My word, this board has become obsessed with size.

After that 40 I dream of a Singletary and Mr. Taylor of Wisconsin backfield but alas we’ll probably draft a WR 

Taylor will probably go to KC with the last pick of the 1st and we will all collectively vomit

Agreed.  I wouldn’t mind taking any of the 6 then grabbing WR rd 2.

 

happy to see leake run a 4.65?  That’s gotta hurt him no?

Yeah, I’m going to have to tear up the Leake report and start over. Something doesn’t add up between the on-tape speed and the timed speed.

This is going to blow your mind

 

AJ Dillon 6'0 247
4.53
Bench 23 reps
Vertical 41 inch
Broad 131

 

 

Derrek Henry 6'3 247
4.54
Bench 22
Vertical 37 
Broad 130

 

I just looked it up

Henry-mania. It's swept the nation, not just here.

 

I'm only taking Dillon if it's like 7th round or undrafted personally.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I do think that folks look at Singletary and think “he’s small, so we need a big guy”. Whereas I look at him and think “he can grind out tough yards and be a consistent workhorse, so we need a guy with some juice that is a threat to go the distance in every play”.

3 cone for RB is super important .  Can't wait to see everyone's numbers

As have I my friend, as have I. The talk of moving him to TE is just talk imo. He's still gonna have a 36" vertical at least and I bet he runs between 4.5-4.55 in the 40. What he's gonna be is a problem for DB's.

Claypool made me think of the guy that the Ravens drafted from Notre Dame.  I was surprised Boykins didn't have a bigger impact but, it was his rookie year

Yeah, it's bizarre.  Devin runs with power we need to add some speed to compliment him.

I couldn't be much less interested in Dillon. He's pretty much only good for running in a straight line out of 22 personnel and similar groupings. Just isn't the kind of offense I want to be running and I don't think he'd really offer much value even on those plays.

 

If we're going to draft a RB, I want a guy that's either a versatile runner, a home run hitter, or a 3rd down back. Dillon is none of those things.

What's wrong with wanting your team to draft a guy you already knew had size, has proven what he can do on the field running the football, and is showing excellent athletic ability even further at the combine? I can't speak for others, but I have been saying I wanted us to draft Dillon well before this.

Speed, speed and more speed. Did I say speed?

Some people have Edwards-Helaire mocked to Buffalo.  With that 40 time, I don't see it.  He would be Devin Singletary II.  My definition of a complementary back does not equate to identical.  I want a guy who is either bigger or faster, if not both (AJ Dillon).

Ezra Cleveland I hope is targeted by the Bills. Round 3 would be a steal. I bet he goes early round 3.

If he was going on day one I would feel your argument a lot stronger but if he doesn't go until the later rounds he's got plenty of talent.

The reason Edwards-Helaire would be a good compliment is because he's a weapon out of the backfield as a receiver while also being a good runner. Singletary hasn't really shown he can be a good receiver. If you intend to end up with someone like CEH, you're hopefully finding a home run hitter in free agency somewhere to pair with the two of them.

I still think the Bills are going to pick up a RB in FA instead of drafting one... I predict an offer sheet for a guy like Matt Breida from the Niners. I agree with those who say they need a fast guy to complement Devin. 

[Andrew Son]

I think it's odd that Jonathan Taylor is not universally considered the best back in the draft.  He's unreal.

[Lurker]

Joshua Kelley ran 4.50 and 4.56 at 6.0'' 210 pounds.   He's a butter smooth runner who's plenty fast enough and I think he'd be the perfect compliment to Motor...
