Duke's not one of them IMO.

Gurley
Gordon
Ajayi
Coleman
Davis
Cobb
Allen
Langford

After that you can't convice me . Don't like the johnsons or Abdullah .

Compared to Randle? I am not fans of them, but I think they have special qualities that I frankly just do not see from Randle.

Plus, I think all three have functional brains, which is a big plus.

I think anyone should stop when they're really about to make a comparison to a hall of fame player. Those guys usually have some major talents and a load of drive to go with it. Also I'd guess that the average size of a defender in the NFL has gone up some since Emmitt and has sky rocketed since Dorsett.

The only thing I compared him to was Emmitt's height and weight. Although the study done on RB's basically came up with stats that said a back around this size was the best. History says backs in the 5'8 - 5'10 range and 210-215 lbs are pretty much the prototype. Sure there are exceptions, but the greater number of good backs fit in that size range.

Would love this....

I think we're dropping the ball by not bringing him in even though we brought in the Nebraska kid who fumbles like once a game

We brought in just about every running back under the sun except this guy, even the dude that fumbles putting on his helmet came in for a visit.

They must really not like Duke.:laugh:

lol in Rob Rangs latest mock he doesn't even have Dante Fowler going in the 1st round. Guys a joke Their Body types are nothing similar and neither are their playing styles. Duke Johnson is nothing but a 3rd down back. We didn't visit with him for a reason.

Fowler goes 5th to the Commanders in Rang's latest mock.

You apparently can't read. Fowler is 3rd on his Big Board

Pretty sure he just forgot him in the mock draft...he has Mariota twice.
