Piggybacking off FreeBa, break out age should be considered in context as predictive data. For Sanders youd be better off assuming we dont really know his.
Be WAY cooler if you want to post here.
He's much more of a discount LeSean McCoy than a quicker Sony Michel to me. Another guy I'd comp him to is Marlon Mack.
Why can't Cohen be a semi-lead back? 200+ touches isn't unrealistic to me. He had 170 last year. Mike Davis can easily make 150+, I think a later round rookie can easily get 80-90+ touches.
He definitely has a role, but IDK I am still mentally stuck on the fact he only touched it 4 times in their playoff loss. He is really small, very useful, but I just can't imagine him as the lead. 200 touches isn't out of the question, though. I certainly think Mike Davis would be the odd man out if they do draft a rookie early(ish), but I agree that they may not use an early pick on a RB. Which is why I actually think Mike Davis could be a steal this year. I expect Davis or a strong rookie to be the one with the bigger role, with Cohen the complimentary piece, and whoever is left over with a handful of scraps.
Long term, I think Atlanta is the best landing spot. Unless he has a pro bowl season, and stays healthy, Freeman is probably gone after 2019.
Nobody answered my thought in the Josh Jacobs thread
Honestly, that's how it is in any draft. The NFL has come to devalue RBs lately, and I think that's come at the cost of underrating them. Breida and Ekeler were both undrafted in the same year.
If you're dead set on RB sure, but as high as I am on him, the earliest I would spend a pick on a RB this year (Sanders or someone else) would be 1.05. I think it would be a mistake to have him go any sooner for any team, desperate for RB help or not.
I agree with you, but would wait until the draft to make any definitive ranking. If Tampa Bay takes Sanders with their 2nd round pick, all of the sudden 1.05 is too late.
I'm not excited about the Eagles landing spot as much. That coaching staff doesn't give me much confidence to put forth a top RB. That and Wentz doesn't seem to check down to his RB's, but I don't have stats for that.
they invested a quality pick, and the competition is minimal
Wanting to go to 1 RB, and going time and time again they go to committee doesn't exactly strike confidence. I love Miles' talent but the Eagles are far from a great spot.
Ajayi averaged like 28 carries/game in Miami (hyperbole, but he clearly was capable of a big workload).
I'm pretty sure you're right about Pederson. The other part for me is that Jordan Howard is one of the best pure rushers of the football in the league. He's great. It's not going to be easy to get a full workload.
Yes they are supporters of the rbbc. Maybe that changes with a more complete back on the roster, but I would assume committee until I see otherwise
Forgot about him. Thanks. Was just looking at 2018 volume.
The fact that Wendell Smallwood even made the roster is atrocious. The fact they didn't use Josh Adams more down the stretch is astounding. The fact they didn't use Clement in crucial situations when he proved he could is .... what's another "a" word that is similar to atrocious and astounding?
