What is your opinion of the Texas A&M kid Achune. He exhibited a lot of speed. I’m not sure how much A&M you’ve seen. He’s not a 1st round guy but he likely goes late 2nd early 3rd.
BPA on a team’s board is always safest. When teams get locked on searching for a position that’s when they can get into trouble reaching for a guy. A DT I have my eye on is Kancey from Pitt. He has a ton of fast twitch for that position. His size will keep him out of the top end of the first round. However, as a 4-3 3 tech he can immediately provide some pass rush inside. You hope he can add to his frame another 10-15 LBs in the next few years. Speaking of DT, have you guys watched much of Texas this year? I’m wondering your opinions on Moro Ojomo. He’s also an intriguing take at DT later. His numbers show some pass rush potential as well.
His diminutive nature can be an asset in a zone scheme. It’s easier for him to hide behind the big uglies and explode into a developing gap.
I'm not sure. I had just done some reading and was looking for more info from guys here who had seen him play.
Talk with the guys who do this for a living.
Good post. For the record, I’m averse to drafting a RB in round 1 because of much of what you cite. I would add that if you’re right and you have a great player on your hands you’re almost obligated to re-up (see CMC, Zeke). They’re still RBs though. They are a threat to drop off a cliff in their production. Now you have the added complication of skewing your cap allocation. Personally, RB isn’t a position I invest a ton of my cap on because of the reality that you can find a late round draft choice, mid round draft choice, or even undrafted RFA to run into the ground and then discard for another after you get that production.
Looks like 8 combined All Pros and 5 out of the last 8 rushing titles between the 2016 and 2019 draft classes. Were you trying to prove you should or shouldn't draft a RB in the 1st

Henry was rd2.
Even when they drafted him people thought CEH was a weird choice. Everyone assumed Swift or Taylor should have gone there. Swift would not have fallen in with all the other injured versions.
A lot of Chiefs fans were expecting CB there IIRC.
Last year's class was pretty deep. This year might be the deepest RB class I've seen. But then we might go five more years without seeing a class this deep so while I think you might be able to get a late round RB this year its definitely not something to rely on if its not a deep class. Most years you'll want to draft a RB top 50.
That would make sense, RB was strange, and the one they went with was even more strange.
Fell in love with a small sample size of a player surrounded by talent making plays in the most important game. A lot of people are doing that this year with CJ Stroud, tbh.
