Prospect I like.. before combine edition.. 2

[WOW!!]

Royce Freeman RB Oregon ..

5'11 231lb 

947 att 5621 yards 5.9 rushing yards avg per rush.. 60 tds  79 rec. 814 yards 4tds..

 

Big back with okay hands.. Not a blazer or big play breaker.. But will be the punishing back you can match with Cmac to form a diverse back field.. He can carry the load and wear down the defense... He is a goaline beast.. He sniff thecrowning goaline and gets the TD by any means like Cam.. IMO he can come in day one and replace a cut J Stew for cheap... Highly productive in college being Oregon's lead rusher all time...

 Breaks tackles runs with a purpose ... Love the body type .. A solid 231 no fat.. Not tall at all so he doesn't give defenders a solid target to hit.. Stocky low to the ground at 5'11 so he can hide behind his blockers until he just they the line.. Good speed not great speed.. Does get caught from behind .. Hire the hole hard.. Reminds me a lot like Emmitt Smith and Stew ..

 

 

 

Could be had in the 3rd round right now .. Wouldn't touch him until then..

Hurney says we don’t need no stinking rb...

gonna sign Stew to a 10 year billion dollar deal

he sucks

Whatever we do, I'm all about NOT taking a running back early. Always plenty of options in the middle rounds. (sometimes better options)

[Hoenheim]

Using one of our 3rds on a RB would be the best value most likely, especially when weve been having guys like Jordan Howard, Kareem Hunt, Alvin Kamara go in the mid rounds . All the good backs will be gone by the time we pick in the 5th round or later (we dont have a 4th rounder this year)

I like Freeman too. Another dude that should be floating around the 3rd round is Kallen Ballage . 

[LinvilleGorge]

I wouldn't be opposed to taking him in the 3rd.

Another guy in that 3rd round range to keep in mind is Wake Forest DE Duke Ejiofor. Though, decent workouts will probably put him in the 2nd round due to the weak 4-3 DE class. I'd love to have him in the 3rd.

Jstew 2.0.  hes slow, has no burst.

Not a terrible thing. Would be a cheap as heck and young Stew replacement to complement McC while increasing McC’s role in the run game.

[LinvilleGorge]

If he's Jstew 2.0, that'd be a great 3rd round pick. 7000+ rushing yards and 50+ TDs out of a 3rd rounder? Hell yeah! Sign me up for that!

Yeah we will probably have to grab Duke in the 2nd.. After watching some game video he will rise fast..

Your speed back is Cmac.. You need a different back in other situation to change up the run game.
