Seen a lot of Brian Westbrook comparisons. Shifty, great vision, and he killed every agility event at the combine. Biggest knock seems to be that he never got yards after contact.

He is probably overrated in terms of the top 20 love he's been getting post-combine. Westbrook was the same height & weight and turned himself into a back who could close out games and go between the tackles when needed. I think a teams gonna jump the gun and bet on McCaf doing the same.

ppl hate comparing black and white players, but yea i see a lil B West wiggle in him.

Smh Brown gon take this guy #1 and a overrated cac QB at 12 and it will bring the franchise back another 5 years. Feel bad for y'all honestly.

I have mixed feelings on Watson/trubisky going 12 but what else could you do other than Garrett number one?

I mean for once I think we got the right guy in hue but we're probably gonna be garbage for the next 5+ years anyway.

TBH i'd trade one or both picks for muitiple 1st rounders. They're basically being forced to pick Garrett who's overrated because of his hype, Trubisky who is overrated because yu "have" and to take a QB for he future.

The guy who took Mario Williams over Reggie Bush had balls, people were ready to burn the mans house down because he didn't take Bush, we all kno Bush ended up being overhype. I love Bush tho

I'm not gonna pretend that I know any more about Garrett outside of scouting reports, highlight tapes and the combine but he seems to check every box as at least a solid pro.

Honestly I don't want to trade down again. We can have anyone, just grab the guy you like the best, even if it's not Garrett. Everybody thinks we're retards anyway lol.

James Conner will be better than Fournette. People will learn soon that Fournette doesn't really love football. And he's not very good at seeing holes or making people miss one on one. I'm not saying he'll be a complete bust like Trent Richardson. But his NFL career will be closer to Richardson than Adrian Peterson.

Swag's Top 5 RBs in the 2017 NFL Draft

1. Alvin Kamara (Tennessee)
2. James Conner (Pittsburgh)
3. Joe Mixon (Oklahoma)
4. Christian McCaffrey (Stanford)
5. Leonard Fournette (LSU)

Sleeper: Matt Dayes (NC State)
I watched Kamara vs Virginia Tech recently and he was awful.

I get liking him based off his athleticism but he's not very good right now

He's crazy overrated right now

Watch more than 1 game. He wasn't even starting that game.

His first start came against A&M and he had a HISTORIC game. First player in 20 years with 125+ yards rushing and 150+ yards receiving in the same game. His tape against Vanderbilt was also elite.

He's a guy with elite skill that wasn't given many opportunities in college. He should beast in the league.
