The OFFICIAL 2016 College football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

I dont agree with that you can't put all these RB in a bubble. Some of these RBs are way better than the typical ones and warrant being selected high. Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette should be top 15 picks.

But I actually think you're better off with two solid backs then building your team around a great one

Offenses built around backs are easy to scheme against in playoff games. You don't need a great back in fact the most important job of a back in today's nfl is picking up the blitz it's not even run ability in this passing league

Thats what separates Zeke from most great backs and will be day 1 ready.

He's damn good It's not a knock on him you just can't pick a back top 5 in today's nfl. The positions been devalued

They said his 40 was slow, and vertical to low. Saw this early though

Unless you think Bosa is gaining 25 lbs and moving to 3-4 DE, the comparison is invalid.

4.86 at 269 lbs is TERRIBLE.

That cac gon be a bust like I said last year.

building around two solid backs mean you have to be great at the QB and honestly theres not really great play at the QB right now. If I'm a gm I probably opt to get a RB who's going to give you 1000 yards off the gate with getting paid the rookie scale and when his contract is up maybe draft another Rb or if he's a AP level back pay him it still better than paying an above average QB like Matt Ryan 100 plus.

Elliot seems perfect for the Cowboys they have a Qb and a o-line and he has all the tools. His personality also fits with the Cowboys

yea because you're great at evaluating talent... don't Tennessee have 6 or 7 NFL WRs & Dodd is a top 5 pick right now?

You really gonna act like 4.47 is much better than 4.48? Plus lets not act like Quez ain't the same size as your LB Darron Lee.

6'2.5" 223 lbs as a wide receiver and running 4.48 = beast

That's better than your slow ass unathletic receivers Michael Thomas and Braxton Miller.

Marquez North will be drafted in the 3rd-4th round this year. Pig Howard will be drafted in the late rounds (6-7) and Von Pearson will make a roster as an undrafted FA. So that's 3 already.

The other 3 are on campus (Preston Williams, Josh Malone, and Josh Smith).
