Harris wants to play slot. Denver will offer accordingly. Some other team closer to a Super Bowl will play more for a great slot Cb in Harris

I just saw Aiyuk twice, but was intrigued with what I saw. Left guys in the dust.

I thought Dobbins was interesting. Maybe they like him if he falls to the 3rd, where we have 3 picks as of now. But he seems like he will be a 1st or 2nd rounder and I don't see us using that high of a pick on a RB with Lindsay and Freeman. That combo may not set the world on fire, but I think they are very capable and compliment each other well. But, I guess you never know what can happen in free agency.

From listening in to everything going on at the Combine it sounds like the rest of the league and the Broncos view a #2 RB as a big priority for the Broncos. They do not view Freeman as anything but an emergency RB. I personally would not use anything before one of our 3rd round picks but that is me.

Maybe JK is still sitting there late 2nd
Id trade up for him if they think he fits the shumer offense. I think he does.

There are a few solid prospects and fewer potential landing spots. You never know how the boards can shift after the combine and pro days.

My personal RB I would love to see is Cam Akers of Florida State in the 3rd round.

The guy deserves to go to a team with a great OL

Agreed. That Florida State OL was one of the worst I have ever watched.

I like him I do worry he is 'damaged'. Kind of like how Ronald Jones was at USC.

While a 4.28 is nothing to laugh at, Ruggs was slower than I expected.

I was a little disappointed that he didn't get a little closer to the record but honestly when you look at players that have ran the fastest at the Combine hardly any of them have done jack squat in the NFL. So speed matters but being able to stay healthy and do more than just run in a straight line matter more.

 

[CEH]

Did Ruggs lean forward at the finish like a sprinter ?

 

[Draft Crazy]

I really think we should. He won't cost much. He came on last year in our system. Would be a nice cheap depth guy who can rush the QB.

 

[Draft Crazy]

4.28 is flying. Nobody should downplay Ruggs with a 4.28. That is flat out flying. I didn't think he would beat John Ross record. Ross was a bit faster to me on tape, but not much. Hard to compare a 4.22 and a 4.28 guy. I am faster blinker then @SpringStein but nobody can even tell the differene because he is sooo fast too.

I want Ruggs or Lamb!! Ruggs, Lamb or bust in round 1.
