Who's Your Stick and Pick Player?

[MAD GAINZ]

Surprised RB is getting so many votes. And one running back in particular, Henderson. Yet consensus has Hampton at 22 and Henderson at 42. But I couldn't agree more. I've had Henderson as RB2 for months and would definitely take him over Hampton. 

Henderson is going to be interesting to watch on draft day. Consensus says you can trade down and get him, but he's also one of the cleanest prospects in this class. I think he'll go earlier than expected.

“They LOVE, LOVE him in that program. He’s unselfish, really productive, can play on all three downs and is about the team first.”

"I'm hearing now from NFL teams, TreVeyon Henderson could be RB2 in this class".  "I said the last day at the Senior Bowl, I'm getting the sense talking to people in the league that this is a guy that enough teams are trying to already figure out where could he go, that he could wind up in round one."

Very good hands and puts a boom in his pass protection. If the Vikings were to take a RB this early, Henderson would be my preferred choice. If they decide to take one late: RJ Harvey. JMO, but I hope they pass on RB. I think its unlikely they'll draft one but not out of the question.

First quote sure sounds like a guy KOC would be interested in...

I'm also a Henderson guy, but I've learned to temper consensus picks. To the best of my memory, the last pick that nearly every Viking fan agreed upon was Matt Kalil. Maybe not a bust but a pretty unforgettable career.

I'm also a Henderson guy, but I've learned to temper consensus picks. To the best of my memory, the last pick that nearly every Viking fan agreed upon was Matt Kalil. Maybe not a bust but a pretty unforgettable career.

I liked Riley Reiff a little more that year. But he was a late 1st, early 2nd guy and Kalil was consensus top 5. I've since learned to ignore the groupthink. 

I called Kalil "LT101" because his technique was flawless. But I thought he was overrated because a big part of his resume included zero sacks given up his final year at USC. But if you really looked into it, you could tell it was much more due to the offense and Matt Barkley's efficiency than anything Kalil did. In fact that USC line led the league in fewest sacks allowed (and none of them went on to do anything in the NFL). If you watched his clips, Kalil got beat a LOT. They just didn't result in sacks. 

After his Pro Bowl first season, I thought, what the hell do I know.

I haven't chosen a stick and pick player in this thread because I think I'd be very ok with anyone. I have my preferences (interior O-line, DT) but I think a strong case could be built for whomever thanks to this free agency period.
