What do you expect from a running back selected in the first round?

ingrams been half decent for like 1.5 years. Pretty real bad before that. Lacy was decent, on a team with the most prolific passing attack this millenium. Now hes exposed for the fat turd he is.

 

I can't believe JC said that Henry is the most dynamic RB to come out in quite some time......need I remind you of Todd Gurley?

I can't believe some of you guys are overlooking the Trent Richardson debacle when it comes to Henry and still talking about taking him top 10. Richardson was a much MUCH better pro prospect than Henry is and even he busted. He had the perfect ht/wt/speed build for an every down RB. He had great hands, was a willing blocker, great center of gravity, vision, feet and could break any tackle.

Now you're trying to convince me that Henry being 4 inches taller, less explosive and not nearly as good of feet is worthy of a similar pick?

Henry is a product of many things Alabama: their NFL OLine and their great defense which allows them to play with the lead or tied 9/10 weeks. Anytime a RB gets more than 25 carries, that's more a credit to the OL than the RB himself. Does he make some plays? Yes. Does he seem to be in excellent shape? Yes

Good for him for having such a wonderfully successful year. But count me in the group that wouldn't touch him before mid 2nd.

I'd rather have Gurley, Gordon, Hyde before I looked at Henry.

 

he ran a 4.45 using the same system they use at the combine over the summer at 245 so after working at it specifically for the combine he might be able to get a bit under a 4.40 as insane as that sounds

 

Former scout: Derrick Henry looks like fourth-round pick - NFL.com

 

trent richardson looked like a legend behind an alabama line...

if we draft henry get used to seeing a lot of this,

 

andrews>Henry. And yall know how I feel bout andrews

 

Every single player says their 40 time is .2 faster before the combine for some reason.

"I was clocked at 4.3 so that's what I think I will run."

"______ official time is 4.52"

 

If Henry fell to us in the 2nd I would be delighted!

 

Henry would be absolutely money on the Cowboys, but for most teams Zeke is the better prospect.

In the 1st round I expect elite qualities and production. Not many RBs are taken in R1 anymore. I expect starts like Gurly's and careers with a floor of Matt Forte/ Lynch/ Charles

 

Yep...if he trains exceptionally had and has great coaches, I wouldn't be surprised is Henry does sneak into the high 4.4 range, like DGB did (4.49). It will probably be more like 4.55, but that is STILL smoking fast for a big back. Most DB's in the league are 4.5 guys, and many safeties are 4.6-4.7 and that's why they aren't playing corner. This is why Henry is rarely, if ever, caught from behind.

And that's why I think he'd be a steal at the top of the 2nd Rd. He would literally take over a handful of games during the season. When was the last time we had back who could take over a game? Early CJ years or Eddie George. Both of those guys were 1st Rd'ers.
