Running backs other than Gurley


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

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 is a good running back in a zone system. If you watch him run he runs very straight up and down and does not really run behind his pads at all.  He is fast and makes good cuts and seems to have good vision, it's hard to tell all the runs out of the spread if its good vision or just no one in the box anymore.

 

Honestly, if Gurley does not fall to 25, I would wait until the 3rd day to pick up a back.  A guy like Cameron Artis-Payne or, my personal favorite, Kalros Williams will probably be around in the 4th and maybe the 5th round.  Payne because he will be 25 before he ever plays in the NFL and Williams because he has only 2 years of playing experience at rb. 

 

I don't think their is much of a drop off in talent from a guy like Ajayi or Duke Johnson to Payne or Karlos Williams. 

 

I'm a homer.....but I wouldn't mind Mike Davis in the 4th or 5th.

I don't follow college ball in the slightest. I just go off cool sounding names and info that blue goose huddlers relay.

That being said, Jay Ajayi is my choice.

I feel like he had the potential to be both Super and Great. SuperAjayiTheGreat.

Ajayi, Buck, Taz, David Johnson, Davis, and Langford are all legit.  This draft at RB is damn good. 

 

You didn't even mention my favorite guy, Abdullah :)  Though if Gurley's all healed up he's an absolute monster and far and away the best prospect since AP.
