Brett Kollman’s draft recap.


Recommended Posts

He's a little off on Scarlett, compliment I 100% agree, however...

Christian McCaffrey is listed as 5'11'' / 205 lbs (NFL.com)

Jordan Scarlett is listed as 5'11'' / 208

You hear / read a lot about how he just ''runs over, and trucks defenders'' that's not really his game, he is a very physical runner, but timed faster than McCaffrey (4.47 vs 4.49) he's a very similar style of runner, but has a little more power to his game, but not enough to talk as though he's going to plow through defenses. 

If anything the road grater would be Elijah Holyfield(5'10 / 217) - https://www.nfl.com/prospects/elijah-holyfield?id=3219484f-4c79-9542-5012-235f6662a469

Scarlett is more of the same when it comes to running with an added level of physicality, but minus the receiving ability that CMC possesses, he' s compliment in the sense that we don't have to get too far away from what we run on the ground when we spell CMC.

I'm a big fan of the pick, and for all the talk about ''atrocious'' hands as a HB in the flats, swings, and generally close to the LOS, it's something he can improve. 

I am very excited about the potential of our backfield, I'd like to see these ^^^ make up the main depth. CAP is 29, and Hood is coming off an ACL.

Players can be similar in size and speed but be totally different styles of players.  Yes, they are both roughly similar in size and speed but to me Scarlett is more of a downhill one cut back and I would say CMC is more of a scat back with moves but still as we have send power to break first tackle.

    • Anybody got a clue what this is supposed to mean? 🤔
    • I figured as much. Hopefully he's just resting up and will be ready for round 3 (if we make it that far.)  Sucks to see. Hes been our best defender (besides Slavin) in the playoffs so far.
    • I've never bought into the idea. There's just too much at stake, even for front office people. Jobs are lost, trust is lessened, lives are altered, reputations are damaged and more. Throw in that the average front office person isn't as young as the average player. They may not have ten years ahead of them to salvage their careers. Any given year could be their last. The only person not guaranteed to suffer some direct form of consequence from losing is the owner, and even there you still have problems (fan reaction, team reputation, revenue, etc). You've also got massive egos in play on that front so it can get personal. Mind you, I do accept that there are "fire sales" in order to build for the future, but even those have consequences. They don't exactly guarantee success either. Poorly run teams often just wind up in the same circumstance a few years down the road. Sorry gus, but my tinfoil hat just hasn't fit me for quite a while.
