Derrick Henry

I am only picking Henry with my 3rd pick. Whether that is in the third round or we trade back in the 1st and pick up a second 2nd. We have too many other needs to grab one that early.

 

sadly you may be right about that... but just know there are only 2 special RB's in this class, anyone picked after Henry is just a waste of roster space..

 

And wouldn't take another until the 4th. Though, the guy from Arkansas interest me.

 

I'm a big fan of Devontae Booker out of Utah. Might be a 4th round guy to look at.

 

He looks alright but we have him on our roster already in Cobb, very similar players..

 

Henry benefits from having one of the best O-Lines in college FB that demolished other lines the whole year. He has no moves and is not shifty.....better than what we have, but I wouldn't draft him earlier than the 4th round IMO. I rather draft Elliot before Henry....

 

youre on some other planet then if you think thats gonna happen

 

I know somebody will pick him up earlier, but I am not on the Henry bandwagon.....I agree it's him and Elliot and then a huge drop-off, but I rather go Elliot or look through free agency.

 

because he's not quick enough for you in the backfield?

 

Yep, see Mock draft report on him....I looked it up to back up my initial reasoning.

Why Mel Kiper says Derrick Henry gets a third-round grade

It didn't take long for ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. to rain on Alabama RB Derrick Henry's NFL draft parade. Moments after Henry declared for the NFL, Kiper took to a conference call with reporters and pegged the Heisman winner as a likely third-round pick. "Henry doesn't have enough wiggle and change of direction to attract maybe first-round, maybe even second-round interest," Kiper said. "He's a build-up-speed guy, he's not that initial-quickness-through-the-hole type of player that you need for the NFL
