If we don't get Zeke...Dixon please

[BrAinPaiNt]

Kid looks like a heck of a player and some of the catches he made looked like WRs catching in the end zone.

 

[MrPhil]

Not that they are all knowing sages but the guys on the DC Draft Show don't think he will make it to our 3rd round pick. If true, not sure he is worth #34.

 

[Hardline]

Just draft Zeke and be done with it.

 

[Idgit]

Dixon's my kind of RB. Good balance and vision, nice cuts, and just a hard runner. Not an athletic freak, but just a good all-around football player.

 

[reddyuta]

I like him but all indication are that we are not drafting a RB this year.We only brought in EE and i doubt we even take him at 4.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Doesnt he fumble alot?

We met with overrated henry and Paul perkins too.

Like him a lot. Sneaky good. Reminds me of Curtis Martin

I think we are taking a TB this year. We wanted one last year but the draft board didn't work out. I think they'll take one possibly in the 3-5th rounds.

I read an article in the local papers that Dixon is a name that will probably go higher than people expect and that also Prosise might go higher than expected as some scouts have said NFL teams love his athleticism and flexibility.

 

[RS12]

They should be looking at Booker, but instead are looking at Kenyon Drake.

 

[Sydla]

What's the deal on Booker's injury history?

I am in the camp that we take a TB in the 2nd through 5th rounds (obviously needing to trade up/down for a 5th).

Guys who interest me......... Booker, Dixon, Howard, Prosise.

I think you might be thinking of Collins from Arkansas

 

[Idgit]

He actually does. Not that either of us are saying he'll be Curtis Martin (obligatory). He's got that economy of motion. Nice cuts, and then puts his head down and drives.

Meniscus I believe. He's healthy now by all accounts.

I have seen this before but Collins is just shocking to me,there is no reason he should be fumbling at that rate.If he drops into the 5th Rd i would really take him.

Kid looks like a heck of a player and some of the catches he made looked like WRs catching in the end zone.

He's actually Drew Boylhart's (The Huddle Report) #1 RB in the draft. Here's his analysis (PARAPHRASED)...

Kenneth Dixon RB Louisiana Tech

STRENGTHS
Kenneth Dixon reminds me of Marshall Faulk. Kenneth has the burst, quickness, and lateral agility to play multiple offensive positions. He can run between the OTs as well as anyone in this draft. He also catches the ball as well as most of the WRs in this draft. He might be the 2nd, or 3rd, best receiver in the draft. He runs excellent routes, and can catch downfield like a WR. He has a high football IQ, because he can read defenses, and adjust his routes on the fly. He has enough speed to run sweeps and screen plays. While he doesn't have elite speed, Kenneth has quick feet, which allow him to make cuts to avoid tackles in a crowd or in the open field. He's not a big back like Henry, but he has enough size to take the pounding of a NFL RB.He's has the ability to be a franchise RB, because he'll be a 3-down RB that never leaves the field.

CONCERNS
I haven’t seen him block a blitzing linebacker, so I don't know how well he does in this area. However, with his ability to catch the ball, why would you ever ask him to block.

TALENT BOARD ROUND: 1
Kenneth might be one of the best impact offensive players in this draft. If you wonder what type of impact Kenneth will have on a team, just look at some film of Marshall Faulk. Kenneth will be an impact player as a running back and as a receiver. Kenneth is a touchdown maker.

61.6 – Wendell Smallwood, West Virginia
63.5 – Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech

My bad, left off a 3. Still bad, though
