Ashton Jeanty 5'8"

If Mason Graham is sitting there, I'm taking him.

That would be a no-brainer.......for most teams anyway. Jerry likes his splash offensive players. I'm pretty sure we are taking Jeanty or a WR.

we need a Black Ops team to sneak in and tie up and gag Little and Big Enos and stash them in a closet until the draft is over.

Your probably right

 

[TNCowboy]

We should have 10 picks this year. We're projected to have 4 comp picks

Yes, but you aren't really filling holes with late 5th rounders, other than sheer luck.

Yes, but you aren't really filling holes with late 5th rounders, other than sheer luck.

You can still hit in the 5th.

As I've said before, it isn't about what round you pick in. Your evaluation is what counts.

I hear you, though.

Nailed it. Taking a RB at 12 is not a good pick. Build the D and O-lines.

While getting 1,000 yards rushing in a season isn't what it once was, only half of the teams last year had a 1,000 yard rusher. I would also note that some here who were upset that Pollard was let go in favor of Dowdle should note Pollard and Dowdle had the exact number of rushing yards, with Dowdle having a 4.6 ypc vs Pollard's 4.2. Not dissing Pollard, you understand, just that neither was head and shoulders over the other.

And with Guyton's struggles, etc., not to mention our beloved Zack not as good as he's been in his prime, that would also indicate that with an improved line Dowdle could very well prove to be a top-10 back next year.

Agree with building the lines first, there will be a couple of very good college backs available in the second round, per most draft ratings I've seen, so it's not like Jeanty is the only back in the draft next year, if someone grabs him before Dallas all is not lost...

Very few players later than the fourth become good starters. another reason I was pissed with Jethro two years in a row dumping a fourth

 

[Floatyworm]

can anyone give an assessment on Jeanty's pass blocking?

He's ok.....He's capable.....and willing. Lack of size....is a question coming up to this level. I don't think he will get steamrolled like Deuce Vaughn.

actually he should be pretty good; he is of good weight and strength and being short gives you an edge taking on a bigger player. You go low and can take him down; or get him off his feet. Emmitt was little bigger than Jeanty and did all right

 

[Creeper]

Its not the height. If he is 5'8", 215 lbs and runs a 4.4 he has enough size to succeed in the NFL. His body looks proportional so I see no reason he can't be successful in the NFL.

I am really curious to see him run the 40 at the combine. I don't care what GPS measurement show.

At this point I am not willing to draft him a 12, but if he blows me away with his 40 time, I might change my mind. Then again if that happens he won't make it to 12.

Where is the evidence of that happening?

 

[gtb1943]

Where is the evidence of that happening?

its called the law of physics when a 250 lb guy at full speed hits a 175 pound guy standing there

So there is no evidence. Got it.

hey you want to play fantasy football go right ahead

 

[dacopacabana]

What was the size of DL and LB then compared to now?

Yeah, exactly

Im not taking Jeanty at 12

Not because if size but position and competition

lol. Competition? So you would have passed on Larry Allen?

 

[visionary]

LOL, did he play RB?

Dude, at any position I can name dozens of guys who didn’t go to a premier college.

The player Jeanty is being compared to is Tomlinson. Tomlinson went to TCU.

 

[AbeBeta]

I don't think that is the point, dude.

For any list that you provide, the list from premiere colleges at that position will exceed it by an order of magnitude (you can look that up if you don't know what it means).

FF? This is about what you basically claimed but can't back up. In the limited time he got last year he stoned a couple of guys. I wish there were a video for it.
