There’s a couple guys I really want to watch next year. Love. The 2 backs from Penn State. And Branch from USC. For starters.
Love is like a supercharged LeSean McCoy. Just a beast. He busted off that 98 yard TD run in the playoff game against Indiana on a hurt knee. Played the entire playoff with that knee in a brace. He'll be a Heisman candidate this year.
I was surprised both Penn State guys returned to school, but probably a good move with the draft talent in this RB crop. I'm sure they were well compensated to return

I know Kwesi was in Happy Valley at one point this year. Singleton catches like a WR at 6-1 and 227 ish.

It’s like he entered the Matrix.

On 40 and Free Agents MJD brought up a good point. Chicago’s RB coach is Eric Bieniemy. Mr No Block No Rock. His mock has the Bears going Henderson. Typically I discount MJB like a drunken uncle but man the dots make sense this time. Especially if Jeanty goes 6.

I think they grab a RB too - just not with their #1...
I think there will be too much D talent still on the board at that time to drool over. They can loop around for the RB in Rd2 and get a Judkins level guy
He's damn near a clone of Montgomery, would make sense.

Agree. Bears pick at 10. In the deepest RB class in memory, hard to see them burning a top 10 pick on a player whose consensus ranking is 42. Bears have two picks in the early 2nd round. That's where they'll get their back.

I take it all back if Jeanty makes it past The Raiders...

Well...yeah. Jeanty changes the landscape for every team I think.

Jamir Gibbs was ranked about that same area and nobody is complaining about the Lions using the 12th pick on him now. I view Henderson kind of that same way and why if the Vikings took him at #24, you'd get no complaints from me. You bring in someone that's an explosive playmaker and fits your offense perfectly, take him. 10 to 12 touches a game in rotation with Jones/Mason and also gives you vale as a kick returner under the new rules...sign me up
