2018 NFL Draft Prospect Discussion

Wow, that sucks. Didn't know it was shutting down.

Aren't all the videos going to remain on YouTube though?

Coming out of college, how would you rank Zeke Elliott, Saquon Barkley, Leonard Fournette and Dalvin Cook?  Strictly on the field.

Barkley, AP, Gurley, Zeke, Fournette, Cook

Barkley's that good, huh?

I mean, if you’re grading out of 100 you can make the argument that those 1st 4 guys are all a 98/99 grade if that’s what you’re going to assign them. And then at that point it’s just a matter of personal preference

Barkley is the best RB prospect I've seen in the last decade+

As an all around back, he's better than AP. Barkley is a great pass-catcher. AP was never great in the passing game, but Barkley is someone that can catch 50+ passes a year.

I'll be paying close attention to Josh Allen this offseason.  I know he didn't have a great season, and his accuracy stinks.  But if he shows well at the combine/senior bowl/pro day, he'll be on Duff's radar if he isn't already, and will most likely be there at 6 (I don't believe the Cleveland hype).


Disclaimer** - he's not my first choice and I would prefer to pass on him.  But I keep hearing the Jets spent a lot of time scouting him, so I'd like to be prepared in case he's selected.

I think the Senior Bowl will be huge for him. A strong week from him there could mitigate some concern, but certainly not all of it.

There's other QBs that I would certainly prefer there, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be able to talk myself into that pick if it were to happen.

And somehow I can't help but think that if we drafted Barkley, he'd turn into Ki-Jana Carter / Blair Thomas

[Derek Smalls]

Best RB prospects since 2007 (AP's first season)

1. Ezekiel Elliott
2. Todd Gurley (would have been No. 1 if he weren't coming off an ACL)
3. Adrian Peterson
4. Saquon Barkley
5. Trent Richardson

Elliott, Gurley and Peterson are better pure runners than Barkley. Barkley goes down a little too easily on first contact, and he disappeared in most of Penn State's big games this season. Don't get me wrong, he's an elite prospect, but we're comparing him against other elite prospects.

I wasn't nearly as high on Fournette. I thought Dalvin Cook was better.

I completely agree with the sentiment of this post but I'll be making little to no effort to evaluate Allen.

So I wanted to toss out this as an idea. If we lose Demario Davis this offseason for any reason, and sign a QB in FA, would anybody hate drafting Roquan Smith at 6?

Yes freak you, we're not drafting a low impact defensive player at #6.

Low impact?
