Some quick post-combine thoughts!

Yeah take two backs in the later rounds but put draft picks at the running back position. I agree with that take. I don’t want to overpay Dowdle.

Where would Johnathan Brooks be in this draft?

Probably not even in the first four rounds. But I thought Brooks was a reach in the second anyway, given his blown knee.

Trey Benson might be a fairer comp, and I'd probably have him as the 4th or 5th RB in this class. His Post-It note resume was "committee back with a nice YPC average, 216 lbs, 4.39 40, decent hands". That sounds a lot like the Ohio State duo this year. Maybe a tad below them, cause those guys are both studs.
 
Crazy that they dealt that 4th away, will be great rb depth there, probably not in the 5th
There is like 10 running backs that could develop into pro ball types. Trade with Miami, Cincinnati,Arizona, ect and get that 4th rounder back. Then still get the player you want. I think you can get Ollie Gordon in the 5th. I think he will end up being a solid back.
 
Graham, Johnson, and Tet look like victims of prospect fatigue. They've all put in 2 seasons of elite play, they've been touted as top 10 kinds of players for a full year now, and they didn't test at the Combine to offer anyone any new information. So guys like Matthew Golden get to steal their attention away from them.

Between his sophomore and junior years, Tet freaking averaged 108 yards a game, over 25 games. He's a stud. Don't overthink it.

I wasn't on board the Tet train when he was getting top 3 talk, but him falling the teens is just craziness.
I agree to an extent but I think the size / length / speed concerns around them is legit.

Not a ton but maybe instead of being top 5ish picks they’re top 15ish which is great for us as there will be a very good chance 1 of them is there at 12.

The arm length for Johnson isn’t a big deal for me I’m more interested in the injury. If it’s clear he’s an elite zone CB prospect and that’s where we’re headed.
