Love this pick : Quadree Ollison (link inside)

[MSalmon 9,652]

I rewatched his Clemson game. Only 13 carries for 56 yards, but watch his speed to the outside and blocking against a team with serious DL talent.

Glad we got a guy that can drag a view bodies with him. If the investment is the oline is correct its going to help our entire team

I like the pick too. He had me watching old clips of Michael Turner last night.

With Mike Mularky being the run game coordinator, I could see him having some influence with this pick.

Good point. I kinda see turner. He’s got that same nutty burst that I never expect when you look at him physically. Can you imagine this kid’s potential in an NFL diet and training regime? He’s got wheels at 230. I hate the forty for rbs.

He’s extremely talented and well rounded. He’s got a sneaky burst you can see when he hit a hole. With his level of intelligence, he’s going to be able to step right in and help us this year.

I just knew we would find a back in this draft that could play at a high level and was big enough to take a lot of punishment, just in case Freeman or Ito went down, who both ended the year on IR,

Good post. I really didn’t notice him when scouting this year. But that Clemson clip sold me.

[GeorgiaBoyz 2,188]

Wish we could get the FB #35, both guards & center . Those fuvkers were blocking their azzz off . That full back is a man !

Long speed is great and all, but for our run blocking scheme burst is even more important.  We need backs that can spot the hole and quickly burst through it to second level. 

And this guy is going to be brutal for DBs and smallish LBs to tackle at second level with a full head of steam

We have added a long missing element of physicality to this offense. We got great big, strong, physical, nasty, mean finishing OL who will not get pushed around by any defense and a great big physical back to pound on them even more.

Perfect complement to Free Ito.

Why is it sneaky? Heck, he has the same 40 as Freeman

That’s nuts that a guy that big is as fast as free who he could eat for a snack

[falcons007 18,240]

He can block too, line him up in H formation with Free on short yardage situations. He is a RB in FB body.

[Hurry_Up_And_Buy 324]

Cue the old Stephen Jackson film  ...That dude was a beast for 10 years in the league. If this young man has any of that type of stuff in him he'll be not only be a good pick up but also considered a draft steal. QO was a pretty good grab in a draft full of "PRODUCTIVE" late round backs to choose from.

Haven't watched much on him yet.  How does he wiggle?  Or how quick does he cut.  I know that's not his game, but was curious.  His 3 cone is really slow, but lots of times these guys haven't even trained for it.  

Does his quickness look pretty decent in real life?

Both have that burst which is why they fit so well in our scheme, but with him being 230lbs and not being a burner, a fan has to know what they are watching to see that, a defender  has to know it’s there or he’ll look over his shoulder wondering how in heck he got by him!

He’s more of a North South runner

I see quite a bit of wiggle in him. He seems agile enough as well. Overall, a pretty good pickup.

He’s got some wiggle and Patience as well. Not a strictly one cut guy at all. Although, he can certainly do that. Watch the entire Clemson and Syracuse games if you want to see evidence of that

I know he’s got the patience, I just haven’t seen that part of his game yet where he can make defenders miss on the limited amount of runs I’ve seen in clips, but I haven’t seen the full Clemson Syracuse games either.

Stop it! I’m trying to calm down 

 

kudos for realizing it was a legit question 

[WhenFalconsWin 23,971]

We need this guy to come through for us. A lot of RB competition in camp...someone will emerge.
