I do not remember many CB's taking Henry down one on one. He is a weapon with our Oline, business decisions in defensive backfields will be made each week. He is not a favorite of mine but I can see his value. I would rather have Elliot but he will be picked after our first and before our 2nd IMO at this point in time before the combine.

Good. Stay away from Dallas

Henry is really impressive but he does run high and will allow contact.
At the collegiate level he shrugged that off much like other big backs... but the NFL is a different deal. Quicker guys are going to get to his legs and feet to trip him up and bigger duides are going to blast him if he doesn't get out of the way.

I don't dislike him at all but I wouldn;t take him before round 2.

I think he could be very successful in Dallas but so can 25 other backs. It isn;t hard to run behind this line and I'd never pay a premium to give someone that boon.
Someone will want to come here at a discount and build their resume as a back. Every FA back seems ot name drop Dallas for a reason.

FWIW, Henry may well have been the most physically impressive HS kid I've ever seen.
He was a good 235 in High School. Insane.
