i think he might be mine now too.

You shouldn’t sour on him, you were right in the first place.

just a little. there are running backs without the agility numbers who still succeed. kamara being a great example. kareem hunt is another.

we’ll see. can’t wait to see him in preseason and then obviously the regular season.

he’s got talent, and he’s in a system that’s supposed to fit his skill set. so i’m hopeful.

i don’t know. he seems to be pretty quick. it’d be nice if there were some short shuttle and 3-cone times to go off.

but my guess is they’d be pretty good numbers.

yeah. trung was a straight line hit the hole and just run.

this guy is shifty. he’s got decent speed, but it’s his shiftiness that stands out.

plus i read somewhere that he’s the ideal back for a wide zone running attack.

McVay just raves about this guy, and I assume of course implicitly Wade feels the same.

ya know. just have to trust these guys. especially when it comes to safety.

if he is a starter next year, i will happily eat crow.

i really do hope he was injured cuz that’s a slow time.

slower than anquan boldin.

i really didn’t know how to react at first. but i like what i’m reading about these players.

I think my favorite two picks are Henderson and Long.

yeah. i think that’s where i’m at right now.

ideally i woulda wanted to add a tight end to this offense, but i really like this kid henderson. and i doubt they coulda found a tight end who could have made the same impact as this kid with the same pick. he diversifies the running game. takes a load off gurley’s knee. gives goff another option. makes the offense more unpredictable. i just love the mcvay offense. and i suspect i’ll love it even more next year.

david long just looks better and better the more i read. adding him and weddle in free agency. i wish they could solidified the front seven, but they did the next best thing. that secondary looks better than it did last year. way better. i think he’s a potential future starter. but again. never seen these guys play so…

day 3. i really like the scott pick. i think he’s a special teams star. fassel likes him, and that’s good enough for me.

and while i really don’t have an opinion on the olinemen, i know it’s important for depth and development. let’s see what kind of magic kromer can conjure up.

i like this pick. immediate impact on special teams.

McVay called him a unique playmaker, and when asked, said this pick was about Henderson’s skills and not Todd Gurley’s knee.

not buying it. i like the pick, but at least part of it was about the knee.

i do think henderson will be fun to watch though. that highlight tape was something else.

i’m just worried about dline right now.

dude is slow.

but his short shuttle and 3 cone times are startlingly good.

3.99 and 6.82.

those are elite times. but his lack of top end speed worries me.

i’m warming up to the idea of solidifying that center position.

risner is particularly interesting because he could fill in at guard as well. i don’t know if mccoy could do that. i think he could because he’s got the size and athleticism.

or even if they could play guard and replace blythe with allen playing center. i’m tending towards wanting to strengthen the lines whether that be defensive or offensive.

but if they decide to go defensive back i won’t be disappointed. that already happened when tillery came off the board.

i hope they just get any dlineman. one of the top ones.

i hope they don’t go oline. it’s better they address that later.

Marshawn was one of the best ever. A little better than Steven Jackson?

i would say definitely not. lynch had the benefit of playing on superior teams.

i can only imagine how jackson would have been in mcvay’s offense.

Snead said there may be so many good D-linemen that none of them make it to the 31st pick.

that’s my fear.

at this point i don’t think tillery lasts until the rams’ pick.

i want no part of simmons.

i think there’s a chance lawrence is there at 31. i want him. trading down and pickup saunders would be good too.

regardless. he’s got best case scenario 3 prime years left in his legs.

the clock is ticking.

this could accelerate things. i hope not, but even with the best case scenario he’s already past the halfway point of his career.
