Missed this kid doing my own internet sleuthing on college prospects but when we drafted him thought his clips showed a nice combination of speed and power to compliment CMac. Glad to see him show it in his debut.

Really think him and Goodwin can be good late round contributors on this, and even future rosters. Even more than Miller imo.

So here's my issue, the team was looking for a CMC clone and drafted a power RB.  Was he a reach based on what was left?  Scarlett has the power to move a pile, but if you look closely, he's very tight-hipped.  He may have made some second and third string Bills look average, but can he do that against a starting defense?  Instead of getting a CMC clone, we got a CAP clone.  Holyfield is in that same mold too.  The only RB that's even close to a CMC-type is Bonnofon and he's raw...a college QB and WR if memory serves me correctly.

That play on 2nd and 18 was grown man football. Preseason or not that is good field vision.

So let me get this straight.  You take offseason coach speak as gospel truth?

Nope, not in the least, but considering the offense flows through CMC, you would think getting someone in that same mold would make sense if the big "I" were to occur.  That's my biggest problem with this team, they put all their eggs into certain positional baskets and when the starter gets hurt, things turn to utter crap.

My question to you: based on one preseason game against backups, if CMC tears his ACL against the Rams, you are all-in on the Scarlett hype train?  Heck, just last week Holyfield was the second coming of Berry Sanders.  

You all here get too up or too down on players based on preseason.  Greir's now the next Ryan Leaf and Scarlett is headed to the HOF.

Nope.  Go search my posts.  Have never been on the Holyfield train.  And have been intrigued by Scarlett since we drafted him.

I like his running style.  And Holyfield isnt in the ballpark of  Scarlett. 

My apologies for my original post being a little rough.  But I have watched a ton of tape of Scarlett.  Is he the next Kamara?  No.  But he could be an adequate replacement if CMC went down.  It would have to be a Scarlett and Bonnafon combo.  But that’s the case with most elite RB’s.  You just aren’t going to replace them with one guy.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
