4.56 40

OVERVIEW
One of the top high school running backs in the country as a high school senior, Kamara went to Alabama to be the next big thing. A preseason knee injury forced him to redshirt, however. He was also suspended for the Sugar Bowl and not on the sideline for the team's game against LSU for "behavioral reasons." Kamara left Alabama in January, but found trouble again a month later in his hometown (Norcross, GA) with a traffic arrest. He suited up for Hutchinson Community College in 2014, winning conference offensive player of the year (1,211 yards, 21 TD). Given a second chance in the SEC by Tennessee, Kamara averaged 6.5 yards per carry as a reserve in 2015 (107-698, 7 TD; 34-291, TD receiving). He was impressive again as a junior, running for 596 yards and nine scores on only 103 carries (40-392, 4 TD receiving), though he missed time with a sprained left knee (LCL, meniscus).

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Spirited runner with NFL size and speed. Will open creases by varying pace of his runs. Burst to top speed is available at flip of a switch. Creates yardage with speed, wiggle and power. Twitchy and decisive. Strong lower body provides superior balance. Flexible and agile with ability to twist, spin and ricochet off of bodies and continue to gain yards after contact. Very productive; 23 touchdowns in just 284 touches at Tennessee. Well-liked inside program and a team leader. Can play on all three downs. Improved in pass protection and squares up blitzers. Has lined up at slot receiver at times. Sure-handed pass catcher with excellent burst out of breaks to consistently uncover. Has talent as punt returner.

WEAKNESSES
Vision can be hit or miss. Not an instinctive runner. Needs to see running lane develop and is missing a feel for reading progressions of his blocks. Makes inconsistent decisions on stretch plays. Can be his own worst enemy on third level. Will run himself into a tackler rather than setting him up for a downfield blocker. Consistently cuts left when given an open-field choice against tackler. With knee injuries in his background, combine medicals could come into play. Needs to tuck ball high and tight to prevent fumbles.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2

NFL COMPARISON Thomas Jones

BOTTOM LINE
Ascending, competitive runner who has flashed explosive NFL talent at various times over the last two seasons. A committed runner with excellent balance who finds yardage that isn't blocked for him. While he has never logged 20 carries in a single game, he has the talent to play on all three downs if he can prove his durability.

Payton officially has Moraitis...

Trying to prove he's smarter than everyone else in the building and usually just outsmarts himself...

What sucks is that when he leaves, he'll take Ireland with him and leave us with Loomis

We really need a Jim Finks to come in and take charge of the organization!!!

No issue with the player but giving up a future 2 for him.
You dont move up for RB these days normally

Thought it was for a DE

STill have 2x3s though

I am hating it for the price. He will always have that 2nd round pick hanging around his neck. he is a 2 pick player. well let see what happens but I never was impressed by him. lacks instincts. we have a ton of these guys already.

Let me say this... I had a feeling we would draft Alvin Kamara. That's not a surprise to me at all. Giving up our 7th rounder doesn't even bother me.

However... trading away next year's 2nd rounder has me a little pi$$ed.

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3
 
If we go deep in the playoffs we have given little away

But if its another year of missing the playoffs or 7-9 its a big mistake

New Orleans Saints: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee: C+ Grade
This is a very difficult grade to make. On one hand, Alvin Kamara is a steal in the third round because he easily could've gone exactly one round earlier. On the other hand, the Saints surrendered a 2018 second-round pick to get another running back, when they just signed Adrian Peterson? I don't know about that. I'd love this if the Saints didn't give up such a valuable resource, but I have to penalize them.

What about if its picks 25-32?

Then you have given up 2nd late but for a R3.03 and a 7
Thats not a issue for me. But if its R2.13 thats not good

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3
 
AND we traded up for him?!? This is ridiculous

"We're gonna fix the defense.. And by that I mean we're gonna overload on DB's and mortgage the future for offensive guys"

Somebody get Payton and Loomis out of the draft room, please for the love of God.

oh well lets hope this brain trust sees something I do not. but can he ever live up to the price?

I hate the way the saints throw around picks.

Pats signed RFA RB Mike Gillislee from Buffallo for fifth round pick and a contract of two-year, $6.4 million

When will we learn?
