We drafted a 193 lbs RB that runs a 4.6

Sounds like a better Travaris Cadet.
There's your receiver, folks.

I didn't lie though. My initial thoughts are displayed in his weaknesses just below my post. Not saying he's gonna be a bad player, but nothing real exciting about it, especially with the stable of backs we already have. Will he really return punts over Cooks?

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Has the foot quickness and acceleration to make something out of nothing when called upon as a runner. Needs to play in space, but has quality traits for a runner, despite size. Has enough speed to turn the corner and hit a big run down the sideline. In passing game, mismatches inside 'backers with razor-sharp cuts to the sideline, creating easy throws for the quarterback. Looks to adjust his routes over the top of coverage if quarterback scrambles. Has excellent hands and concentration to finish a catch despite impending contact. Celebrated kick- and punt-return specialist with seven career return touchdowns at Missouri.
WEAKNESSES Needs to improve his reads and feel on stretch plays flowing outside. Small running back with limited amount of carries he can offer in a given game. Tends to float in space as a receiver rather than working back to the ball. Doesn't make the sharp, downhill cuts expected from him as a running back. Missed 2011 with a shoulder injury. He tries to get in the way as a pass blocker, but lacks bulk and strength to be trusted with blitz pickup on next level.
NFL COMPARISON Dexter McCluster
BOTTOM LINE All-purpose running back with a lean frame and a big heart. Showed consistency of effort and production during his time at Missouri. His value as a runner is limited due to his size, but he has the potential to become a legitimate target out of the backfield and might warrant some reps in camp as a slot receiver. Murphy can step in and immediately challenge for the top spot as a kickoff and/or punt returner.

Our return game is terrible so it can't hurt.

I know. But he was small and slow. This is a "heart" guy too.

Many have him as a top 5 pass catching RB and a solid return specialist.
Posted on 5/2/15 at 4:40 pm to lsutigers1992
Yeah! This draft is by far the weirdest under Payton

My point is while both ran a 4.6 5'10 220 isn't small. Pierre is not a small back.

I thought Pierre was more 4.7 range?
