THE ICEMAN Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just looking at RB's for this upcoming draft and noticed Montee Ball has 900 carries in his collage career and back to back 300 + carry seasons but was very productive just don't know if he'd still be worth a 1st or 2nd rounder with that kind of work load.Who else is a top talent at RB,TE or DE? I don't watch a ton of collage ball so I really don't know anybody besides the top tier guys that won't be their at the end of the 1st round.

freebird310 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Im thinking he might make a good 3rd round pick, he has the skills to translate well to the pros IMO ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I have a 3rd grade on him. He'd do we'll in a zone blocking offense like the Redskins or Texans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest facelessman07 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Apparently we've been scouting Mike Gillislee pretty heavily, he's got roughly under 400 carries in his career. I don't watch much college ball either but I'm glad its all but guaranteed we'll be drafting one next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoprime II Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I would like TD to find a fullback on a team with established RBs, a guy who can block like crazy and gains good yardage the few times he runs the ball. That was how we found William Andrews. We got Andrews in the third round.And if this player could catch passes? Well, Andrews caught over 80 passes one year.....

autigerfan Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I would consider him if he fell to the 3rd round or later. That being said, Big 10 RB's don't typically pan out too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam25 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The concern with Ball was the he was just a product of the Wisconsin O-line, I watched a lot of tape on the kid and he's a strong runner who has some good speed, I wouldn't mind at all taking him in the 3rd or possibly the 4th. Gillislee is probably going to end up going in the second by helping his draft stock at senior game in January, I'd love to have Jacob Lacey as well, solid runner.

ArthursMoustache Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Gillislee please, please, please. Blue collar, hard runner. Downside is that he gets dinged now and again but he'd be a great addition to our stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vel Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Give me Mike Gillislee. This RB class if very good for a team like us. We don't really need a workhorse so the 3rd-5th round backs will fit in just nicely. What I like most about Gillislee is his speed, vision and pass blocking. David Wilson has the first two, but not the last one and it kills the Giants. Montee Ball is a good back and would be good to have here as well but I think his career will be shorter because of his workload in Wisconsin. Take Gillislee and double up on Marcus Lattimore.

Psychic Gibbon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It's too much for a 1st round or 2nd round pick, but he'll be picked up in either the 3rd or 4th. He'll provide some team good value but I'm personally hoping for Gillislee. He fits Koetter's offense better than Ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Agree, but for the Lattimore part, unless he is undrafted.6th round to later. I personally don't think he will be like McGahee. He's got two bad knee injuries to both knees and wasn't working a light load at S. Car. That's my concern with him. A very late round pick would be worth it in my opinion because it guarantees we get him and let's him sit behind Quizz, Snelling and whoever we draft.

Assuming 8 picks, you'd like to hit DE, TE, OG, LB, WR, RB, DT through 6 rounds. That still leaves one choice for an extra Safety or combo CB/KR or WR/KR.

Guest Negatorris Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I think he could have success here. We have great personal trainers, and he won't have to carry as much as he has in college. Maybe 150-200 a year depending on his productivity. Plus he's be with his teammates Ewing and Konz. Wouldn't mind giving him a shot, but I'd be cautious.

k-train Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I would love, love, love, love, love for the Falcons to somehow get Gio Bernard. Maybe it's a bit of homerism on my part, being from Chapel hill and all, but that kid is going to be special. Odds are we'd have to take him kinda early, but he's worth it.

That still leaves one choice for an extra Safety or combo CB/KR or WR/KR.Really not that many holes. Like you said, those positions through 6 rounds, which includes 1 RB. I said use a 6th or later on Lattimore. Why can't the WR be a WR/KR combo? The WR doesn't have to be a top 3 guy since they finally realize HD is alive. I think we can afford to double up on RB for a guy like Lattimore. Lattimore has top 5 RB type ceiling. If he gets healthy after a full year off, a combo of Quizz, Gillislee, and Lattimore would be a very good stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
