crap genes?

Fournette has some speed for a fatty. He's no megatron, but then who ever was.

Need speed. RB go vroom vroom!

Fournette is pretty fast for a bigger back. Shit's dope.

Kamara with the best performance. Watching more film on the kid. He seemed decent last time I checked. He'd be great if he was still around in the 3d.

Mixon didn't get a combine invite?

I've concluded that Kamara is a stud and I want him on my team. He's the full package. I would be ok with #52 used on him.

edit: not crazy about his fumble rate...like Cook and McNichols, it's a red flag. 3d round seems right.

I like your signature.

So if there are not any speedster backs, and we do desperately need a third down back, what do we do?

Mccaffrey just went full speed through a cutting drill.

No one compares to him in change of direction without losing speed.

i really hope he is the pick.

Is he really going to be a first rounder, Falco? Is that where he is slotted?

There is no way he is falling to the 2nd, unless it is something to do with teams not liking him playing in a bowl game.

His change of direction reminds me of a young Marshall Faulk.

Find a true every-down back?

I'd like to see it, but if I had to choose between him and Fournette it would be a very hard choice. I don't think we get either really.

I don't disagree, but those guys seem to go in the first round now, or again. RBs used to fall out of the first round but recent years is otherwise. It's weird.

I don't want a RB in the first round, but if BPA dictates it I'd get it.

Mccaffreys top speed is not his strength, 4.49. For a 40 doesnt mean much, its his speed when making a change in direction that is above most running backs.

Emmit Smith and J Rice both ran 4.5. But nobody ever caught them from behind.
