Running backs other than Gurley

[bababoey]

Karlos Williams is probably not on our draft board due to the domestic violence issue.  Yeah, he wasn't charged, but I still don't think JR will let Gettleman touch him.

 

You could be right.  Hard to say since no charges were filed.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

This is one of the deepest RB drafts I've ever seen. I still say Mike Davis would be a steal on the 3rd day. Kid was in the Heisman running for a while his Sophmore year and fits how we run the ball.

We know we're drafting a running back.  If we don't get Gurley, who are the other targets?

 

these are the ones we know we've met with

 

The Dakota kids and Hill will be late rounders.  Allen, Coleman and Johnson are mid-rounders.

 

 

 

 

RB

Zach Zenner, South Dakota State (Shrine Game)

John Crocket, North Dakota State (Shrine Game & Pro Day)

Javorius "Buck" Allen, University of Southern California (On Campus)

Telvin Coleman, Indiana University (Private)

Todd Gurley, Georgia (On Campus)

Keyshawn Hill, Sam Houston State (Pro Day)

Duke Johnson, University of Miami (Combine)

 

 

 

Who fits our system best?

 

and have we not met with Melvin Gordon, Jay Ajayi, Abdullah and the Alabama kid, all of whom have

2 or 3rd day potential? 

 

Jay Ajayi

[Panthro]

I'm on the Buck Allen train

 

This is simliar to the same train Fiz was on for Ryne Robinson

 

[JawnyBlaze]

My preference, in order, is: Abdullah, Ajayi, Duke Johnson, Mike Davis, Buck Allen,Tevin Coleman

Yea, not a lot of people are talking about Mike Davis, but I like him a lot.  Disclaimer:  I have no affiliation or affection for USC, I don't really follow a college team at all but if I did I would have to choose UNC cuz family.

the Sports Illustrated analysts on Duke Johnson:

"Ideally, Johnson would be both a rotational player and an every-down weapon—rotated around the formation to set defenses up for failure. Pro Comparison: Reggie Bush , 49ers (Round 1, 2006)"

Coleman .. BUT

I'm REALLY starting to like David Johnson (Northern Iowa) though....honestly suprised more people haven't brought up his name around here..

[section543]

I like Langford in the 4th

[MV%doe]

Ajayi, everyone is sleeping on the best RB in the whole draft(unless gurley knee is fully healed).

I wouldn't be shocked to see him drafted in the first, even first RB taken at that.

[Pazhoosier89]

Coleman is right up there close to Gurley for me. If he's there in the 2nd you take him. He played his last 7 games last year with a broken foot. Ran over 200 yards against Ohio State on that broken foot.

[Argus Plexus]

Id like Telvin Coleman myself

[KillerKat]

I'd rather we just go with what we have. I really liked what I saw from Fozzy and Reaves has potential.

DUKE JOHNSON

I am bias but Duke is the best of the rest....he is going to be very very good like a mix of Mccoy and giovani bernard.
