    Pass protection for a Rb is more a mental thing, plenty of 5'9" guys drop 6'4" blitzers

    what henry did or didnt do in college is pre draft talk. only thing to talk about at this point is what he is going to do, and we wont know until sept/oct what we got here. Hes on the team, hes going to get carries. I hope he makes them good carries.

    So that I am on the same page, Henry (who was projected a 1-2 on everything I've seen) was a 4th rounder and should be been taken behind the other backs in the 3rd/4th?

    His backup was taken in the 3rd, and Prosise were both better prospects according to who? How about Tyler Ervin, is he rated higher on your board also?

    He went right about where he was expected to go. Maybe slightly earlier. I had him pegged as a late 2nd/early 3rd pick, but I expected him to go earlier. For a team like Dallas. And what's incredible to me is that Henry would've been a perfect fit in Dallas, but they took Elliot at 4 instead of Ramsey. Typical Jerry.

    Anyways... I still hate the pick. It's all I've been thinking about in regards to our draft. I still can't get behind it, but I think Henry is much more talented than you're giving him credit for.

    My biggest issue with him is durability concerns. I see him having knee issues and not lasting long in the league.

    Plenty of scouts have him as a 3rd-4th round talent. Which makes FAR more sense than people thinking he's a 2nd round talent. He doesn't have the feet nor vision to be drafted early.

    Dallas took Elliot because Elliot is a LEGIT running back.

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

    Though- just so you know- taking a RB in the first two rounds is dumb, regardless of who they are minus an Adrian Peterson type. (See Fournette/Cook next year)

    Taking an average RB that early is just team suicide. Especially if you can't afford luxury picks (we can't.) Even more dumb when he's similar to a RB that you JUST traded for in the offseason.

    It's braindead.

    The Ex-scout that made that claim even stated he was bias. Which is ironic that you echo the same remarks...
