Gimme JCM and an UDFA in this class.

In mine, I called Harris a bust before he was drafted. :-) And honestly, even though i've never like him, in lieu of Aaron Jones, a vet "like" Harris wouldn't be a bad combo with a rookie like Henderson or Harvey.

5.25 - Ashton Jeanty ?

4.46 - Damien Martinez

4.43 - TreVeyon Henderson

4.42 - Kaleb Johnson

4.40 - Bhayshul Tuten

Tuten I’ve cooled considerably on. 5 fumbles and iffy pass blocker. Ball security is a relatively easy fix. Blocking might be technique or he just wasn’t asked to do it often. Regardless, in this class that a big issue.
