Please don't draft player X in any round...

For me, Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama. I just don't see it with this guy. I see Trent Richardson part 2. I see a RB with no wiggle, straight line speed only. He can truck a guy if he gets going, but he seems to need too much help from players around him to be decent. He will not get the huge holes in the NFL they he received in the SEC.

His ceiling to me is Brandon Jacobs-esque, and that's if he maximizes all of his potential. My opinion is he is not as good as where he will probably get drafted and there will be players I like better on the board in every round. I hope some team loves him during our 2nd round pick and wants to part with their 2nd and 3rd for him.

I mostly agree, if I were running a draft for any team I would set an auto flag to remove any RB from Alabama or Wisconsin

Connor Cook

So you don't want to draft the second best RB in college football?
Name one Alabama RB that has busted not named Trent Richardson.

I would select Henry as early as the second round.

It doesn't have anything to do with him being from Alabama. I watched him play. It was easy to make the Trent R comparison. And I don't think he is the second best RB.

he'll get 1500+ with us because he fits what we do.... yall are sleeping on this guy he presses the hole and then honestly you cant always be super fast through the hole u need some patience for the play to develop and with our line I think we can open some gapping holes and he don't seem to get caught from behind when he's in the open field much hardly at all actually maybe a few but is very few he's gotten caught from behind annndd how many corners u think may make business decisions if hes coming there way.. ijs You know whats coming and u still cant stop it and he gets better the more carries he gets, its like he don't get tied (in kevin gates voice)

He scares me a bit but I wouldn't say I wouldn't draft him in any round. Though he won't be around when I would take him since I want a QB at 4 and defense the next few picks starting with a DT

yup....there are not many players that a team should say---"not in any round".......unless they think they have a inside track on FA, but we see how that worked out with Thomas Rawls last year....

Connor Cook

Seconded

Eddie Lacy is heading into the bust direction. Ingram is good he's nothing special

He's so RKG. Strong possibility the Cowboys will fall in love.

 

[reddyuta]

Agree on Henry.not sure he can even be a goal line Back in the NFL, he has no wiggle and can't make NFl LBs miss.

Name one RB from Alabama that has been special or remotely come close to their hype....?
During the Saban era.
I have Henry after both Ark RBs, after Booker, and Elliott. This is a pretty thin RB class, if this were last years class, I'd have Henry as a sixth or seventh rounder on my board.

Both are productive players in the NFL. Neither is a bust.

Glad you are not a scout for the Cowboys. You are in a very small minority

Like I said Ingram is good he's not as good as he was supposed to be. If Eddie Lacy doesn't lose weight soon he's going to find himself a free agent

 

[visionary]

No Myles Jack in Rd 1
No Derrick Henry in Rd 2
No Connor Cook in Rd 3

 

[Kaiser]

Joey Bosa is going to be wildly overdrafted. He will have a good career, but nothing justifying the top five pick being thrown around right now.

How soon we forget Derrick Lassic and Sherman Williams
