| 0:00.0 | James says given Aaron Jones receiving ability and age as well as free age, it's over 30, |
| 0:11.1 | do you think that we should draft their replacements, uh, or just, do you mean just Aaron Jones |
| 0:17.4 | replacements, uh, this year? Or do you feel do you feel like the current depth is sufficient |
| 0:22.4 | or do you mean oh oh I'm sorry the other free agents too so Aaron Jones and the other free |
| 0:28.3 | agents should you draft their replacements with Aaron Jones I would say no because Jordan |
| 0:35.1 | Mason is pretty young and you can do it any year. |
| 0:44.1 | Running back is absolutely the position where you can draft and play right away the fastest. |
| 0:45.6 | It's not even close. |
| 0:49.1 | I think second place is maybe safety and then wide receiver, |
| 0:54.3 | but running back is far and away, the first position when this was looked at a few years ago by PFF, |

| 1:16.9 | replacements, but you can rotate. If you draft Walter Nolan or Derek Harmon, you can just play |
| 1:22.6 | him sometimes. You can play him 450 snaps. Look at Milton Williams and what he brought to the Philadelphia Eagles. |
| 1:29.4 | A 500 snap guy is not an insult. |
| 1:31.4 | Like that could be somebody who really helps in key situations as a pass rusher or Kenneth |
| 1:37.6 | Grant and run stuffing. |
| 1:39.8 | But in general, I always like to think a year or two down the road with every position. |
| 1:45.7 | That's why, I mean, safety is a now and later. |
| 1:48.4 | Malachi Sarks or Nick Eminwara could play right now or they could also take and they could |
