Yeah I think he gets drafted somewhere in the 3rd but I just think he could drop purely based on fit. Any team could use a speed back but I don’t think every team values a power back like Scat. Some team will get a Peyton Hillis type of runner, at worst a GL back or short yardage guy
He is a very specific fit but someone will target him in a trade up Id imagine. That said, it is possible his best characteristics are the things that might make people nervous. He is elite at extending plays with strength and balance but sometimes that gets you in trouble in the NFL. I think you'll see some teams will early 3rd round grades on him and some with very late round grades.
Yeah, it was my primary need, and every round I had a list I would take for the Chargers, and each round they had been gone each time. Still have 2 more really like that fill different needs as well.
I see him a lot like David Montgomery. Nothing elite that makes it so he can do it alone, but very good contact balance so if he is behind a good line and is against DBs more often he can be really dangerous. Saw another comparison to James Connor that I really liked.
Yeah, Ive seen the James Connor comp on Kaleb Johnson. I think a James Conner comp is a rd2 prospect generally. He is a solid pro.
Scattebo is a good football player, I just wonder how his style is going to translate to the NFL game. In college, if there wasn't a hole, he would make one. He doesn't have the frame to make that work for long at the next level
His one-cut-and-go reads are pretty good though. With how they use RB by committee, I think he’ll appeal to teams that run an old-school Shanahan stretch zone system. San Francisco, LA Rams, KC and Miami all stand out as teams that I think he’d fit well with.
I thought about trading up for him with KC.
I almost took him as a guard
