Looking at draft RB performance on perfectly blocked runs and non-perfectly blocked runs in their career

This is a Tyjae Spears post. And a Jahmyr Gibbs post.

WOW ... don't know the source, but very negative on Gibbs non-perfect blocked runs.

I was ready to believe that Gibbs was Kamara 2.0. He could also be Kenyan Drake. Or a better JD McKissick.

The size thing weighs on me, because if you aren't a special runner at that size, you will most likely wind up a 3rd down back who doesn't get many carries. Which is helpful for NFL teams, but caps your fantasy value.

looks like a DeWayne McBride post

Gibbs play 1 (just watch the one play then click the next link to see a play that wasn't perfectly blocked)

Gibbs play 2

Evade two tacklers at line of scrimmage

play 4

two guys unblocked, outruns em

now there were plenty of other runs where he did get stuffed... but that happens to all RBs when blocking breaks down.

A reminder that speed matters but is not everything...

7 RBs ran <=4.4 at the 2022 NFL combine:

2 drafted in round 2.

2 drafted in round 4.

1 drafted in round 5.

1 drafted in round 7.

1 undrafted.

Evaluate the profile as a whole and never get carried away with one input.

Definitely, but he's gonna be a backup who cannot catch. I worry about those guys, they get replaced.

Seven RBs were graded solidly within Day 2 in Dane Brugler's Beast:

Bijan, Gibbs, Charbo, Achane, Spears, Roschon, Tank

Four more: Z Evans, Izzy, Kendre, Gray got R3/4 grades

The Beast released today. Haven't gotten into it yet.

Interesting discussion regarding speed.
