I like him, a lot 

Hurney likes one smash and one dash type runner. I suspect he will be inspecting Michele, who I would much rather have than Penny. Penny is likely around on Day 3 however so if we have extra late round picks, I will make no bones about doubling up on quality running backs. Both Penny and Michele would be upgrades over CAP.

I bet he makes it to the 4th or 5th. After the top talent is gone, Running Backs are still dropping. No one is drafting a second string running back before round 4.

I Like Guice, Penny, and then Bo Scarbourgh later... Bo is a big sleeper.

I like this kid and the Tennessee one Kelly.

You must have forgotten about all the 3rd round running backs that have come in and been some of the best backs in the league the past few seasons

I like him better than Chubb

Yes please, but later rounds need S-DE-OL first and maybe CB.

I would love for him to last till them but I would be shocked if it happened.

i have my doubts that he last to our 3rd round pick.

How many running backs do you expect to go in the first 3 rounds?

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. 

The BPA argument seems like a bit of a cliche that a GM can use to defend any pick they make. To put it another way has a GM ever admitted selecting need over BPA? It comes down to individual assessment and ultimately any selection will be deemed BPA until it doesn't work out. Since assessment of picks is usually considered too soon if it happens within 3 years of a rookie season BPA seems like a good way of making yourself unaccountable for bad decisions.

 The BPA vs need debate has given Panthers players like Butler and Shaq in recent times.
