Derrick Henry Making Eddie Lacy Look Small

I rather have balance in size & speed but he has the talent to be a legit RB. IMO Seattle picks him up if they dont target a DT. J-Stew has couple years of high production, rather have him than any other RBs in this class beside Elliot.  

I'm a wee bit concerned they do, but not overly for several reasons.  They have bigger needs (their OL!!!!!), DT, and a replacement for Irvin among them as GLARING needs.  Henry also wouldn't be as successful there because their interior OL is hot trash.

Glad rags can type, 100x better than me at trying to get my point off.

If NFL was a fashion body league, Henry would be a top three pick.

I'm very curious as to how he turns out in the NFL no matter where he goes anyway. There's bunch of people saying hes an iffy pick or bust but he had lot of good running in college . Just wont know until I see him play at NFL level.

 

I think it depends on the system he goes to. Look at Demarco Murruy last year. He clearly did not fit Chips shotgun running system. I think Melvin Gordon is another good example. He has clear talent but he just doesn't fit the Chargers at all

Damn that boy big

Rags mentioned it.  The only thing that concerns me about drafting Henry, is if our current starting tackles are blocking for him.  We would need an O-line that can straight up blast holes open.  Oher and Remmers just aren't the kind of tackles who could consistently power through their men or contain the edge.  I wish there was some way we could draft Spriggs and Henry.  Kind of like what we did in the 2008 draft with Stewart and Jeff Otah.  Jason Spriggs would start at LT and Daryl Williams at RT, giving us the power we need for Henry to get that running start and wreak havoc.  Though I think Cam and Henry running the read option would help in creating the holes.

I, for one, will not pretend to be a NFL level talent evaluator. All I'm saying is I would get excited to see that dude carry the ball.

Stewart, Whitaker, CAP, Tolbert

Besides JStew which of these guys are better than Derrick Henry? Late round picks, a fullback...

Sure he played at Alabama...they use up their RBs in college blah blah blah. 

I would love to see this big summabitch in our backfield learning and splitting time with JStew. 

This is honestly the best way to put it at this point.  Get me to draft day dammit haha.
