Which RB will have the better career (Bijan or Gibbs?)

[Clayton]

Robinson had 6.1 Yards per carry last year. Only 19 receptions but a whopping 16.5 yards per catch. 4.41 40 time.
Gibbs also had 6.1 Yards per carry last year, 44 receptions at 10.1 yards per catch. 4.36 40 time.

Bijan is a bit bigger than Gibbs. Generally considered the better prospect although both drafted high in rd1.

Picked Bijon slightly better than Gibbs but my real opinion is whichever guy can stay healthy. I admit that’s a cop out though so I lean Bijon.

This. Plus, Bijan has the better pro build IMO.

As far as the college stats, I'm guessing Robinson could've run for more ypc behind 'Bama's line.

Maybe, but Rochon Johnson had 6.0 yards per carry behind Texas oline so its hard to say that was a bad setup. Either that, or Johnson is also really good.

A bit of both I think. I really wanted Roschon for either the Bills or Rams.

Robinson, but only because he went to the Falcons.

Out on a limb Gibbs slightly. Oline and Offense is better right off the bat.

I really like Gibbs as a prospect. I didn't think they looked all that different on the college field. Robinson is a little bigger on paper. When the Eagles traded up a small part of me went "woh for Gibbs?" Thought Howie may have got spooked about missing on the RBs. I'm used to Howie drafting similar to my rankings.

I like both these guys styles. Quickness thru the hole and good vision usually works in this league.

Robinson will go into the offense that will almost certainly run the ball the most next year. That said, Gibbs might have less defenders aiming at him if they have to deal with Amon Ra St Brown

I think Bijan is going to be Ladanian Tomlinson. I think Gibbs is going to be a Pro Bowler a few times. So I said significantly better

If that actually is true I wonder if we're going to be talking about the Lions draft for years to come as a team that got 'too cute' when they had a Hall of Fame prospect and traded down.

Very confident I will be.

I don't think we have to wait for the they got too cute takes. Those ran wild seconds after the pick. I do think it will continue to get worse. Gibbs will have an awesome career, but I think Bijan, barring injury, is going to be an all-time great.

The Lions Front Office acted like they won the Super Bowl with that Gibbs pick. I wonder if there are memes out there already

They do that every year. At this point, I think they feel like they have to continue doing it or fear the new draft picks will feel unloved.

The best running back prospect in many years till proven otherwise.

You just called Bijan a pussy?

Both backs are considered excellent runners and receivers, but I had Gibbs personally ranked as #1, mainly due to his speed. Not quite Chris Johnsonesque, but close and he's a bit more stout. Comparing how the two produce should make for a great side story this year.

Robinson outweighs Gibbs by 20 pounds.

When I used the words 'a bit more stout' it was comparing Gibbs to Johnson, not Robinson.

Depends on who gets the most snaps/touches...
