Jaydon Blue draft grade?

[Hawkeye0202]

LOL.....I'm no draft guru by a long shot but I just happened to come across this kid. One simple question: Why aren't we hearing more about him? Man, he's explosive and nice size. Some say he's a day-2 pick but I can't find him on any draft prospect listings ( Dana or PFF ). Why is that?

His stats..........what happened? Why was he barely used?

Hardline thinks he should go No. 1 overall.

 

[cnuball21]

Probably 4/5ty rounder.

Big fan, one of the few in the class with big time juice.

Why such little production?

Talented player with alot of tread left. Probably not an every down back though.

He could go day 2 based on pure talent, but I think he is more a day 3 guy. He is there with Skattebo, and Sanders as guys Id love to take on day 3 if we double dip

Good players ahead of him. His NFL.com write did mention a lack of vision, fumble concerns and as pass pro, so there is that too. I never really noticed any of it when Ive seen him play

 

[darthseinfeld]

Why such little production?

14 TD's on that workload is pretty good though.

 

[Ironicalicon]

I'm too lazy to look at this very moment but I'm guessing his lack of production comes from sharing the backfield. I actually really like the idea of using a late pick on a RB who didn't get a lot of touches but was super productive when he did. The less wear, the better, to an extent.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Big fan. He shared that backfield with a lot of talent. Jonathon Brooks in 2023 and both Wisner and Gibson this season. A lot of meat still left on that bone.

Sounds like a 5th rounder would be idea

I think he’ll be a good 3rd down back that excels in the pass game, but not sure he’s going to be the #1 back getting 15+ carries a game.

Blue reminds of a guy like Ty Johnson in Buffalo. He’d be great value in the 5th if they let Rico walk and double up with 2 RB’s drafted.

Cause the RB class is so deep, he could be one of those backs still on the board when we are picking in the 5th rd cause of the depth.

[locked&loaded]

be interesting to see if he is under or over 200lbs.

 

[cnuball21]

That’s a great question…

 

[Hardline]

He shouldn't have entered the draft. I would rather have him play for the Longhorns one more year. His numbers are low because of RBs named Wisner,Brooks and Baxter.

I don't know his draft grade but I would gladly take him.

 

[TNCowboy]

Poor man's Henderson. He's a bit thin and fumbles a lot. He's not nearly as compact as pretty much every other back higher on the board. I have doubts he can be a lead back, looks to me like a change of pace guy.

If they took him, I'd want a FA like Dobbins or Chubb to be the starter, until Blue proved himself or not.
