While I agree with the poster (
weak combine numbers) I also understand that some of us love numbers. (2 much?)
Recently, I read a report about M. Bennett based on max expectations (Top 20 oof)
A quick note on Bennett’s somewhat modest equity scores: It seem people are drafting the goliath with the assumption that he’ll take on the team’s No. 3 pass catching role. I worked through the possibility with the Rotoviz projection machine, giving him a hearty 12 percent of the team’s total targets — by far the most for a non-Gronk tight end since the departure of Aaron Hernandez — along with Bennett’s career yards per target (6.9) and touchdown rate (6.6 percent). He came out with TE17 numbers. The high-end equity score, putting him just inside the top-12 tight ends, was done assuming he’s the team’s No. 2 target, edging out Julian Edelman in target share. Bennett’s untold upside comes in the form of a Gronkowski injury. Perhaps that’s what folks are thinking when they take Bennett as the 13th tight end off the draft board. http://bit.ly/2ajEMIV
But, I personally dont buy all numbers.
The 4.68 actually bests what I consider to be the best RB to ever play the game; Earl Campbell ran a 4.70, but he thinks he ran faster when being chased by a linebacker..
Obviously theres a chance that someone responding to Fat Rob's post may be privy to some trusted source.. 1) Gurus can be wrong! 2) It hasnt been shared
Honestly, I was kinda distraught about the Redskins plan at RB from a fans perspective. (I recall tweeting and thanking Alfred for all his work) Obviously Jones could be all that is needed. However, normally competition is good. IF your not getting better, your getting worse.
Fat Rob has been challenged to perform at many positions by his previous Coachs. While now he has one job that consists of protecting the QB, while running and catching the ball. Currently Kelly is at the very end of my RB list (MillerTime, Zeke, Hill, Langford, Fat Rob) In some respects it was an expensive addition to add Kelly because it forced me to drop Henry Anderson (Young Indy DE w/ solid tackle numbers possibly not rdy for wk 1) Once again though truthfully or honestly, I drafted SF rookie Buckner to start for my team. (Dynasty: If your not getting younger...)
Basically after week 1, I might just have created an open roster spot Or heck I just get lucky and re-add a heck of a DE It is Win Win for me IMHO
How So (right)
1) Both Hill and Langford are kind of question marks there's a chance I have rostered my RB3 (technically, I can start four RB's)
2) heck maybe I see a grt trade offer for one of my backs
3) Im the kind of guy who needs an available roster spot. Because if I like a guy, and the right FBG man posts he does too Im adding, and someone is getting cut loose
4) Called me overly concerned w/ return from injury. Hopefully Henry is back w/ a vengeance. If so I will happily re-add if still available
p.s. Im only posting some because I dont want a new guy scared off by mis-information... First impressions are lasting impressions.. I also dont want anyone not returning because they feel embarrassed because they mis-spoke.
