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.
This and they also telegraph what they’re going to do so a team can trade up in front of to take him (ala Goedert)

These 2 are complete buffoons, I can bet you the other NFL execs laugh at these 2 behind their back

He mentions it at the end of the video.

Tank Bigsby out of Auburn.


I hope that they get Robinson or Miller, or Spears, or Israel A. from Pitt. If Robinson is there at 26 take him, if he is gone take a back at 90 or 129.

Sounds like a classic backup RB that has all the good traits but doesn't have elite explosiveness or speed. Not sure how he functions as a powerback but it is what he was known for.

Think CB is going to be more of a priority then TE, WR, DT. They have talked to more corners then any other positional group.

Yessss. Tank Bigsby gang.

I see him as a guy whose ceiling and floor are touching. He's basically the most middle of the road athlete ever and has no passing game chops, so there is no upside to speak of.



But there's no way he's going to suck either. He checks all the measurables boxes even if he doesn't blow them away, he's got good college production in the SEC, and he's got a smart, singles-hitter kind of playstyle that will translate. Dude is just going to make more inside jump-cuts for 4 yards in the pros.

We want a zone power-runner committee back to pair with Pollard, and Bigsby pretty much has "zone power-runner committee back" stitched on his jersey, so I'd say he's a perfect fit. He'd play day one for the Cowboys and probably get 200 carries.

Tank Bigsby definitely looks like whom the Cowboys would like to pair with Tony Pollard.



Bigsby is definitely a ground and pound type of RB...



The downside to Bigsby is he is slow and gets shut down by quicker and more powerful defenses...

The Pitt RB is special. Charbonnett has a nose for the endzone and can get tough yards. Tank Bigsby is neck and neck with Abanikanda except doesn't have the elite speed. In the end, I want the Pitt rb.

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.
Mendenhall and his career 4200 yards? Guess he is a little bit better. But both were trash. I get what ur sayin but using mendenhall as a sticking point was funny.

Is Tank actually "big" - everything I've seen of him, he just looks like another Pollard type runner. Just looks like another shifty back.

Greatest post of your life I don't see why there's that need as well, just get guys that can make plays! Zeke is Zeke, you want a big guy get a damn full back
