Field speed and 40 speed are different, Corum has patience , vision and power, he’s got great shiftablity between the guards, this is what has made him successful at all levels so far it is hard for defenders to read and react against him because of this. Elite 40 time RB’s do not turn into elite RB’s the majority of the time
This years rbs are going to be screaming good draft deals due to the extreme wr depth. Overall this is going to be a super fun year for the skill positions! Yet another great video thanks for your hard work dude!
Everyone saying the rb class is so bad this year, I think the receiver class is just that good. I’ve been in on these backs in the later rounds all year.
All of this is great but it should be noted RB success nearly always correlates with draft capital. Brooks/Benson/Corum are my favs for this class but I'll skip over all of them if Dallas makes someone like Braelon Allen the first RB off the board.
TRACY GUERENDO ALLEN LAUBE or CORLEY BAKER WASHINGTON RICE or SANDERS @ 3.6 ?! Just drafted BOWERS MITCHELL BURTON in that order…traded MAYER COOKS for this pick… any advice ?
Don't sleep on Isiah Davis from South Dakota state. Dude is a beast. 6'0 218lbs. Could be a gem in a weak running back class. If he would have transferred after his freshman year. I have no doubt. He would have been a top ten running. Depending on where he would have went. Even if he falls to 5th or 6th round. He will make an NFL roster.
Not having Bucky Irving in the top 10 is nuts. Great runner, great vision, elite receiving ability at RB(led the nation in receptions at RB), breaks tackles better than most the guys on this list. Averaged 6.8 ypc and 6.3 ypc the last 2 years. Had 1600 total yards and 13 TDs last year. Wayyy better production than most the guys listed on here. Braelon Allen is big and slow and doesn’t break tackles as well as Bucky who’s way smaller. PFF has Irving ranked 4th. Putting guys like Shipley/ Guerendo(who couldn’t even start at Louisville)/ and the Purdue RB above him makes zero sense to me. Leaving him out of the top 10 completely invalidates the list imo.
Im surprised we didnt hear Bucky Irvings name 2021/699. 2022/1058. 2023/1180 yds with a combined average of 6 yds per carry, do you have an answer of why he doesn't have your interest??
Your point about Brooks re Roschon _Johnson_ (you said 'Robinson' for both him & Bijan) is a strong reason I expect the Bears to under-perform yet again. He was considered the Best Pure Rusher coming out of last year's draft. So why didn't the Bears _do anything_ with him? Matt Eberflus. Despite having no background whatever in offense 'Flus makes it Very Clear that *_he_** decides* what plays to limit offenses to. The fact that he, not Getsy has similarities in how their o-lines play to Frank Reich shows that Matt is a micro-manager. Micro-managers can't keep from meddling. also, a guy like Roschon can't possibly succeed on their teams. Johnson was clocked as faster _with the ball in his hands_ than in practice or at the combine. Micro-managers make you practice forever until you do things right *in practice.* He might _destroy_ Johnson. (I'd like to see _him_ get onto Dallas or even better, the Giants). It was Eberflus' decision to cancel the plays that made the Bears the #1 offense for 3 weeks straight _(BEFORE_ they acquired D.J. Moore), when he neither took fields to the blue tent after he "started" staring at open receivers & refused to respond to reporter questions about this _OR_ when Fields called it out it was clear that *He Decided* to call for Fields to not throw to certain receivers on certain plays. & that play worked precisely never. So while _that play_ was likely specifically designed to set Fields up to fail & won't be present in the future, the problem with micro-managers is micro-aggressions. They see their style as perfect & prefer it to winning. Caleb is An Individual. He may be a team player on the field, but as An Individual, he's also gonna notice when the plays called aren't good for the team. It's only gonna be a matter of time before this comes to a head. It's just a matter of when, not if. After all, when you eliminate Eberflus' play-calling such as *intentionally calling* terrible o-line plays & literally undermining the offense by ordering Fields not top throw to often ended being the Only Receivers to get open on many plays, _what_ are Fields' problems remind me? That Darnell Mooney couldn't catch passes that hit him in the hands? That his amazing weird-arm passes on the run that threaded tight windows to hit covered receivers often went to waste on this team? They *already **_had_* a guy in Caleb Williams' tier & they didn't _want_ to win with him. Whatever reason you ascribe this to, the point is that Poles & Eberflus hold Having *Their Way* as a higher priority than winning. That's not good.
interesting list. i am not that high on benson. he is big and fast. he is cool on highlight tape because he breaks a lot of long runs. this is it. no lateral movements, no shifty moves. clearly not high on my list. id put blake watson somewhere on this list for sure. he is the most underrated rb on this draft class. about tracy, some websites list him as a wr. position? lets say weapon.
I don’t understand the statement of we don’t know his athleticism because he didn’t run the 40 yard dash for Allen? The 40 yard dash is not a measure of athleticism that’s what the drill work is for.
Majority of the best backs to ever in the NFL are under 6 foot Barry , Emmitt , Walter , LT , Curtis Martin , Frank Gore , Earl Campbell , Marshall Faulk , Brain Westbrook and the list goes on and on. Compact backs have better balance more durable hide behind the blocks.
The Best back to ever put cleats on was 5’8. So like I said before Barry 5’8 200, B Westbrook 5’8 203, MJD 5’7 210, Ray Rice 5’8 203 , Darren Sproles 5’6 190 the list goes on and on.
@@KFBALL247Michigan players are team first. They do whatever the team needs. Prima donnas won't last in the program. Blake is so much more than his stats. Same for JJ.
Best back that you probably have not heard of and almost definitely will, is Isaac Guerendo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next Christian McCaffery! (LOLOLOL I wrote this before I saw the video opened with him!!!!!!!!!)
@@SalVetri I miss the DFS tout days Sal, I understand this is your business model and the fake alpha touts were hating but I always had success with your projections and player takes, come back bro!!!
RBs under 6’ really don’t do that well in the NFL? Barry Sanders was 5’9”. Emmitt Smith was 5’8”. Like the old saying goes: It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight IN the dog!
5’8 was the quote. This is a valid as You named some great players. But this is Outlier bias. I can name thousands that don’t succeed below these thresholds. Outliers exist, but they are indeed outliers for a reason. Whether that be coach bias, or their actual size that harms them. I am still a fan of Corum, believe he can be an outlier. But that’s what it would be, an outlier.
@@SalVetri I’m not a fan of Corum; at least not for my team. He’s already had a heavy workload running the ball in HS & college. I don’t believe he’ll have a long career in the NFL. I do hope I’m wrong because my own team could take him!!
@@SalVetri for sure.. I wonder what the HB classes will be like moving foward with kids realizing they're not going to get paid as HBs.. will players avoid the position?
Corum, Estimate and Davis are the cream of this class. It's real easy to see. Estime is easily the best. Corum has unbelievable vision and jump cut. Davis is a workhorse do it all back with above average to elite RB traits. The rest of the backs can only claim one or two of the abilities the top three have. The conversation starts after these three.
Wow, that’s an insane take. Brooks, Benson and Wright will get the best draft capital in my opinion and that usually determines opportunities to be a full time starter
