Something about him for sure. I get the same for Jack Sawyer. 

Same. Give me a guy with "good enough" talent with endless heart and non-stop motor who loves football over the elite athlete who is just there because he's good at it and it pays all day everyday.

Elite athletes with questionable motivation are the prototypical draft busts. Then again, just wanting it really bad isn't enough either obviously. You have to meet certain physical prerequisites but I don't see talent red flags with these guys. They're not elite talents and that's why they're not being talked about as first rounders but I'll be surprised if these guys don't at least have solid careers injuries aside.

Nothing says they can’t find a shiftier back and have this kid as the backup and heir apparent to Chuba 

I shared the info as many people on the board are fans of his 

who knows what they will do but at least they know they need to update the backs if at all possible 

when Chuba is out, it doesn’t typically end well

That would be a second-rounder on Brooks, whatever pick we use on Skattebo, and another pick on a faster back. That’s a lot to dump into the running back room, and that doesn’t even include the deal for Chuba.

Fug. Imagine Warren and Skattebo on the same team with Bryce for years to come.

Fill defensive holes in FA and let the draft fall where it may.

He plays grown man football. But I wouldn’t touch him till the 4th.  

Personally I think the O needs a scat back with big play ability, out of the backfield.
 

Preferably one without a history of ACL tears this time!!!

This kid can catch passes, block blitzing LBs, throw passes, and he runs hard.  I think he becomes a key rotational piece and not a backup.  And he is a dawg

Him and Warren lining up wildcat and other odd formations could really throw defenses for a loop depending on how creative Canales is.

Dang I retract my statement.  That’s a god tier vertical lol

I was about to say he put up a damn near 40 inch vertical and a 10'3 broad jump, even if he only runs in the 4.6 range the guy belongs in the NFL, not sure he will ever be an elite back but he definitely can contribute

He’s obviously got a big motor and a play style that is popular with fans.  But all the heart in the world won’t make you an NFL level athlete.  That’s my primary concern with him.  That regardless of the dog in him, he’s just not an NFL athlete at one of the most athletic positions.

He ran all over Texas. He will be fine.

I’m seeing the same “not athletic” argument for the same types of players. Wonder what the common denominator is?

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
