they'd like to be able to go into a wildcat offense in the 3rd quarter when they're winning by 8 TDs

I whole heartedly believe their running backs would be fringe roster guys on almost any team. Their run game is so well schemed and their oline is amazing.

Ravens just dropped a bag on Lamar's head. He's not playing anywhere else and he's playing there for a long time. Ownership is gonna want to maximize how long they're going to be good under him rather than go all in. Cap situation is already gonna be wonky, they'll need the picks to minimize how much they're paying not-QB to be in Baltimore.

Mitchell is still unproven and has started the year pretty injured. So he's a wild card at best.

Gus, statistically, is having a below average year. That could either be wear and tear on him or our new OC doesn't run the ball and scheme up elite running plays like Roman did. Roman may have been a terrorist for the passing game but he was a savant for the run game.

Hill isn't a premier back and despite a few nice runs, isn't anything special. A nice depth piece.

Our running game is also propped up by Lamar running the ball. We've always had him be a high percentage of our run but you typically don't see 30% of your rushing yards in your QB.

Adding in a premier back such as Henry takes a ton of pressure off our pass game and it allows our RB's more depth and less touches leading to fresher backs. Gus is great for our team but no one is sitting here saying that Gus is in the same category as Henry. (Minus yards per attempt).

I mean the king on the ravens immediately makes them Super Bowl locks

Before Keaton showed the world how much of a beast he is, our rb depth was looking putrid. If Gus went down, we'd be relying on Hill, who let's just say isn't a fan favorite at this point of the year

Need? No

Want? Yes

Mostly just for depth considering after Dobbins injury Gus Edwards is our last proven RB

Though if Keaton Mitchell is for real that will help a lot
