If we could land Bryce Love in the 4th round it could be an absolute steal! He backed up cmc for 2 years at Stanford and would be the fastest back in the nfl if he recovers well from his acl injury 

Bryce Love suffered a torn right ACL in the Cardinal's regular-season finale and won't play this year.

I don't think we're going to to be spending any draft picks on players who basically need a medical redshirt year. Hurney and Rivera need to win now.

[TheRed]

I do not at all care for the idea of investing another high pick in the RB position after drafting one in the top 10 only 2 years ago.

We have other needs, and teams across the league are showing you can be successful running the ball without sacrificing substantial resources.

[TheSpecialJuan]

Vision -Can be prone to looking for play-side bounces to the strong side, where backside cuts may provide him with more room. Often presses too quickly and works into the back of his blockers. Stunts his own momentum prematurely when he's forced to read the POA.

Feet/Change of Direction -Has ability to string his cuts together with effectiveness and shows admirable ability to collect his momentum through one cut and into the next. Does not have a lot of explosion or burst through his cuts, however and can miss holes as a result.

Balance -Has some of the most unbelievable reps in collecting himself off of contact. Runs with a very low center of gravity and shows urgency through the box to stay ready for contact. Aggression to attack tacklers in one on one situations aids his efforts to stay upright.

Elusiveness -Slippery and illustrates excellent contact balance. Has eaten tackle challenges in his grill and sustained his balance to work for extra yardage. Pretty fluid in his lateral cuts and knows how to diminish his surface area to absorb blows and wiggle free of tacklers.

Receiving Ability -Soft hands. Was targeted quite frequently in delayed crossing routes and shows good snap out of his vertical stem to break free against LBs. Was schemed some quick targets with motion to create him touches in space.

Short Yardage Skill -Can typically be relied upon in "have to have it" short yardage plays to make the first arriving defender miss and ensure he's falling forward. Runs the feet hard and shows really good lower body strength to uproot a tackler and push the pile.

Is that definite that he will miss the whole season??

I don't think we really have any interest in finding a classic powerback to compliment CMC. We had that last year and barely used him before cutting him. I think we're going to try and find a poor man's version of CMC to be our #2.

 

Ron said something a month or two ago to find someone who is similar to CMC so that when he leaves the field, and big power back comes in, the D can't just load the box.  Maybe Montgomery's pass catch ability does that.  I was expecting more of a wily speedster.

Bryce Love would be that when he’s healthy Fastest back by far in draft

Heard Love will probably go on PUP and be ready the second half of season.  Would be a dream pick that we would not have to change the offense when CMC is off the field and could also use both together with one in the slot.  The new duo of ....Salt and Pepper.

To get 2 carries a game?  Great idea

Welcome to the inside of Hurneys brain.

I’m hoping we can pull a full power RB verging on an actual FB sometime this draft. I like using TE’s but I’d really like to see us go with a true fullback that can RB when we want to swing CMC in the slot.
