2015 NFL Draft - Running Backs

No he didn't, Ingram has always been good. He was simply over shadowed by their other RB's and Brees, but once he got his break he ran with it.

 

What? Wow thats terrible to say. Yeldon is good, perfect compliment to Sankey.

 

How is that terrible to say?

Again, it's all about the value. In the 4th round, I'd be fine taking him. Doubt he's there at that point, but that's the only way I'd take him.

What was so bad? That I said I liked Derrick Henry better? Be sure to check him out when he starts for Bama this season. He's better than Yeldon.

 

Yeldon rolls his hips upon contact, thats a great ability to have, he's probably going to get very few negative runs in the pros, guy can make his own yards, thats PERFECT for the Titans with that sloppy OLine.

Id even say he's the 3rd best RB in the draft, no way he lasts til the 4th. If we like him enough, he's our 3rd pick, but he may not even last til then so I doubt we get him but if we did I be trilled. He's exactly who we need.

 

How could you possibly not like him? Scared he's another Trent Richardson?

 

I don't like Yeldon either. To me he runs too upright, like he doesn't run balanced enough with a good center of gravity. His body type to me looks more like a WR than a RB.

 

I'm not scared he's another Richardson... because I know our FO wouldn't even consider Yeldon until late 2nd or 3rd round. He's not going to be as expensive and we wouldn't have to fully commit to him like you'd have to with Richardson. But...

2Tone summed it up pretty well. I don't see Yeldon being the least durable with his style of running.

Again, you can't ignore the fact that every RB has looked awesome at Bama in recent years... and in the NFL, not so great (other than Lacy). Lacy was my favorite of the Bama RBs, and I wanted us to take him in the 2nd. Couldn't believe he fell as far as he did to the Packers.

 

he's slippery tho, he's not all ground and pound, he looks to avoid hits, but he does engage in them too so if he does stay hurt I wouldn't be shocked.

 

Chris Brown had the same style, actually even more upright and was one of the fastest RB's in the NFL to hit 1000-yards.

His running style isn't an issue IMO.

 

And Chris Brown was a 3rd round pick when RBs were more valuable... and he only lasted a couple seasons.

That's why I wouldn't take a guy like Yeldon until the 4th.
