Not a fan of this one but I'm hearing and reading good things about this kid. "Angry" and "determined" have been mentioned a few times when pundits describe his running style.

I found it interesting that several RB are rated AHEAD of him.

He had 4th round grades

Only 20 years old so he has time to develop. We’ll see.

Without the injury Miller would probably be the 3rd back off the board.

Yeah,it's not a complaint just found it a strange pick considering the Williams pick up. I do like how Allen/Ireland/Loomis seem to be looking to add a physical nasty streak through both sides of the ball though. I've always felt just following the crowd into the fast playing,passing format for offense is a mistake. Teams are playing with smaller and faster players so go big and run them over

How do we feel so far?

Oh that news on Spears explains why he wasn't taken. No ACL, and other issues in the knee

Yup. May only have a couple of years in him. If that.

I wouldn't hold my breath regardless of who the QB is under center.

Adam has an average NFL skillset. Does not move the needle.

Well, this is the most I’ve doubted Allen since he’s been head coach. Prove me wrong DA!

Another year and I'm going to say it again. Comp picks shouldn't exist. Getting picks cause your cheap and wouldn't pay a player,or you've screwed up your cap and have to let them go. Neither should be compensated.
