3rd round? Sure. Any higher? Please no.

You seem to keep up with the draft a good bit, I'm curious to which RB you like (if any) and which round?

I keep seeing Penny listed as possible the 5th or 6th RB in the draft.  Will that make it to our 3rd round?

If you like a guy and deem him the BPA, you take him. I like how you Huddle scouts always say "Not in X round (blah blah blah)." Of course you're looking for value, but if said guy is one whom you believe will make the greatest impact when you're on the clock, and you don't believe he'll be there next time, you take him. That being said, he'd be an excellent third round pick. 

I'm waiting for the day when a team drafts:  

K,C,C,K,K,C,K because they went BPA.

Something tells me I'll be waiting awhile.

The only RB that I'd want earlier than the 3rd round would by Sony Michel of he was there in the 2nd. We just took a RB #8 overall last year. Hurney made the mistake of sinking too many resources into that position last time around. Let's hope he doesn't repeat that mistake.

Every coach and GM screams BPA. It's not like they're going to admit that they drafted a guy who they thought wasn't the best player available.

I would agree with be hesitant on spending a 1st or 2nd on a RB, I'm just not sure who most likely will be there at our 3rd pick.  The names normally listed around here might be gone by then.  I'm thinking someone like Ballage.

As a backup running back cool. However we don't need another running back like cmc. They both struggling against breaking tackles. We don't have the oline like Dallas. I hope we get a running back like lynch, young stew that can break tackles and run threw people if needed.

He doesn't seem anything like CMC to me.  220lbs on a 5'11" frame.

Does anyone have any yards after contact numbers on him?

Overall, he's much more like Stewart than CMC. He's not a very good option in the passing game, and has no real speed burst. If he's there in the 3rd he may be a good choice though.

Read what I wrote again. I did not compare their size.  I said they lack the ability to break tackles. Once contacted they usually go down.

Penny can play and he has some speed.  Do want.

I think Ballage is probably more likely to go in the 5th or possibly even later. He's a great athlete but he's honestly not much of a football player.

based on what?  have you seen all of his games?  not trying to argue, all I've I seen is a few highlight videos.

Doesn't PFF have a yards after contact stat for college players?  anybody seen anything like that on him?

 

[WOW!!]

Love him in the 3rd ..
