Golden and Henderson

[lk8701]

Should be our 1st 2 picks if available. 2 game breakers would change the dynamic of this team. Reminds me of the Lions drafting Williams and Gibbs.

 

[Carson]

That would be ideal.

However, Henderson is likely going to sneak in late 1st / early 2nd. No chance he last until our 2nd pick

I think there's a chance he's at 44. Similar backs in past years have been available in that range.

That’s true. But he is picking up steam fast

The Virginia Tech back is the fastest and Jane just said the Cowboys like him.

The league is relearning that running the ball wins games.

Remember that accountant geek that people used to worship here tried telling us that running the ball and defending the run had no impact in winning games?

He had some mathematical formula that proved it.

Good times.

As fun as WR/RB would be in rounds 1/2 I feel like round 2 is the sweet spot for DT.

He’s turning into one of my favorite RB targets. He’s my Hendo lite.

I think he disappeared about the first time we got truly flattened by an average RB.

AdamTJ3, or something like that?

AdamTJ3, or something like that?

Yes. Very smart guy but too smart for his own good sometimes.

Does JJ know that stopping the also helps to win games.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the exception to a successful team using a premium draft pick on a RB. The formula is find a FA or find value later in the draft.

All 14 playoff teams from last year-

Philly- Barkley= Free Agent
KC- Pacheco/Hunt= 6th Rd & Free Agent
Buf- Cook= 63rd pick
Wash- Robinson Jr/Ekeler= 98th pick & Free Agent
Hou- Mixon= Free Agent
Bal- Henry= Free Agent
LAR- Williams= 164th pick
GB- Jacobs= Free Agent
TB- Irving/White= 125th & 91st picks
Min- Jones= Free Agent
LAC- Dobbins/Edwards= Both Free Agents
Den- Williams/McLuahlin/Estime= 35th, UDFA & 147th picks
Det- Gibbs/Montgomery= 12th picks & free agent
Pit- Harris/Warren= 24th pick & UDFA

Yes, Harris and Williams are also technically exceptions, but both are pretty much universally accepted as bad investments and both are onto their 2nd team.

Just about every RB in the leagues leading rushing all time are 1st round draft picks. RBs arent a dime a dozen .

And which highly drafted RB has won meaningful playoff games with the team that drafted them in the last decade ?

 

[Hardline]

Yes. Very smart guy but too smart for his own good sometimes.

In Texas we call them over educated idiots. I make them look foolish in debates about topics we can't discuss here.

 

[Hardline]

Doesn't matter. The higher the RB selected in the draft the odds of them being better in the NFL. I guarantee you Jeanty will come closer to winning OROY than an undrafted free agent.
