Running Backs are the team’s biggest strength with James Robbinson’s physical presence in the backfield. If second-year QB Trevor Lawrence‘s passing improves, then the team can be a serious threat in the division. The team also drafted Travon Walker, a cornerback from Georgia Bulldogs as the overall number one pick in order to strengthen their defense. The rest of the roster is below average in every position.
