I like it. Rivers is a tough runner. A nice backup to spell Williams. They should have Williams on a pitch count during the season so he can be fresher in the playoffs. Yes, I do expect to make the playoffs.

 

[Memento]

Not surprised. He’s a guy I’ve liked since his rookie year. Doesn’t have the vision K-Will does, but Rivers is a tough runner who consistently falls forward and won’t hurt you in pass protection.

 

[Allen2McVay]

I believe Austin Trammell was the only other Exclusive Rights Free Agent on the roster.

 

[Jacobarch]

Dude had some pop in his step when he came back into the lineup. I didn't like him as much as Freeman as a pure runner but he's definitely a good No2. placeholder for now.

 

[Ramstien]

I am interested to see the competition between him and Zack Evans.

 

[oldnotdead]

I'm not surprised. He's the kind of backup RB you want in a move the chains possession type of offense. I still think they draft a RB to be #2.

 

[OntarioRam]

He ran very hard and showed good burst in the playoffs vs. Detroit when Williams was in and out of the game. I was a bit surprised by that, as for a RB of his size, his burst has always been a bit lacking to my eye. Similar to Williams in that respect.

Glad to have him back and on the roster. I still view Rivers as more of a useful RB3 than a true RB2. If the Rams don't trust Evans in the RB2 role going into the 2024-25 season, then perhaps they draft someone. But again, glad to have Rivers back. With how much of a beating RBs take, you need 3 capable RBs at a minimum. Injuries are inevitable at the RB position. Rest assured your RB3 will frequently get bumped up the depth chart.

Ditto.

My view as well, solid number 3 RB role player. IMO this draft we need to pick up a young difference maker at RB2 to at times take over RB1.

I really like this signing.....no brainer to me.
There is a reason he became the primary backup during the year.
Shifty tough runner who massively improved his pass blocking.
I would not spend anymore FA on a RB, but, I would draft one.

Esteme R3.98, Davis R5 or other?

Haven't looked into the RB class really.
5th round is about where I was thinking.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Esteme R3.98, Davis R5 or other?

I like Davis better of the two. I really like Hyatt too, but think he gets taken a bit earlier.

Free agent Dontae Foreman would be a good pickup as a backup, if they don’t get Rivers under contract. I prefer Foreman though.

 

[Londoner]

JW weighs 194 lbs. Estimé weighs 227 lbs.

Forget the 50 time; Estimé would be the perfect bowling ball to counter the balance and finesse of KW. Neither has breakaway speed, but so what?

Estimé at 98: make it so.

I've seen every snap Estime has taken in college and his speed is far better than his 40 time. I was fearful he'd blow up the combine and find himself in 1st/2nd round territory but now he should be there 3rd/4th
He'd be the perfect compliment to Williams, in fact already has been.....

 

[OldSchool]

Ray Davis and Jaylen Wright are two more I'll add to the list that I think would be great compliments to KW. Love Trey Benson too have all year but I think he goes in the 2nd not sure we take a back that early. Could see 3rd or 4th if we acquire a 4th that is.

Yeah & Kyren Williams isn’t a TOP RB who isn’t a STARTER that can’t get you Big Gaines & is SLOW!!

That will NEVER get OLD !! LMFAO

—do agree another RB ,if nothing else for special teams in the later part of the Draft.

My concerns are when Williams went down ,Rivers was right behind him. Just saying from last season.
