RB, CJ Prosise

[mattjames2010]

Quickly becoming my favorite RB in the draft behind Henry. 6'0 and ran a 4.46 at the combine. What I'm most impressed by is his start and stop speed and extra gear in the open field. It's just a huge bonus he allows blocks to develop while having great vision down the field. He also has experience as a WR, so catches out of the back field or even downfield are positives for him. That's a negative as well though, he has more experience at WR than RB, luckily RB is an easy transition.

Sadly, all my sleeper picks are ending up on major media lists and made a name for themselves at combines. He's been projected as high as a second rounder, I would hope he falls to the third.

Another Draft Breakdown for those interested in that kind of film.

Tiny hands lead to a lot of fumbles for Prosise. He fumbled every 45 touches in college, that's a quick way out of a job in the NFL.

He's definitely intriguing tho. If he can clean up the fumbles and learn to run with a lower center of gravity I agree he could be good. Shane Vereen is an obvious comp that I think he could reach.

Many backs, even greats came into the league with fumble issues. Never been something I've put a huge emphasis on since too many RBs cleaned up their fumbling habits. It's certainly a negative, but something that can be fixed. Speed, extra gear, stop and go speed is natural traits that can't be learned.

I think it would have been smart had he spent one more year in college though, but he has enough talent to work with right now. I would be interested to see how he lines up in a Linehan offense with his receiving history.

I like him. Kind of tall for a RB but I like his game.

A nice write up by insidethestar, they have GIFs for examples. Said some similar things I did.

He and the Howard kid are my favorite non-Zeke backs in the draft.

The fumbles are a concern though.

Eh, looks like a scat back to me. Which isn't a big negative, but I'm thinking more of a starting RB outside of the first round.

 

[StarHead69]

He should have a nice career as a 3rd down back, but we have Dunbar. Personally, I hate that we seem to stick with UDFAs so long even after they have proven themselves to be unreliable and jag.

I like Prosise, alot. I wouldn't take him before the 3rd though. He isnt ready to be a feature. Still raw as a HB. I do belive he offers the upside of a bigger/faster Matt Forte or a bigger Gio Bernard. But he also might have a small role in 2016

I'm not, but the team will. The point I was making is that if there is a UDFA on the roster, we seem to be loathe to draft competition for their roster spot no matter how ineffective/injury-prone that player may be. Procise represents a clear upgrade over Dunbar... that goes without saying.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Poor balance and vision.

Huh? We talking about the same player? He has excellent vision.

Dunbar is an unrestricted free agent and coming off of a serious knee injury. I don't think he's as much of a lock to be back as you're implying
