I like what this 3rd yr back
Malcolm Brown (5-11/227) adds to this backfield. Like
Todd Gurley his 2016 is forgettable. Brown has some serious questions to answer about on if he can be a reserve behind Gurley if something was to happen. Brown has flashed an ability to rumble down the sideline in the passing game. This talent should be developed in this offense IMO. But if Brown does not improve his running he may face some playing time competition from an McVay drafted FB
Sam Rogers ( 5-10/235) who enters the NFL stage with a outstanding college resume. Sam can run, catch & return too. Not much difference in the size between Brown & Rogers.
I never saw any real upside to the signing of
Lance Dunbar & thought the 1.5 mil cap cost could be filled by a economy UDFA rookie. Never thought much of his cameo appearances with Dallas over the last 5 yrs.His injury history is concerning since he has yet to start a game or see more than 30 attempts in any of his 5 seasons. Dunbar has terrible knee injury suffered on Thanksgiving 2013.
That knee injury had a torn PCL ligament & associated damage. About the time he was back to full speed...Early in th 2015 season Dunbar has surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, also suffered a partial tear to Dunbar's medial collateral ligament. That bad 2015 injury remained unhealthy for most all the 2016 season when Dunbar only had 9 attempts. It should be no surprise that Dunbar starts his Ram season on the PUP list.

But I happen to think that Dunbar's planned backfield role could be handled by a more dynamic offensive weapon named
Tavon Austin there's only about 5 pounds difference in weight & they are both 5-8 inches tall.
Other RB's I would love to hear about are
Justin Davis (6-1/200) &
Lenard Tilley (5-10/200) but there's also
Aaron Green (5-11/206) &
De'Mard Llorens (5-8/196) too all smallish type backs.
