James Cook is the best pass catching RB in the draft

I think Saffold and Bates will actually make a difference

I think this line of thinking had its merits on the pure basis of adding an “elite RB” but I’m not aligned to it with any of the RBs in this draft at 25, which is why I can’t get there. I don’t know if Hall or any of them are elite nfl prospects, he’s not the best in the class from my perspective so I’m stuck on the whole needing to take him or else philosophy. I like Walker & Spiller at 57 potentially. I’m ok taking one higher than the 3rd at this point. But none of them show me 1st round traits at a position of average value - JMO

He is such a great story. Never left Ohio. Drafted 4th overall and lived up to it in his hometown, which is a ton of pressure. He’s a really good kid and deserves the bag, as we know its a premium position and he’s the latest to be paid so he’s going to the top of the pile, doesn’t matter whether he’s the best in the league or not.

8. More. Days. or 9, because he will probably still be there on day 2.

Can we merge all these with the 2021 Etienne thread

I’m not a helmet scout but I do favor SEC and Big Ten RBs for nfl projection

Yes I am because I don’t think any of the RBs in this draft should go in the 1st round. I don’t know when all the corners will come off the board. No one does. You specifically presented a scenario of the 5th or 6th ranked corner going above Breece hall to the Bills (who isn’t even my RB1 btw) and that could happen if the Bills have 5-6 CBs with 1st round grades and didn’t give him one. No one knows their board but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that at all. It’s also not about “urgent” to get a specific position - it’s about the future as well and getting the best player. That could be any number of positions - but highly doubt it would be a non-premium position in the 1st. I do think they could consider a LB, it’s the only non premium position they have taken in the 1st 2 rounds and haven’t drafted one on the first 2 days since 2018. I’m not high on Breece Hall prior to our 2nd round pick and even then I’d rather have a few others. Big 12 RBs feasting on bad Ds and light boxes are not exciting to me especially since contact balance and vision aren’t his strengths.

I don’t know what this means… if the CB is higher on a team’s board than any of the RBs it doesn’t matter where he ranks within his own position on their board. And CB is a premium position, which is top heavy in this particular draft. How many CBs have 1st round grades vs how many RBs have 1st round grades determines which is a reach

I don’t mind trying to upgrade the RB room but reaching for an RB in the 1st round seems like total overkill

I totally thought it was Frazier at first

Meh

Snowing in Ohio too! 85 by this weekend though. Typical April

Added Travon Walker who is getting a lot of #1 pick buzz

Good luck to Sevyn. Denzel Burke is absolute stud and cam brown back, banks ok to move on

They all looked like they were freezing 😂

It moves fast but here is who I recognized- ed Oliver dawson knox von miller Bass singletary edmunds rousseau gabe davis isaiah Hodgins Dion dawkins case Keenum matt Barkley Taron johnson boogie basham tommy Sweeney siran neal Josh allen

Yes

Is there some kind of manual out there that these guys use. If he’s not careful he’s going to wind up on the jets

He tries very hard at the social media
