Lloyd looks like an absolute dream fit for MLF offense. I don't hate him, but he isn't one of my favorites either. Not sure that there is a back that I have looked at and thought "no way" so far. I don't think any of them are complete, maybe the FSU guy, but they all have a niche, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Davis is complete, all around. 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorites are: Trey Benson, Jaylen Wright, Jon Brooks, and probably Blake Corum. I think Corum tested really poorly compared to what was expected, pro day will be important for him. I think Ray Davis and MarShawn Lloyd are a step below these guys as all around backs, probably include Dillon Jonson from Washington in that group. I think a lot of the rest of the backs have a good niche that can be utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I'll just keep saying it... Will Shipley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would absolutely love to pair him with a power back. You could put Shipley out wide with the power back as the single back, or move him in and have the power guy play FB. We did a little of this with Jones and Dillon, but I feel like Shipley is a better receiver than Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the closest guy to Aaron Jones play style is Bucky Irving. But he has a lot of work to do to prove that he can get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipley is one of the better ones though. I don't dislike him, I'm just not all that excited about him I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GB can land the next Eckler in RD3/RD4 I sure won't be complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Comparing any of these guys to Jones is a little unfair. Jones proved himself to be pretty special. Durability was his only real weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 TBF when comparing prospects to NFL players, nobody is comparing them to their peaks, only the roles they could fill or their play styles. Common misconception. Shipley even has Jones's falling down awkwardly on tackles thing down to a science. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last one that really thrived in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maaaaybe Bucky Irving but the guy cannot pass block at all, so I'm worried of he ever is truly more than just a gadget guy in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
