Top DL or CB/S in the 1st and Coleman or Ajayi in the 2nd.

Living in Boise and having season tix to BSU, here is my honest assessment of Ajayi: He has 3 down back strength, toughness and natural receiving skills. Contrary to other reports, he played behind a good offensive line, so his numbers (28 TDs) might be inflated. His two biggest weaknesses are fumble prone and bounces WAY too much outside. His biggest challenge on the pro level will be keeping it in the hole and taking the 4 yards. If he can do that, he is tough enough to get the "dirty" yards. He had big runs, but I would not put him in the Gordon-Abdullah-Coleman camp for game breaking speed. That being said, I put him in the Gurley-Yeldon-Allen camp for workhorse ability. If we don't go Gurley in first (or trade for AP), I would be fine with him or Yeldon in the 2nd or preferably a trade down to high 3rd. To make our offense work like last year, we need a dynamic and tough runner, so I would not wait beyond 3rd to take one.

Good info..............thanks.

A lot of things would have to go terribly wrong for this to happen. If he is the best player on our board at 27 I would hope for a trade back.

I agree. He is far down my list of RBs. He is better than what is on the roster though.

Coleman ran a 4.35 and a 4.4 forty this morning at his Pro Day.

So much for the ******** agenda post.................

Thanks for posting ABQ.

I wouldn't touch Ajayi with a ten foot pole before the middle/end of the 2nd round. Ajayi @ 27? :laugh:

No thanks and it ain't happening.

I would not be surprised if Ajayi is our pick at 27

By comparison, reaching for Morris Claiborne would look smart. Ajayi, in my opinion, is extremely average in every respect as a running back. His running style reminds me of Joseph Randle. I would be extremely dissappointed if the Cowboys draft Ajayi at any point in this draft, when you consider the much better options that are available. And I really wanted to like Ajayi being the hometown kid...

Surprised to see Scandrick there.

He always does Boise State dirty during Sunday Night Football intros and says his high school instead.

I think we trade back at 27 and pick up a second and a third. We use our first pick in the second on Ajayi. That is what I hope. I love Ajayi.

You better not drop too far down int he 2nd round. In fact, it would not bother me if Dallas traded back into the very late first round (with NO or NE) and take him there.

Remember Travis Frederick. He was taken late int he first a couple of years ago and Dallas got slammed by the media for it. How has that turned out so far? Dallas took him there because there was no way he would be available for their 2nd round pick.

Dallas has to do the same for Ajayi or any other player they desire in this draft. This is because they draft so late in each round. That is the price for being division champs.
