A mid round guy I like is Javian Hawkins of Louisville. This is actually shaking out to be a great year to grab a mid-round RB. Hawkins would be a great pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like either a speed guy (4.3 type) or somebody like Nick and Kareem that can break tackles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it comes down to what they think of D'Ernest Johnson going forward. I personally like him and hope we keep him. I'd like to carry four RB's since our system runs a lot. If we don't go with a pure speed guy, I like both the Ohio State backs, Najee if for some reason teams are dumb and he makes it to the third round, Zamir White(!) and Kylin Hill, CJ Verdell and Spencer Brown, just off the top of my head. There are a lot of other quality backs, from what I can tell. I've been running some walkthemocks and love the value of who is there in the fourth round, maybe even fifth.

malibuspeedrace Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I want them to extend Chubb and not think about RB this year before the 6th. push it off til the next year if they can’t keep hunt as the second head of the monster i want our identity to continue on this path of rushing, and I think they could easily pay them both as they wouldn’t need an OBJ level contract at WR we won’t find anyone in the draft better than Chubb, so why weaken our massive strength that appears to be the basis of the offense. keep both happy with their touches, let them be the focal point of the offense, and hopefully both will stay happy in that role 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes to keep ing chubb or Landry or obj, we have to keep chubb, he is an amazing running back, imo the best since prime AP Edited November 26, 2020 by Kiwibrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Kiwi touched on it. I want to keep Nick, but I want a 3rd RB. We saw how much the run game suffered when Nick was out. That can’t happen again. We don’t need a monster as our 3rd RB, but we need a guy that doesn’t cause a massive drop off in production. We’re not quite the Mike Shannahan Broncos system of just plug and play yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like johnson can get 95 vs the cowboys on limited touches, but, special players still make a difference, especially vs good teams. The Broncos running game was never the same after they traded Portis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following seasons they had a top4, top2, and I believe 2 more top10 rushing attacks and then they moved on from Shanny. Seems like the running game was never the same after they fired Shanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPrice25 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I don't watch a lot of MACtion, but is Dustin Crum really just a 6th-7th round prospect? Everywhere I look he's either not even ranked or is ranked as a 6th-7th rounder or UDFA. Everything I've seen of him he looks pretty impressive. The ball FLIES out of his hand and he's got decent athleticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brady is the only QB in the last like 20 years to be drafted after the 3rd or 4th round to amount to anything so in theory, why waste a pick when you can just get your backup QB as a UDFA? The numbers say its practically useless to spend a draft pick on a QB outside of round 1-2 Edited November 27, 2020 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't very stout at the point of attack when double teamed and he has struggled a lot this year, but he's still a good player. Shaun Rogers good? No. But I think he could start for us inside. He's going to be a solid starter. Nothing more, nothing less. I think you are selling him a bit short but then again, you are entitled to your opinion. I think he has been dealing with an injury all year and didnt play up to his level last year, and I wouldn't quite pronounce his upside of you haven't seen him 100%, also if you are playing with an ankle or a knee, of course you won't be as strong (but if you watched him last year, he was) And with Myles he wont see nearly as many double teams, now with the recent injury, I would be stoked getting him in the 2nd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers say its practically useless to spend a draft pick on a QB outside of round 1-2 While I don't necessarily disagree, my question was more, "Is Crum really just a 6th round prospect?" He had himself a season last year, and it looks like he's picking up right where he left off this year. He's got a cannon for an arm and is mobile. How is he not getting more love? Is it just because he plays in the MAC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
