2025 NFL Free Agency and Draft: RB

[JustInTime]

Swing a dead cat, hit a legit RB prospect. Stevie Wonder could find a difference making RB in this class. Just insane.

I don't see it with Giddens: looks slow and lacks explosiveness IMO.

It’s funny you say that because earlier I implied the same thing about Tuten, who’s even faster.

There’s no Gibbs in the lot but I think we’ve got a couple of James Cook, Clinton Portis, Deuce McCalister types that could take the O to the next level. I think we get a good 30+ yards out of JJ a game on broken plays.

When a guy like Harvey doesn't even make the top 10, you know this is a good class. Been watching more Damien Martinez. I know you've liked him for a while, but his lateral quickness and agility is impressive for a guy his size.

I've reversed course a little after looking at more film...Treyveon Henderson is my guy. When you look at explosiveness, big play ability, weapon in the passing game, and blocking, he is the best fit for our offense and the big play threat KOC wants at the position. Give me the guy who can take a swing pass 75 yards to the house or stiffen up a blitzing linebacker coming through the A gap. He is a younger, faster Aaron Jones. If the cupboard is still bare heading into draft weekend and we haven't done anything at the position in free agency, I wouldn't mind doubling up and taking a bigger back to complement Henderson later in the draft where there will still be value.

I think he's more explosive than his running mate Judkins. But I would be happy with either. 

He might be there at 24, maybe not?  

All of this years RB's need to pay some homage to Saquon, King Henry and Gibbs for re-invigorating the position.

That's where I'm leaning. Address as much as possible in free agency then pull the trigger on one of these running backs in the draft and get McCarthy another weapon defenses have to account for.

100%

I just look at how Gibbs makes the lions so much harder to defend. 

Legit RB is way up there on the list of needs for JJM to succeed. 

What will the Vikings do if the DT from Oregon and Henderson are both there at 24? That'll depend on FA I guess.
