Recommended Posts

Royce Freeman RB Oregon ..

5'11 231lb 

947 att 5621 yards 5.9 rushing yards avg per rush.. 60 tds  79 rec. 814 yards 4tds..

 

Big back with okay hands.. Not a blazer or big play breaker.. But will be the punishing back you can match with Cmac to form a diverse back field.. He can carry the load and wear down the defense... He is a goaline beast.. He sniff thecrowning goaline and gets the TD by any means like Cam.. IMO he can come in day one and replace a cut J Stew for cheap... Highly productive in college being Oregon's lead rusher all time...

 Breaks tackles runs with a purpose ... Love the body type .. A solid 231 no fat.. Not tall at all so he doesn't give defenders a solid target to hit.. Stocky low to the ground at 5'11 so he can hide behind his blockers until he just they the line.. Good speed not great speed.. Does get caught from behind .. Hire the hole hard.. Reminds me a lot like Emmitt Smith and Stew ..

 

 

 

Could be had in the 3rd round right now .. Wouldn't touch him until then..

Using one of our 3rds on a RB would be the best value most likely, especially when weve been having guys like Jordan Howard, Kareem Hunt, Alvin Kamara go in the mid rounds . All the good backs will be gone by the time we pick in the 5th round or later (we dont have a 4th rounder this year)

I like Freeman too. Another dude that should be floating around the 3rd round is Kallen Ballage .

I wouldn't be opposed to taking him in the 3rd.

Another guy in that 3rd round range to keep in mind is Wake Forest DE Duke Ejiofor. Though, decent workouts will probably put him in the 2nd round due to the weak 4-3 DE class. I'd love to have him in the 3rd.

Yeah we will probably have to grab Duke in the 2nd.. After watching some game video he will rise fast..

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
