DMD Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not sure what to think. Only a one-year deal. Drake still the starter but this might make MIA not take n early RB in the draft. Or this just like 2016 when they signed Arian Foster and it did not mean much? Gore is 35 and in obvious decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is there to think. Miami's management sucks. They brought Osweiler in for a visit for christ sakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'll take a flyer on him in the 8th+ rounds, everyone will probably still be high on Drake (as they should be). Gore seems to prove us all wrong every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Speak for yourself. Great guy, great talent, but his 50 yds/game ish is something I never will chase in a draft, or free agency for that matter. Course knowing Ballard he'll wait till the 5th round to draft a RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Anderson, DeMarco Murray, Tevin Coleman, Marshawn Lynch, Theo Riddick, Tarik Cohen, etc. I'd be happy taking a shot at any of the above names in the 8th+ round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Love the Drake. He looked great last year. Damien Williams is gone. Frank Gore is an old man who Drake will outplay on the field. Drake is a 5th round fantasy pick with tier 1 potential. The one reason Gore might get significant playing time is that Miami might have a rookie quarterback playing and they'll want Gore pass protecting for the kid. Drake has had pass protection issues.

In flex leagues, he'll go in the 3rd or 4th round because running back whores will be willing to take him as their 3rd running back. In non-flex leagues, he'll sometimes drop to the 5th round unless he gets a lot of fanfare in the preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look where Miller and Crowell were going last year. I could absolutely see him going in the 4th/5th in standard though. Down the stretch there weren't many backs better than Drake. He'll have the reigns to start the season, but we'll see if he has the gas like.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) According to PFF, Gore had the second best season of his career last year. He maybe has some juice left in the tank and his poor numbers might have been entirely the fault of the Colts' offensive line. Gore is great at pass protection. Nothing is a more important trait for a running back getting on the field in today's NFL than being a good pass protector. Pass protection is even more important for a Miami running back because they have a horrible offensive line and will have either a rookie or a fragile veteran at quarterback. If Kenyan's pass protection issues continue, playing 50% of snaps is possibly the most he can expect as long as Gore is healthy.
