Could also be that they won’t pay market rate for a RB. However rumor was that they offered EJ over $1mm so again very difficult to square wtf is going on.

I think they should have gotten another RB and I don't fully believe this, but I think gambling on organic growth and/or freshman at the RB position isn't a horrible idea.
EJ wasn't a "feature back" until the end of last season and even after that there were still questions when Dowdell went to Kentucky as to whether EJ could carry the load for a season and he did that and more. So in some ways the "organic growth" just paid off
Also given that historically younger guys can contribute at RB, it is possible they end up fine.
Now I don't know how the money piece factors in if they just didn't like the numbers they dudes they would have gone after were asking for or if they thought more money to OL made sense vs. another RB, or if it wasn't a factor at all.
Again, I don't really believe in that plan makes a ton of sense, but I can see the rationale
