Samaje Perine (RB OU) declares for the Draft.

This really is a good RB class....I hope the draft goes in such a way that we could get one in the 2nd or 3rd instead of 1st even though I really like Fournette the value of this draft reminds me  a lot of the Stewart draft.

I mean yea we love Stewart but a Forte in the 2nd is better value same with Charles in the 3rd.

I have him on my current list in the 3rd.

I need to do more research on him, but if he's a real quality back, I think I'd take his value in the 3rd. I can see us then going S in the first, DE in the second, RB in the 3rd, TE as the compensatory pick, and so on.

Quality back?  He just broke OU's All-Time rushing record set by Billy Sims.  He's damn good.  

Also, stop paying attention to your "Mocks."  He'll get picked before the 4th, damn good quality kid.

Pretty interesting. Wonder if we can get him by the third with that kind of precedent. 

I'd have to see him as a runner + potential, but I like where this is going so far.

Not saying that we should do it for him, but I have a feeling that g-man trades up for a late second Rd pick, or to get an earlier pick in the second if the right guy is there. The 49ers, bears, and Rams would likely trade back. He needs to nail this draft to quiet his critics.

I remember when Perine was in the same convo as Fournette and Derrick Henry coming out of their freshman seasons. Perine is a value pick, and I do agree, he will go earlier than the 4th.  I could see late 2nd depending on combine and pro-day. Amazing RB class....

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
