Maybe likely.
I can see someone taking one or two of these guys late round 1. Teams like Philly could be looking at RBs who wont be there when they pick again. especially with the drop off in talent. But I dont expect one to go round 1 either personally.
Philadelphia would be a great spot for any running back, but especially Sanders. Very similar offense to what he's used to.
The best part of that is it would guarantee he goes before I would consider him and to me that's a good thing.
So you hate him. He's somewhere in the RB2-5 range right now, depending on who you ask.
In a weak RB class and a strong WR and TE class, I can see him falling to the 2nd round.
You only have watched one of his games, a bad one too. For the purpose of diligence, watch one of his better games like Wisconsin.
OK, I will later tonight. I feel this draft class for RBs is overall weak and I'd rather throw a dart at a WR or TE, unless one of the lessor RBs I like falls to the 2nd rd. I'd rather have one of the top WRs (Brown, Harry Metcalf) over Jacobs or Montgomery in the top the top 5. I'm not going to reach for someone like Henderson before the late first or early 2nd. I wouldn't draft Sanders before the 2nd round for sure.
I haven’t looked at numbers heavily but I would bet that McSorely getting the ball to him late is a big part of that.
Well I have looked at the numbers and watched him play and he isn't that good as a receiver.
Who is your RB1?Biabreakable said:

I do like him I just dont think he is the best of this class.
Burst is hard to tell, I think it's splitting hairs between any of them. Jacobs, Henderson, and Anderson all have good burst, but so does Sanders. Here is Sanders vs Barkley in the 40, tied until about 20. Sanders beats him to the 10.
yes. Sanders isnt your typical between the tackles sort of RB. in open space he is hard to tackle. This is usually why teams pass to RBs.
I haven't watched Sanders much, but it's worth noting that Guice didn't catch passes in an LSU system where the RB never catches passes, whereas Sanders played in an offense that had just thrown a TON to an (albeit great) RB the year before.
With Sanders, his receiving game notwithstanding, I think he bounces things outside too much. I don't think he's comfortable between the tackles. That will hurt him at the next level.
The pass catching does worry me. It's just weird his role in the passing game was solely pass blocking.
Even after watching him drop passes in the Ky game, the thing that worries me most about Sanders is his running everything outside. I'm not convinced he's comfortable as an inside runner and he will need to be if he's going to be more than a change of pace back. Just my opinion. One thing in his favor is his yards after contact (845).
There is no doubt he tested very well at the combine.
He had 24 receptions over 13 games and averaged 5.8 yards per reception.
His first sentence: "Sanders is a good-sized back with excellent short-area quickness"
Jokes aside, Cosell endorses Sanders as his #2 runningback in this draft. And I'm inclined to ignore his #1 Jacob's for reasons of logic.
Sanders is quite high for me in this draft. I will be happy if my league thinks poorly of him. IMO Sanders could go as high as 1.2 in rookie drafts
where is that? I dont see KC taking a rb until rd 3 at the earliest
I'm not following how it's not totally inexcusable to ride the pine behind Saquon Barkley.
Just what I’m seeing around TwitterDr. Dan said:
It is excusable, it’s still a narrative. When you look at the data and use it as a predictive measure it’s still not good to break out when he did. He’s decently athletic but not mind bendingly so. I would say he tops out as a Marlon Mack type who has questions about his pass catching ability. I’m a Mack fan so I mean that in a good way but I’m not sure others are really going to be super enthused by that if they use a top 6-8 pick on him.cloppbeast said:
Yeah it's not ideal, but there are plenty of exceptions. Those exceptions often come when there is a good reason for it like, I dunno, being stuck behind one of the best college RBs of our lifetime.
Do you ever read the whole thread or do you just like to jump to the point where there is a reason I remembered I ignored you? Clown. Like, I dunno, when I said this:
