What happens if Kubiak truly has a two running back situation or the backup gets more work than we think he will for the Raiders? Mike Washington. They spent the pick on Mike Washington, athletic freak. I don't know if he's that good of a running back. But if someone's going to get something out of that, I think Coobes could do it. So let's find out in the last round. And Al Borland is neglecting to make the final pick to complete the draft. Don't worry about it, man. All right, I... Give some concluding thoughts, Alvin Camero, with the final pick of the draft. Oh, dear goodness. We've been doing this a long time. I ended up with Gibbs, Judkins, and Mason at running back, and I don't like it. That's not enough with Judkins' injury. In hindsight, I probably would have taken a shot. I would have taken Price again in the next round if Brooks didn't take him. But, you know, Gibbs is going to do a lot of the heavy lifting there. Nico Adunze, Pierce, Harrison, Conception, and Golden, probably the strength.

Went with the onesie of McBride and Caleb Williams at quarterback. I've got my three studs at running back, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry, Trevion Henderson, and Jonathan Brooks behind them. My wide receivers, Rushie Rice, Carnell Tate, Michael Pittman, Cuge, and Wondale with Jalen Hertz at quarterback and Mark Andrews at tight end. I got Devon Ait H.N. Kenneth Walker, J.K. Dobbins, Rashad White, Mike Washington. I'm running backs. Garrett Wilson, Emeka, Abuka, Luther Burden. Jalen Coker at the wide out position. Burroughs my quarterback. Sam Laporta is my tight end. Looking at the draft, I mean, I love Burrow. I love the value of the sixth round, but imagining my team with like Chuba right there or even just a disgusting David Montgomery pick coming back with J.K. Dobbins. Would it felt better. I think we learned that this draft. Yeah. That running back's thin out and make you feel gross. Yeah.

Because I definitely... We could get more clarity as time goes on and training camp is going. I mean, I would much... I'll just say this. I'd much rather... I mean, McBride is a difference maker at the position. But Loveland went way later, right? And Fanon and Warren went way after that. And I could have had Derek Henry. I could have had Derek Henry. That was the pick I was thinking about long and hard at 302. Gibbs and Henry with Judkins feels great. And picking up a Warren. in the fifth round, you know, that's a tough trade. So, yeah, I agree. You know, first time going through the draft and seeing the running back position feel that swiftly with a lack of confidence. It is funny because in the middle of the draft, there were a lot of names. I still like that running back. So those middle rounds, you know, you had Bucky falling and Javante falling and Tutin's opportunity, even later Montgomery. But there is a...
