WOR Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We've all been quite disappointed with our run game since the decline of Turner. Well happy days could be here again quite soon. First key is to ditch Koetter and his hatred of the run game. Second is a pair of tremendous backs in this year's draft. 1. Josh Robinson MSU. 5'9" 215. He's literally looks exactly like Turner. 4.55 speed. Will run you over and get the extra yard. My favorite mid round back. If we get him, our draft will be a success. First year as the main back so he doesn't have a ton of mileage. Decent hands. 2. Michael Dyer UL- 5'9" 213. 4.48 speed. He is special. Had off the field concerns, but has turned his life around. If he had stayed at Auburn he'd be up there with Gurley for best in the SEC. Rated as a 6th or later right now. If we can get one of these guys, I believe our run game will be one of the best in the league within 2-3 years. I really hope we can snag one of them. I want to cheer while our RB drags a defender 10 yards again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcanuck Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I don't want a Turner clone. Turner couldn't catch a pass to save his life. Give me Yeldon in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Duke Johnson from Miami is another guy I like. But I think he will rise into the second round. I can see him becoming a Jamaal Charles clone, but with a little more strength. Lightning fast and shifty, while also able to go through a defender. Tremendous pass catcher as well.

The Falcons have a rediculous amount of cap space. Also, LG, S and RT aren't extremely pressing needs. Sign a couple pass rushers, ILB, re-sign Lowery. Draft Gregory/Scherff in the 1st, Yeldon/Gordon 2nd, ILB 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Duke FTW! He's going to be like Gio.Gio is a good comparison. If he's sitting at our pick in the 3rd I dont think you can pass him up. Pair him with Dyer in the late rounds or a guy like ingram(if he's cheap), and we would have a great backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shoots their knees up with pain killers and shoves their ***** on the field no matter how hurt they are. They are broken by the time they get to the NFL. No thank you.

He's been good this year, but his injury history is not something you take a chance on unless you have to. He's also easily upgradeable.

Thats one of my favorite things about Robinson. He's had some mileage, but it's no where near what 3 year starters go through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezmen in the works. Ishmael playing well for the most part. Safety is not a pressing need. Neither is OG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your draft has the team taking a RB one round later, and STILL an OG in the second. The RBs at the top of the second will be incredibly good.

WOR Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I think an impact LB would have a much bigger impact on this team than an RB, and I don't see any in free agency outside of KJ wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
