Brett Kollman’s draft recap.


Recommended Posts

He's a little off on Scarlett, compliment I 100% agree, however...

Christian McCaffrey is listed as 5'11'' / 205 lbs (NFL.com)

Jordan Scarlett is listed as 5'11'' / 208

You hear / read a lot about how he just ''runs over, and trucks defenders'' that's not really his game, he is a very physical runner, but timed faster than McCaffrey (4.47 vs 4.49) he's a very similar style of runner, but has a little more power to his game, but not enough to talk as though he's going to plow through defenses. 

If anything the road grater would be Elijah Holyfield(5'10 / 217) - https://www.nfl.com/prospects/elijah-holyfield?id=3219484f-4c79-9542-5012-235f6662a469

Scarlett is more of the same when it comes to running with an added level of physicality, but minus the receiving ability that CMC possesses, he' s compliment in the sense that we don't have to get too far away from what we run on the ground when we spell CMC.

I'm a big fan of the pick, and for all the talk about ''atrocious'' hands as a HB in the flats, swings, and generally close to the LOS, it's something he can improve. 

I am very excited about the potential of our backfield, I'd like to see these ^^^ make up the main depth. CAP is 29, and Hood is coming off an ACL.

Players can be similar in size and speed but be totally different styles of players.  Yes, they are both roughly similar in size and speed but to me Scarlett is more of a downhill one cut back and I would say CMC is more of a scat back with moves but still as we have send power to break first tackle.
