Ha! You know I'm going to love that one! I've been going on about this guy in the WR thread since the CU/CSU game Sept 2023. Some team is going to get a steal with him in the 3rd or 4th round. Hope it's us. [Reply]
Probably should have looked for depth other than repeat EDGE guys at the end, but it seemed the value was there.
I’m really interested in Kaleb Johnson. Many here, including myself, are interested in Henderson but I wonder if he’s an every down back. Remember when we went with CEH, a quick shifty back, over Jonathan Taylor who’s proven to be significantly more capable? Are we setting ourselves up for a similar disappointment bc we get overly excited about speed an gadget play ability? [Reply]

66 T.J. Sanders DL | South Carolina
95 Jared Ivey EDGE | Mississippi
132 Devin Neal RB | Kansas
256 Shemar James LB | Florida
Surprised that Loveland was available in this simulation. I didn't address CB, but with only 6 picks you can't hit everything and I took a (mostly) BPA approach while still trying to fill needs, i.e. if it was close I took a need, but didn't reach to do so. [Reply]

I am the opposite.
I have very little interest in Johnson, who is already a big-back who isn't incredibly quick or fast. I don't think he translates well to the NFL at all, and his ability to be a 3-down back is significantly questioned.
Henderson has shown everything you could need in a 3-down back. He's fast, he catches the ball well, he has proven he can pass protect, and he has been a productive runner, too. [Reply]

Iowa fan here. Love Johnson at Iowa, don’t want anything to do with him in the pros. Give me either Ohio State backs or Hampton. If they are not there I’d rather have Harvey or Gordon. [Reply]
I wouldn't mind this draft, provided they address LT in FA or trade. Traded down from 95 to get some extra picks that I doubt would last, but who knows with these things.
I keep finding myself going RB in the back of the 2nd, Milum at the top of the 3rd and Walker at the back of the 3rd.
If someone like Zabel slides, I look at him in the 1st and then find myself looking LB or CB w/ that Milum pick. Been taking Gillotte a lot in the 4th.
But too many of these databases are still wonky. I mean I just had one where I got Loveland at the back of 1 (okay, possible but not likely), Burch at the back of 2 (same) and then Donovan Jackson at the top of 3, Walker at the back of 3 and Barrett Carter at the back of 4.
Any ONE of those things seems pretty possible. Maybe 2 of 'em. But every last one of those guys feels like a slide and I just don't see that happening across the board like that.
Just feels like there's a lot to sort out yet before these boards have much meaning. [Reply]
I cant take the simulators too serious until at least post combine. Too many hard opinions on the built in boards in my opinion. Some snuck in homer takes lol. [Reply]
