Dillon (a 2nd round picks) and Josh Jacobs (FA). Everything else has just been UDFAs or day 3 picks. This is now I feel too. I was not expecting GB to have serious interest in Jacobs.

You can also type "[name of player you want to watch] vs". Plenty of game film cut-ups out there that aren't highlights. Will try that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can absolutely admit CMCs 3cone is at another level than Shipley's and that shows up on the field too. Shipley is not at CMCs level, as a football player for sure. But I think they unquestionably have a similar play style and athletic profile. I legitimately knew nothing about Shipley before I searched him on YouTube for a highlight reel. I then knew the only other piece information I learned before watching his play: that he went to Clemson. After about 6 highlights the first thing that popped in my head was "he looks like someone in the league with the ball in his hands..." then like 3 plays later I knew I was thinking of CMC. Didn't have any idea how tall he was or how much he weighed or his 40 or production or anything. Just thought immediately he played similarly to CMC and got similar results against his highlight reel competition. Then 10min later I looked up his RAS and saw how athletically similar he was to CMC and thought "this makes sense to me" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of do we or dont we draft the guy......not worth worrying about at this stage. I've looked at that one tape and come up with some general thoughts. If we do draft him - I'll root for him. If we dont - I'll root for us driving him into the ground. I keep it simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Not seeing it yet with Shipley. He had just as many games under 4 ypc as over it last year. Started with his game vs fsu since it popped up first and that was really not good. I'll keep going until I watch all his games from last year though.

Isherwood Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 One other thing about Shipley (and keep in mind that I like the prospect and would love GB to draft him) is he needs a lot of work in pass pro. Like a lot. Maybe the least concerning thing for me when drafting a RB, but it will prevent the likelihood of him being a meaningful 3rd down back early on. He will need work there.

IRT Shipley, look at his skillset and not necessarily his production in 2023. Clemson's offense was more catered to Phil Mafah's strength's as a runner than Shipley's this year. Shipley was also beat up pretty good this year IIRC. Look at him as a fit for our offense. He's perfect for the Aaron Jones role. Like literally perfect for it.

beekay414 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Everybody sees different things when they watch guys. For example, I see way more NFL running from Will Shipley than I ever do from Jaylen Wright. Yet, Jaylen Wright is the guy everyone drools over (and will be wrong about in the end) and Shipley is the guy people "don't see it with." I'll confidently say that Will Shipley will be in the NFL for a decade and Jaylen Wright will wash out before his rookie contract is up. Wright is this year's Israel Abanikanda. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that. In fact, I'm pretty certain I've seen someone else say that here. Come forth!

persiandud Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 crazy to say any RB will be in the NFL for a decade, just based on recent trends for that position. i get your point regarding the player though. i'd draft shipley in the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
