here are the backs we know we've met with

 

RB
Josh Ferguson, Illinois (Shrine) Proj Round: 3rd-5th

Kenyan Drake, Alabama (Senior Bowl) Proj Round: 3rd-4th

Derrick Henry, Alabama (Workout) Proj Round:1st-2nd

Tyler Ervin, San Jose State (Private) Proj Round: 3rd-5th

Kenyan Drake would be a huge steal in the 3rd and a huge upgrade at the Fozzie position.

dem high standards though.  you datin a super model?

The reservation I have of Henry is the lack of catches, to be honest. I like my running back to be more of thread on passing situations, especially on third down.

I'm not as anti-RB in the 1st as most people here, and I wouldn't be upset if Gettleman pulled the trigger, but I won't be ecstatic about it, either. I'll just have to put faith in the front office on this one.

Quite a few HOF RBs don't meet your criteria. Just sayin".

We need a DE.  Bpa aside next year is a deep rb class right?  I def would prefer a DE if there is a bpa tie with an rb

The second contract part or the 3 years of at least 1000 yards in a 16 game season part?

I like the analysis, but my biggest take away is that there are pretty much an equal number of RB hits and misses in all those rounds. That means it's about drafting the correct RB. If GMan think Henry is the right RB then good. If not...then also good.

The "I personally, would want them to reach a second contract with their original team, because that shows that their original team wanted them around" part.

CJ2K fell off a cliff after his 2000 yard season. The only RB where there is absolutely NO debate/Caveat/Asterisks about worthiness is Adrian "Child Beater" Peterson. 

 

1. How is 4 more 1,000+ seasons falling off a cliff?

2. Point to any child, and I would beat them right now, without breaking eye contact with their mother, to have drafted AP.

I Pi'd this but didn't read all of it. I have too much to do.

I should have added "or got a big contract from their second team" That's the umbrella where Lynch falls under andit's not as important to me as multiple productive years.

Great stuff with this post, bravo on the work man!

I appreciate the analysis, but, and I may be off base, the same can be said about most positions in professional football.  Its just speculation.  I have nothing to back it up.

Yeah, you are correct.  Some positions hit a little more than others but most positions are around the same failure percentage.
