tyrone Tracy- Kind of the same story as Marks, Tracy's skillset is a little more desirable, although his ceiling isn't very high with Skatt there. Much like the story of every RB on the list, they didn't add any competition in the backfield, so they must feel confident in the two guys they have. Is he going to take over the Justice Hill role and eat in the 2-minute offense?

Isiah Pacheco- He is the one I am least likely to move, as he is the handcuff to Gibbs. He should have a decent floor if he is in the Montgomery role with a much better O-Line from last year. He is two years removed from breaking his leg and comes in with a chip on his shoulder (they paid him virtually nothing). While it is possible we could see him finish Top 20 even with Gibbs ceiling, can he perform at the previous level we have seen him at?
