Sign me up for a hybrid rb/wr with 4.3 speed I thought the exact same thing. Scary true statement. They would look like twins running around out there.

Callidus Posted April 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 14 hours ago, Soxcat said: Gibson is ideal IMO if we can get him in the 5th. Guy can slide outside or play in the slot and he gives us a definite miss match with his sub 4.4 speed. Obviously a little raw but could develop into something special. With time he should be able to utilize his 228 pounds to be able to pass protect. If he has a decent head on his shoulders and the right work ethic I'd be all over drafting him. Gibson's teammate, Patrick Taylor might be a decent 7th round pick if we wait that long. Now the guy I really like is AJ Dillon. 250 pounds but run just over 4.5. 41 inch vertical is freak for a guy at his weight. Seems to be adequate as a pass catcher. But the thought of him and Henry putting welts on the craniums of the defenders sounds pretty cool and by the 4th quarter there won't be much defense left to stop those guys. Definitely worth a 3rd round pick. I am all in on dillon as the number 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed pretty reliable in the passing game. If we drafted Dillon and kept Blasingame as the number 3/fb our backfield will be fucking huge. I can't think of a team that has has 3 240+ pounders. With wheels to boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Patrick Taylor Jr. - Memphis Probably get him in the 3rd or even move up into the 4th. I know they're not reliable, but I've been able to take him in the 5th in sims. He doesn't have the speed and acceleration to blow doors off. Strong at the point of contact. Good hands, excellent vision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man scored a touchdown every 13 touches. "Receiving Skills - Production is pretty strong and he's actually been given some reps to work out of the slot or fold into open spaces before turning up field and looking for the ball. His hands are plenty big to catch away from his frame and he boasts the biggest arm length/ extension skill of any back in the class." https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/patrick-taylor-jr/D0U6vBx0cH He's closer to DH in size. I feel like if he gets around DH and starts getting stronger (NFL training), we could have an excellent duo. If you watch his highlights, he does these little slip moves without losing speed in the open field causing tacklers to miss. I see a ton of potential.

He isn’t a compliment to Henry though. If we are looking for a good value potential replacement for Henry then he is someone we might look at. If we are looking for someone to contribute day 1 as a 3rd down compliment to Henry, he’s not the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not bad and could be used out if the backfield from day 1 as a receiving threat. If he could develop pass protection ability he could be a great 3rd down back to be behind Henry.

Considering how worthless lewis was last year I do not see us in dire need of a true 3rd down back. Being able to bring the tractor out for a rest and plug in another tractor. Teams already don't want to tackle henry in the 2nd half . would love 2 see the buisness decision when they are trying to tackle 2 250pound backs.

Ehh we are paying Henry the big bucks to be that guy already. Lewis was worthless because he was trash. He didn’t play 35+% of snaps because he was giving Henry a break. He has a skill set that was completely opposite of Henry and we tried/had to use that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I don't know if they can afford to take a RB before day 3, unless they trade back to get an extra 2nd or 3rd. The CB class is deep, too. DL, OL leaves RB has to be too good to pass up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes. I would love swift but we have Henry so why draft another rb in 1? I would rather draft for another position and still get a rb later. We can find a complement to DH in later rounds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
