With the 45th Pick of the 2016 Draft: Alabama RB Derrick Henry

it appears that way...yet the kid hasn't even stepped on the field...Relax...give it time. Easy to be negative right now and I get it....but everyone has their own opinion etc...At least this year, they didn't reach. Watch him play, then judge him. Nobody here is some F ing professional

 

Yeah cause heaven forbid someone question a professional gm. I mean who could've possibly done better than Ruston Webster?


I challenge you to find an actual negative comment I made about Henry as a player.

 

Nobody takes you seriously bro...so i'll wait to watch the kid on the field until I make an A hole judgement.

 

If he ran a 5.0 40 yard, I don't think his size would matter too much. It depends on a players other assets. I agree, he will steamroll some linebackers.

 

"I'll make a cash money bet with anyone on this forum that Henry is NOT the 2nd best rookie rb this season.

Put up or shut up"

I take that as negative...Already doubting is abilities....maybe you are right...but you are guessing like the rest of us....So like I said...watch him on the NFL field first. As for the RB's left..I get your point about value and taking someone that was left later...but clearly they didn't fit the "Smashmouth" workhorse ideals that they wanted..Right or wrong. Can't fault them for taking a guy that has the stats and numbers to back it when they had so many picks, and you only have 1 starting quality back on the roster.....

 

I think DH will do okay after he acclimates to the NFL game a little.

But I'm still struggling with the pick when specialists like Su'a Cravens and Dieon Jones were still on the board at 45.

 

It still matters though.

Imagine a 5.0 guy with DMC size trying to do anything.

Obviously JUST size or JUST speed won't make a player great. Gotta have a combination.

 

As of 2016 he does.

I was welcoming him back to the NFL.

 

Actually... he's slower than Sankey.

BUT he is bigger. Because that's what apparently matters.



lol @ someone saying he's going to steamroll LBs.

Being big doesn't automatically make you some physical back. He avoids contact more than he tries to punish anyone. There's a reason you can't find a clip of him bulldozing any college DBs even... just not in his arsenal.
