It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yes, some of them have worked out quite well over the years and some have been dismal failures. I'd like to see a talented rookie for a change, but as that position is not prioritized by the Patriots I guess it doesn't matter.
When you can pick guys like Alvin Kamara in the 3rd round for literally pennies on the dollar, why bother with veterans?
This might be a decent pickup, only a year removed from a big year and he’s just 30.

Let’s bring back Steven Jackson as well.
Looks slow now
First bolster our OL then think about RB additions. I'm fine with White, Gillislee and Burkhead of course. Some additional help from draft will be welcome as well. I am not sure of Murray. He always played behind great Cowboys and Titans OL. Not questioning his skillls and abilities but I am following the idea of taking someone younger and cheaper. This year and next will be crucial in the context of our key players and their contracts. That is way save the money - it will be needed.
Michel and Chubb have high fumble rates and Johnson has dealt with injuries. Out of the three, I’d take Michel. I think he’d be a beast in this offense.I’ll take Sony Michel, Nick Chubb, or even the Auburn kid please.
Pass on Murray. Too expensive, not worth the injury risk.
What "injury risk"? Over the past five seasons, he's missed a total of six games to injury. The knee injury that benched him for the end of 2017 was an MCL, not ACL.
Also, it may be possible to sign him for somewhere between Chris Ivory's new deal with the Bills (2 years, $3M APY) and White's extension with the Pats from 2017 (3 years $4M APY).
The only real question is how he'd work out within the RBBC approach instead of being a traditional "lead RB."
Agreed, there are reasons to pass on Murray but injury risk isn't really among them.
