Based on just a little bit of watching videos, kid is talented.  Dunno if we're spending a 1st round pick on a RB though... Maybe after watching more I'd see the value better, but RB is way low on my list of positional research atm, heh.  He seems quick as hell and powerful enough, very interesting prospect.

Except that he won't be there at 30.  If we're going to use a first round pick on a runningback, I would rather use it on getting Nick Chubb next year. 

Maybe we can get Chubb and Jake Butt.

 

The Chubbybutt draft.

He's not near Gurley's level and Gurley went 10th. Teams may look at what happened with Gordon and be weary of drafting a RB in the 1st. I agree, I doubt he falls to 30, but if he does we're on him and we're set for years.

I think he's gonna be on Trent Richardson's level...

I think your wrong the more I watch on this guy the more I think he will not even be a option. He runs over people on the outside,inside there is no arm tackling this guy he is a beast we would be lucky to get him but like I said I don't think he would be option at 30. But we will need to find out replacement at RB soon.

Houston will pick him before he gets to Panthers

As of now I'd agree.  IF he made it to 25 I'd trade a 3rd to Pitt to take him before the Hawks.  And this is coming from a guy who hated the idea of a RB in the 1st again.

But I don't see how he makes it to even the late teens.  And at that point we'd have to give a 2nd and I don't want that.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
