He’ll never be there, but interesting.

He doesn’t move the needle for me either.

He'd be a best friend to JJM after Jefferson and Darrisaw. 

I'd rather see Jeanty in purple & Gold than Chicago black and orange ;)

Honestly, we really need other positions b4 a RB. I'd have to see how FA went b4 I'd be excited about a move-up for a RB.

I did dance a jig when we got AP - I think he was 6th overall that year.

Well. 

If everything is fixed in FA, sure. 

If it’s not, this would be monumentally stupid.

MY RB5 for this NFL Draft Class:

R.J Harvey.

"He's one of those guys where, if you just watch his highlights, I don't think it does him a service."

This week, @MikeRenner_ introduced me to my new draft crush, Tenn RB Dylan Sampson. Full discussion on the pod!

Any other class and this guy is talked about consistently at RB3. Probably RB2.

“I think I’ll break the 40 record…4.1 or 4.20”

An even faster Ty Chandler? Dylan Sampson is interesting. Probably the first back I watched in this class. He's getting lost in the jumble of a dozen day-two backs. I like him, but Renner saying he's RB2 seems a bit nuts.

It will be interesting to see McGinn on the RBs and DTs.

As far as Renner goes, he might be getting cute here. I’m thinking outside the box. In no way is Sampson 2. Nope.

Quinshon Judkins, RB Ohio State on working on his pass pro so he can be a true feature back, then smirked when asked about his speed questions. He’s participating in all on-field drills at the #NFLCombine @AtoZSportsNFL pic.twitter.com/HoXn7x8Gld

Judkins is who I want the Vikings to take. Just something about him when he is on that field. He is special.

I don't think you could go wrong with either of the Buckeye backs. That goes for Jeanty and Hampton too. The only one I have questions about is Kaleb Johnson, but they're minor and it could just be me. I watched him right after Jeanty and that's unfair. Nobody is going to look good after watching that pinball.

I am still high on Neal and Harvey. For some reason Harvey seems to be slipping. I just hope we can get a trade back partner and take Judkins. You and I mirror the concern about Johnson. I wouldn't be happy if we took him

Ashton Jeanty on the Denver Broncos:

“Yessir, I would have no problem playing for the Broncos.”

What was it like meeting Sean Payton?

Not there? Wtf. Too busy refilling his prescription for douche extra strength capsules.

I thought if he came in under 5-9 it could drop him a bit. He's still RB1 by a mile IMO, but I wonder if this takes a little shine off.

Savion Williams has 10 ¼” hands and stands 6’4”, 222lbs.

Easy to see why he has the best contested catch ability in the class. pic.twitter.com/dOh7Du71O1

About what most of us saw on tape. 

Judkins 4.48 at 221 pounds is a nice time

Omarion Hampton is a RB prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial 9.93 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 14 out of 1909 RB from 1987 to 2025.

Exactly. Thor Nystrom and a few others have been touting Johnson as RB2 and a 4.43 guy. I don't know how you can watch 5 minutes of his clips and say that. I thought he'd be 4.53 at best. He's even slower than that.
