SilverNBlackFan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Like the pick. His versatility is amazing. KU always seems to have a nice gadget player, going back to Randall Cobb. But yeah this is yet another player Gruden can get creative with. I dunno if he's ready to be our #2 back, though. Pass blocking is paramount and he will definitely spend this year learning and getting better in that area. I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Devonta Freeman if he's healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 It's so confusing watching highlights of Bowden. I don't know if he's going to be a WR, RB or QB on the play and have to keep going back and rewatching once I figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we add another bruising RB to challenge Rod Smith in UDFA, DAY 3, or a vet for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a Slot WR for us primarily imo, but he’s also a gadget guy that can play RB Shotgun Snaps and play QB on certain plays. I think him and Renfrow will get some equal time in the slot, and Bowden gets more snaps than Renfrow as we get late into the season.

Humble_Beast Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 MM said they going use him as a joker, and teach him to play more RB. Running for 1400 in the SEC is really impressive. Weighs over 200 pounds, low mileage due to playing WR/QB, and runs a 4.4 with good vision and burst. Solid 3rd round prospect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrleone Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 In Gruden's offence I see a Charlie Garner clone that can return punts. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a RB out of Mayocks own mouth. they will train him as a RB and later start to move him around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, Bowden is a receiver in the NFL, even if reports are that the Raiders want to use him as a running back/do-it-all weapon.” Kiper isn’t exactly the best person to quote, but I do think Bowden ends up a slot WR in the league.

He didn't say try at all, he said they drafted him as RB and they will train him as a RB. Can't believe you quoted Kiper right now, he not the Gm or the coach. I see Charlie Garner personally.

Dodo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just saw the highlights from the Belk Bowl where he balled out and won the game after starting a pre-game scuffle. Like this cat already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
