He is a beast but the concern I have is he almost averaged 30 carries a game last year.

Yeah I agree. I'd hate for him to be like Brandon Jacobs.

He only really carried it alot last year. Its not like he did it all 4 years and is burnt out. Seems to be alot of Bama bias here, and I hate Bama. I think he has fewer carries than all the top backs coming out. I hate the Jacobs comprison too, i just dont see it.

Not that I want Henry in the 1st. I'd take him in the 3rd or later. But...what does this even mean?

 

Jacobs had a pretty productive career in NY. He may not have played 10 years. But how many RB play that long? He had 6 pretty good years. Not bad.

If he is still there at 60-whatever, go ahead.

 

 

You know what?  I take that back.  WhateverTF Gettles does I am good with. 

 

You people worry too much.

Actually enjoyed this one.  Most seem to put a player with the team of their choice and then backfill them to justify why a particular player will end up with whatever team.

What I found interesting was Henry would be available here.  Only thing that scares me is I heard someone mention his name in the same sentence as Eric Shelton, our 2nd round bust many years ago.

Maybe, but the question you should be asking is, how much longer will that be the case?

Long enough not to worry about these backs.

Imagine our goal line packages

Henry and Shelton have literally nothing in common. Its a ridiculous comparison, just someone citing a player we drafted at rb that was a bust. Hurney drafted lots of those in round 2.

Actually I have heard that Henry runs upright just like Shelton did so it isn't a ridiculous comparison.

Elliott is much better. 

i think this is going to be our pick if he falls to us . with almost every pick gettleman makes other than star , people alway criticize it 

not in our scheme , henry is a better fit for us than elliot

A lot of runners ran/run upright, including Eric Dickerson (and I could go on). That's not a litmus test.

True and a lot of running backs dominate in college and ain't worth poo when they reach the NFL.

Just for the record,  I would not be upset if we did draft him.
