Is this proof the running back position is ascending?

[WillieBeamen]

Yes and its why I want Jeanty.


QBs arent throwing for big yardage anymore

1. Lack of talent at qb overall

2. 2-Deep coverages

Is the midget that much better than Gordon? Enough to pick him top 10 instead of the 2nd round for Gordon? Just going by the highlights, I like Gordon more.

Fair question and I think its too early to really say. From what i see Jeanty is my favorite RB of the class, but RB also seems to be deeper than it was last season too, and there could be some really good value in rounds 2 and 3. There might realistically be 10 RBs that are legitimate starting NFL prospects this year. I think it really is a wait and see where these guys are getting mocked to after the combine as stocks rise and fall.

Questions that need to be asked though relative to this particular player.
1) What level of defenses has he played? Does he go from elite to just another good RB in the SEC?
2) What can he do outside running the ball? (pass pro, receiving)
3) Is this record setting season a detriment to his NFL career?

These are all questions being asked by others also.........especially the level of competition. To me, the other side of that coin is he did exactly what you would expect from an elite back........dominated lesser competition.

So true.......we are no longer seeing a bunch 300+ yard passers each Sunday

 

[HungryLion]

I do think teams are still valuing good RB’s.

That being said this deal for Conner is 9.5 mil per year. Which isn’t a whole lot of money cap % wise given how much the cap is growing over the next couple of seasons.

Hating on the Zeke still.

And you're "just kidding" still, eh? Lol.

And when did Zeke become "the" Zeke? Are you on the payroll?

Hey, look who chimes in with nothing.

honestly would rather hate on my buddy you know who?? lol, he's obviously unarmed!!!!

 

[rambo2]

I agree.....especially if he tests well. He's only 341 yards from breaking Barry Sanders's record....

If he tests well? He will test well. Just look at him.

 

[rambo2]

Good play, and I would not be upset if the Cowboys draft him in the first round, but this draft will have a bunch of good RBs. The Cowboys should be able to find a good one in round 3. There will also be some DTs in this draft and I would focus on that DL, especially if they do not re-sign Osa and Golston.

This draft has 1 Jeanty. That's it.

You are nuts.

 

[kskboys]

Not directed at you, but I chuckle a little when I think how the majority waxed on & on about Bijan being the greatest prospect since AP, etc. and I think we'd all agree he hasn't been that level of difference maker.

Maybe Jeanty is & will be .... but I will be skeptical just because we've seen the hype train outrun reality many times.

Ooo, IDK about that. Robinson has been very very good, but ATL doesn't give him the ball all that much. Doesn't help at all that Cousins is their QB.

The Atlanta OC is not making full use of Robinson, that is clear.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Say what you want but Gruden knows football.........glad to see him back

 

[Risen Star]

Dowdle will make bank.

 

[kskboys]

Isn't this the same message board that said RBs were a dime a dozen and never draft one before the fourth round?

Yup. Silly fan stuff. The super bowl contenders take them often in the first. KC, DET, both took a 1st round RB recently. SF just gave up a king's ransom for one.

 

[kskboys]

That is not true. I got me a ceramic plate to throw at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UncleRico]

It’s a deep RB class. As much as I like Jeanty you can get a good one in 2/3. Doubt he will be there anyways. I’m going OL/DL first

 

[kskboys]

The ATL HC is a Kyle Shanahan disciple. Explains Bijan's under usage to a T.

Can you? Rb's are hit and miss after the 2nd. The majority of starting RB's in the NFL came in rounds 1-2.
