The first article shows the writer either doesn’t know football or never watched Michigan. While Corum is extremely good in short yardage situations, he is not a power back. He has superb vision and lateral quickness. If you compare highlight videos, you can see Williams is more straight...

Corum for me. Corum is bigger and faster than Williams. And Williams missed five weeks (four games) in the middle of last season (broken hand required surgery). I can see a committee approach to save wear and tear on both guys.

ADP gets much better during camp.

Just copied that from Google. It came from this Forbes article. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/04/26/nfl-draft-heres-how-much-second-and-third-round-picks-will-make-in-rookie-contracts/?sh=7b4c278136b4

PPR?

Actually I think most have labeled the RB class as weak. I personally think it is stronger than most think. And deeper. Time will tell.

Please do

Corum had to come out - his eligibility was up. His NIL was $325K. Players picked in the third round can expect to make between $5.5 million and $6 million in their rookie deals, which also include an option for a fifth year. So no, I don’t think money is the determining issue for players...

I have to disagree - vehemently. More committees means a lower threshold for top 24. Last year RB24 scored 190.7 points (Achane). There were an additional five backs within 10 points. Since injures (and week 18) factor in, looking at ppg shows De’Andre Swift at #24 with 12.5 ppg. Another...

True but most backs have shared the ball for at least five and likely 10 years. Most teams carry four backs. That’s 128 RBs. Using Detroit as an example, they spent a first round pick on a RB last year. Detroit had 500 rushing attempts last year. 13 players had at least one carry. But...

Maybe. How many do you think will finish in the Top 24?

I understand your reticence. I agree that most people think this is a subpar class. I just think that if these rookie backs are so bad, how are they going to cut into the other backs’ production? If they suck, they won’t play. If they play, they have to produce to stay on the field. Pretty...

I don’t know. Opportunity is huge. I don’t think Brooks will be full strength until next year but I do think he will be game ready to start the season. So he should get plenty of opportunities. Vidal should win the starting job though Gus Bus could battle for it so training camp will be...

I think it’s better than you think.

Rachaad 267.9 points Kyren 257.9 points Bijan 247.1 points Jahmyr 242.1 points Not equal but close. And Rachaad and Kyren were better than Bijan and Jahmyr.

Why don’t we wait until after the season and see if they belong in the same sentence. Going into last season would you have thought that either Kyren Williams or Rachad White were in the same class? Talentwise I still don’t think they are in the same class. Fantasy wise, they were better. I...

Why? Was Detroit a bad spot for Gibbs and Montgomery? How about Atlanta? Bijan shared with Allgeier.

He won’t be great at first but he will get opportunities. Vidal is in the best position. And Corum is in a great offense. Remember, both Gibbs and Robinson were in committees last year and did pretty good!

Vidal landed well.
