I know Broaddus likes him, I remember him talking about him in November.

Fits the mold of a more physical downhill runner to pair with TP.

Great mid round option IMO.

I think he could be had in the 4th round in this class. Id even consider moving up in the round to get him. I think he could be like Damien Harris as a grind it out back with + GL production

I like Tank but I worry that the Jones are getting too specific here with their TB wants/needs. They keep talking about "big back".

If we get to the middle rounds and we are TB hunting, I hope they take the best TB and not pigeon hole themselves into taking a "big back" because they think they need to replace Elliott to pair with Pollard. In other words, if the scouts say Spears is a better TB than Bigsby but they take Bigsby because he's a "big back", that would be silly IMO.

Yeah, I actually think this is how these morons are approaching it. They want to re-create that legendary Barber/Felix Jones duo. They took Felix to compliment Barber. We have war room footage to prove it. They chose him over Rashard Mendenhall because of how he fit with Barber.

It's all kinds of dumb to approach it that way. Take the best player.

I'm expecting a running back taken somewhere within the top 3 rounds. At 90, probably get the pick of the litter with all those 3rd tier backs, think:

1-Robinson/Gibbs
2-Charbonnet, Achane
3-we start to see the run of the 3rd tier
4-Value will be there, but some they like could be off the board.

I would rather have Zack Charbonnet in the 2nd round. If not him then target the Pitt RB. The last Pitt RB we had got into the Hall of Fame.
Round 4.

We have Pollard and a guy who won a Super Bowl starting. Plus Malik Davis..

Why so much on a RB?

Zierlein on Bigsby....

Bigsby is an upright runner with a strong, angular frame. He runs with plus burst and can create yards even when the blocking is insufficient. Bigsby runs with a nice blend of elusiveness and power, and he can quickly process movements of the defense. Fumbling has been a concern in the past, and he might not be much help on third downs or special teams. His size, creativity and quickness could create an opportunity for teams to pair Bigsby with another back to form an effective tandem in a zone-scheme rushing attack.

The two nitwits are already using the term "big back", so I expect to see during the draft, them taking a big back when there were other, better backs still on the board.

Because not all RBs are created equal. Just like any other position there are tiers of talent. Zach Charbonnet is easily the 3rd best RB in this draft. And I would have no problem taking Gibbs at 26. I would crawl over broken glass to get Bijan Robinson over any of them.

I agree this is what I see but no specific order with the first 5 picks:

OL
TE
RB
WR
DT

I don't know the order but feel these will probably be the picks

I agree but whoever we take needs to be able to pass pro…

I love Achane and Mitchell but want zero part of them as an every down back in life after TP.

And I want guys who can make plays to win the playoff games we keep losing.
