Reid’s Top 50

What's the earliest Jadan Baugh could come off the board if he keeps this up?

Reid: A tough and rugged runner at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, Baugh has the makings of a top-20 pick. I think the Florida standout could go in the teens, as there are a lot of NFL teams that need a true RB1.

How good has Baugh been? Per ESPN Research, he became only the second player in the past 20 seasons with at least 100 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in each of the first four games of a season, joining Leonard Fournette (2015). After 142 yards and three touchdowns against Ole Miss, he now has 600 rushing yards and 11 TDs on the season -- both top-two numbers in the FBS. The clear RB1 in the class so far, Baugh has terrific contact balance and lower-body quickness. With back-to-back games with at least 25 carries, he has proved that he's capable of taking on a heavy workload.

I wish...I think Baugh goes in the teens.

Most likely

CJ's brother Tommy is starting for Michigan this Saturday, about damn time. Underwood has sunk the ship for Michigan last year and so far this year.

Underwood unfortunately never stood a chance. Kiss of death got him 😉

He's utterly horrible. HORRIBLE.

Oh God, don't hold back. There's nothing that hasn't been said that I haven't shouted at the TV or the dog hasn't heard. Yuck.

If I’ve done 50 mocks, and I have, at least 40 had an iOL in the second round. Between Brandel and the prospect, one plays C and the other replaces our current overpaid underperforming RG.

Sigh, I was hoping he'd chipper up this year, removed from his injury. He doesn't look good to me, but he got a really nice PFF grade. I think his contract makes him cuttable next year.

Give me this guy if we're going IOL again...

6'6 325 might worry some about height (ala banks) but he's pretty good about pad level already

Day 1 starter at C...

If we’re in the late 20s he’d be BPA and fills a need.

And I would place a very nice bet today thats exactly where we'll be drafting; mid to late 20's. Vikings get frequent looks at him and Lindsey both

Minimally a contract re-write...

This top 40 has such a fat top end and stays extremely sweet to and through 40.
