Runningbacks

[baltcowboy]

He isn’t a player that deserves a huge contract but give him a little credit. The rest of the backfield are JAGs or worse (Elliott, Cook, Vaughn) Rico has been impressive when then actually give him the ball and would make a great complementary piece in the RB group if he isn’t to expensive.

I will give him the rest of the season.

The most underrated RB in this year's class is Cam Skattebo from Arizona St. He's a downhill runner and might just be the toughest back to tackle...mainly because he looks to hit you first. Plays RB with a LB's mentality... Has some Mike Alstott in him.
Skattebo is the only starting RB to be on ST... and wants to be on ST. The kid loves to light people up!
This kid is fun to watch.

One of my favorite RBs, feet, vision, contact balance, hands, low center of gravity, agility and finishes run. Highly impressed with Skattebo. Travis Theis has the same type make up as Skattebo. RB class is deep.

I like him as a Marion Barber type.

Just unleash him and let him go.

I’m telling you guys to watch tape on Tahj Brooks out of Tech. He’s now the all time leading rusher at Tech and has rushed for over 100 every game this season. He’s a bowling ball at 230.

sign me up in 5th round.

Instead of drafting Jeanty, I would draft Burden, then use 2 of the 4 of the picks they have in rounds 3 and 5 to target RBs. Give me Neal or Skattebo and Giddens then focus the rest of the draft on fixing the defense.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Why not 1 on day 2 and another on day 3, Kiper said there are 35 draftable backs this yr, class is loaded!

I wouldn’t mind a day 3 on Rocket Sanders as a #2 back. Not as explosive as he was, but still a very good size/speed guy that could think against tired defenses

 

[darthseinfeld]

Could be the Bucky Irving of this class. Slept on, then winds up one of the best backs in the class

 

[JeffInDC]

This kids a monster.

Johnson was LITERALLY Iowa’s ENTIRE offense this year. And, he STILL succeeded.

Really would like to move to more of a outside zone scheme like the 49ers/Rams use then the inside zone scheme we have had here for a while. We aren't going to know anything about the scheme until we find out who will be running the offense, what OL coach we hire.

100%…

Burden (or non RB BPA)…
DT round 2
RB rounds 3 and 5

I’d also bring back Dowdle. Not a popular opinion but as the OL has gotten better he’s gotten better and he’s advanced metrics are pretty positive. We need 1 proven RB and he’s turning into that IMO.

I like these RBs, all of them, very high on these guys.

 

[Mr_437]

He's special, don't underrate this guy. That's 20 touches a game, a WR is 4-8 with Lamb being WR1.

 

[Mr_437]

Give me RJ Harvey in the third and double down with Skattebo in the fifth...he'll add some attitude to the RB room. Harvey will bring the lightning and Skattebo will bring the thunder.

Harvey is a good sneak pick.

 

[RS12]

How many of these type runs have we seen this year? It isnt luck.

The kid is a flat out stud. I’m playing Will Grier the rest of the year so we have a chance if I’m Jerry….

I was at this game. Absolutely unreal. The crowd was hyped. It was a pleasure watching him run all season.

 

[Cowboyny]

Dane believes he is the 2nd best player in the draft only behind Hunter.

That safety had the angle until Jeanty hit the 4th gear.
