Great stuff, SIP. Sure glad your on BGO with the rest of the gang from ES. Yes, my eyes see Marks burst as top 3 of RBs. My eyes deceive me but it's what I see. He will get you 5 to 10 yards and more in some runs. He has great hands and I like that and I agree with the Ekeler comparison.
I like Johnson a ton. His burst seems a tad slow (others say his burst is good) and again, my eyes probably deceive me. If AP were to draft Johnson with our #61 if we still have it, I'd be good with that, if Henderson was already taken.
Giddens, I think is available until the very early 4th (to about pick #112). If so and we didn't have a RB, he be a great get if we had an early 4th pick acquired in a Day 1 or Day 2 trade. Only issue with him that has been spoken about is his receiving hands and his pass and run blocking are meh.
Final thoughts in this post is I get the feeling that AP is going hard for EDGE, S or visa versa CB and then RB. If he trades down (which I believe he will) then depending on who is available and if AP re-adjust things on his board with whoever is available at that time, RB could be an option in the 2nd or 3rd round.
I wonder also about DT. He's hit and miss as far as info (Tony Pauline) but I liked to read that Ty Robinson is on their radar, if true. It's a killer draft for DT. It looks like judging by 30 day meetings they have some late round corners on their minds too.
Could be DE, DT, then RB, then CB, S?
Judging by their meetings maybe its simple BPA with those positions and they deal with it as they come per round.
Just a gut take, but as for RBs maybe they have a player or two on their radar early and if they happen to fall to 61, like Henderson for example, they grab them if not they punt to later in the draft.
Henderson in particular fits them so well, that its hard for me to imagine he's not hot on their radar. I love Kaleb but don't know the fit one way or another -- he's so outside zone oriented.
Giddens IMO is a bit different than Henderson, but he has those explosive runs like him and is just as fast at a bigger size. Tuten IMO is intriguing speed threat deeper in the draft, don't know if he lasts until the late 4th. So is RJ Havery.
Sampson is fast but without a ton of explosive runs in college but wonder about him too considering his potential and how feisty he is in the red zone.
As McShay said on a podcast and someone else did too, hard to find good pass protectors in this class. On that front, Henderson is good. Hampton is good. Monangai is good. Lequint Allen is good. I think Woody Marks is good even though PFF gave him a low score on that front. But so many are meh to poor at it. They will have to learn to do it. And I wonder for a win now team do they have the patience to deal with it?
As far as Woody Marks, don't like that he's already 24 and change. Love Harvey but he has that same issue. By 28 a lot of RBs lose it. So they will have a short shelf like. Both are really good with the balls in their hands in space. Harvey is IMO the better runner and better player overall. But Marks is very underrated.
