My dream is they trade up to 22, take Harris, and leave us with Etienne. Nvm, report says they would be moving up for Etienne... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 As I mentioned in Wars mock, I do have a feeling that both top backs are gone before we pick. It’s just a hunch. But I was terrified before hearing Colbert talk today that they had stuck themselves with running back and then we would have hear “pick 24, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...trey Sermon, RB, OSU”. I feel better now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 its going to be refreshing the next time we have a top 5-10 pick(without trading up) won't have to worry about several guys being picked before us. Picking in the 20's all the time like we have gets old this time of the yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to think they surprise us and go CB if Harris/Etienne are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be shocked to hear Greg Newsome III’s name called for us. Can play on or off man. Can play man or zone. Can play inside or outside. Shut down all the top WRs in the B1G. I don’t think the gap between him and Horn/Surtain is all that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s gone trade back and accumulate as many picks as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t stay healthy for a full season in college, only 1 INT in 3 seasons, and commits a lot of penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Have to see who is on the board at 24. I do think if Etienne is there they will not trade down but rush up to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt really say that is "surprising". We essentially lost 2 starting CBs and have pretty much nothing behind Haden and Sutton. I just get Vietnam-style flashbacks of reaching for Artie Burns. Im concerned there wont be a CB actually worth taking there....but we will reach on one. I would pray for a trade down. At least pick up an extra mid round pick.

I dont think he will be there....if only because teams know how desperate we are for RB, and I think we will see a team trade up over us to grab him.

I think finishing dead last in rushing and having Benny Snell as your current top RB speaks far louder than words. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Well, I'm not sure I like the sound that Etienne is the 3rd RB on their board, given that he seems to be best in the areas that would help more right now and down the road. Personally if you are going to take a UNC back, I would take Carter in the 3rd. Williams production came against VT, NCST, Duke, and Miami....4 off the worst ACC defenses. Carter gives you a little more level production game to game without the wild highs and lows (Carter beat up even more on VT and Miami than Williams).

jebrick Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Those are guesses by Rapoport. Etienne fits what Canada likes to do so I would guess he is their #1. He could easily be gone there as teams know they can't wait on him because the Steelers came to the draft wearing his jersey. I am sure they have looked at Williams but he did not get the Tombert experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrunn Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Harris > Etteine More of a 3 down back Etteine is the home run hitter, but how many chances is there for a 80 yrd td run, maybe once a year Give me the constant 5-20 yards with great passing game potential and pass blocking potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
