Just pulled a 4.40; 4.36 hand timed. For reference McFarland ran a 4.45. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea with Canada being there, I’m guessing him...although Powell abs Rodgers are solid as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I hate taking a RB in the first, but Etienne would be pretty fun. We haven't had a homerun threat that can also actually do stuff other than run fast in a long time. I'm really hoping Williams has overtaken him, and we can get Etienne in the 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 All of sudden our RB room would have a lot of speed with a Mcfarland/Etienne backfield. I also think Ray-Ray with his speed will be apart of the running game. Canada had widouts running for a lot of yards with Pitt in 2016. Quadree Henderson(WR) had over 600 yards rushing in the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Etienne’s pro day, measurements, and stats look almost the same as Dalvin Cooks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebrick Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Steelers do not make smoke screens. Unless someone like Darrisaw falls to them they are targeting Etienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I’d rather have Amari Rodgers in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I know how a lot of you feel about a 1st round RB but sorry I’m taking one. Outside of Bell (2nd), who in this 3-6 round running backs have managed to be good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Bell (2nd), who in this 3-6 round running backs have managed to be good? I did some digging yesterday for funsies. 22 of the starting RB's in the NFL last year were in the top 5 drafted in their position. 19 of them came from rounds 1-2. So 60% of the starters are the first two rounds and 70% are in the "best" of the yearly group. 5 of the 13 remaining outside of rounds 1 and 2 were drafted within the first 10 picks of the 3rd round. So 75% of the starting RB's in the league get drafted before pick 75. 8 of the top 10 rushing leaders last year at RB (not counting Lamar) fall into the category of being 1-2 rounders and 14 of the top 20 (matching the 70% number). 6 of the 10 top All-Purpose RB's fall into the 1-2 rounds bucket. The perception is that you can get a running back anywhere, but it's not really true. For every Chris Carson, there are 3 running backs taken in the first 75 picks of the draft. The chances of you getting a James Robinson is extremely low, so if you are looking for a starter, you might as well go and find a quality one. That's not to say you need to take one in the first round (personally, I think the key is being in on it in the second as 1st round RB talents fall in todays drafts), but Im okay with drafting a guy who is going to touch the ball 25-30 times in the late first. I don't love it necessarily, but I would take it if he was BPA because of just how much impact that player can have from how often the ball finds its way into their hands. I understand fixing the line first too, but the draft is a 4-5 year investment (that you hope turns into 8-10). So if Harris or Etienne is a game changer vs someone further down the list, take em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
