Derrick Henry coming in for a visit

[gimmesix]

Not saying the visits mean anything, but Carolina definitely could take him at the end of the first round.

Would be a terrible fit, I think. Think Henry needs to be part of an offense that runs the I-formation often. He'd be hit in the backfield too much in Carolina.

What about Jordan Howard in the 3rd? I'd hope he would last till our 4th but who knows.

read option he'll get hit in backfield but cam will still be running hes actually a good fit for Carolina

That's...an odd way to describe drafting an RB in the first. You make it sound like Henry would be a decoy rather than productive.

We can only hope.

Am I the only who loves Bosa and Henry as prospects? I'd be thrilled if we got both in the draft.

I don't have an issue with Dallas taking both of them. There are other ways we could go, but selecting them would help two of our biggest need areas IMO.

Like Howard alot. Howard and Prosise are two guys I wouldn't mind taking in the 3rd or 4th or even 5th round (well Prosise is more 4th and 5th round as opposed to 3rd - that might be reaching for him).

naaa just I've already stated my caseon other threads don't feel like repeating myself sometimes but the guy can catch he can read blocks doesn't get caught from behind and scores tds I like scores at at the end of games u don't those defensive gonna get tired of hitting him in open field especially corners....you can give him the ball 25 plus a game and he gets better as the game goes and always seems to put the dagger at the end with those long game clinching td runs or blowouts..... if he come to dallas and get 350 plus carries he'll have 1500- 1800+ yrds i think, if stays healthy of coarse, with us cause of our oline and hes got a lean to him he falls fwd ..... I just see a a player so what he don't have the greatest wiggle he can carry a team if u give him the opportunity to do so I think.. but u know just giving my opinion of him

I think with the Long news Bosa has to be the favorite to the pick.

You are probably right, but it does seem to stack up pretty well with what we have done or not done in free agency.

I asked this on another thread and I will repeat the question here. Would any of you take Noah Spence over Bosa?

Nope. Don't like Spence against the run, strictly a pass rusher.

After Elliott, I think there are 7-8 backs that are all about the same depending on what certain teams are looking for.

Great year, again, to get a productive back in rounds 2-4.
If it's from that talent pool, then preferably take one after round 2 for me given the parity.

 

[casmith07]

Of course, I want Elliott over Henry. But one thing I will say about Henry is that he comes with no baggage. He's the ultimate teammate and is very selfless.

and he's huge.

I have slight Trent Richardson concerns with him, and any Alabama RB, but if nothing else he'll be a brick wall in pass protection.

If we don't take Zeke then I'm targeting a RB with one of our 4th rounders.

No but it is close for me and if Spence slips into the 20s I start looking into trading up. Before everyone kills me for this I'm against trading up 95% of the time. I think Spence could be special.

I don't know that much about him but that was my concern too. Running backs from Wisconsin and Alabama seem to struggle in the NFL. I guess we'll find out more about Lacey next year but even he had a bit of a slump this year.

Not sure how it's Alabama's fault that Lacey got fat after two successful seasons. Personal player problem, outside of that, Bama did what they could to get him ready for the NFL.

 

[Direwolf63]

If you pick Henry in the draft, maximize him for the 4 or 5 years you have him on a rookie contract, then let him go. I see him as a guy who will have a great start to his career, then hit a brick wall at about 4-5 years.

A more talented Marion Barber.

may not be a bad idea
