I was all about Kendre Miller of TCU even coming off his injury but after the Pitt pro day I am now on the Israel Abanikanda bandwagon.

For the value, Dwayne McBride from UAB is an interesting prospect. Projected day 3 pick. Highly productive in college and a tough runner. Breaks a lot of tackles and has good contact balance. He’s not much of a pass catcher or wasn’t asked to do it in college.

Considering we signed Williams, and have Eno, I can’t see us drafting a running back with the other needs we have. It would be more likely we pick up an UDFA.

There are plenty of RBs in this draft. Spears would be good. We would need to pick up someone who can play special teams as he wouldn’t be a primary back.

Charbonnet out of UCLA. Runs hard with great pad level and has enough speed and wiggle to get through tight spaces inside the tackles.

I’d be content with any of the following:
Tyjae Spears - Tulane
Gibbs - Bama
Charbonnet - UCLA
Deuce Vaughn - Kansas State

I'm for looking in the bargain bin after the draft.

I like Tyjae Spears. If he is there by the 3rd round you definitely pick him. Otherwise stick with addressing other positions like tight end or linebacker.

I'm planning on head scratching picks and trade ups so I can be throughly surprised at the end of April to prove my expectations wrong.

Gibbs would be a great Kamara type guy but will go in the high 2nd and we have other needs. As far as value I would say if Charbonnet or Achane is there in the 3rd I would pull the trigger or if they look in the 4th or 5th I’d go Tyjae Spears, Eric Gray Chase Brown, Tank Bigsby or Roschon Johnson. This draft is really deep at RB so there’s no reason to waste anything but a day 3 pick on one because you can still find a really good player with the ability to one day be the starter.

I think we need to address other concerns while the big names are maybe still on the table.

Spears from Tulane could be a Kamara-like steal in this draft if we can grab him in the 3rd though. I really think he’s gonna be a Pro Bowl-level talent

On a field full of five star talent, Gibbs was consistently the best football player on the field. Give me him.

East Carolina RB Keaton Mitchell

Because of pure speed.




Auburn RB Tank Bigsby

Because he ran behind crappy Olines and still shined.
Marks a lot of boxs with his game.


Rounds 4 and 5 will still be good for talented Rb's .

Loaded RB class.

Bijan Robinson
Spears
Gibbs
Achane

With the pickup up Williams I’m guessing it’ll be later pick - so hopefully Vaughn out of k state in the late rounds

Charbonnet is my RB2 in this class. He can be a 3 down guy and catches the ball very well
