The other piece of the remade Detroit backfield, Montgomery comes to the Lions to fill the Jamal Williams "thunder" role. Entering his 5th NFL season, Montgomery has proved to be a solid, if unspectacular back in the NFL. He's been durable, and incredibly consistent, putting up 1,000 total yards and at least seven touchdowns in each of his first four seasons. While his career rushing average leaves much to be desired, he's running behind the best line of his career, and won't have to carry the load with the presence of Gibbs. While this backfield will be an annoying committee at times, there is a TON of value to be had with Montgomery, and even if he sees a dip in total touches, he won't have those short yardage touchdowns vulture by his quarterback. While Gibbs is going to get the hype and attention, I think Montgomery can be an absolute steal, and a solid RB2 in multiple formats that you can add later in the draft.
