Drafting a running back in the X round.

So, he will be the ______ running back taken in the 2016 draft?

1st, 2nd, 3rd. . .

cbs has him 10th in RB rankings (3-4th round), updated yesterday, fwiw.

One NFL scout compared Notre RB C.J. Prosise to former Eagles RB Duce Staley.

"He's just going to keep getting better," the scout began before making the comparison. Another scout called Prosise "his guy." We are definitely here for the Prosise praise. The former receiver can definitely be successful in space, but showed prowess between the tackles this year. Josh Norris ranks Prosise as his No. 4 RB and the No. 60 overall prospect.

this guy's stock is rising...wonder where McC has him on his board

I know most on here want a shifty back, but I'd love to find a Stephen Davis type in the mid rounds. the kind if guy that can get the tough 1-2 yards to keep drives going or get into end zones.

I know we need D-line the most, but I still want to get a quality center - someone who can control the middle and like Hog said...make all the RB's better.

I'm just not sold that Long is the answer at C...he didn't exactly explode off the line as LG last year. Moving him to C means he will have more going on,so it makes me really wonder.

That's Jones though. Jones is big. He showed last year he can be very physical and get tough yards.

I like complementary backs so you can change the pace a bit. The absolute must-have attribute of a complimentary back to Jones is the ability to hit the homerun. He needs to be fast and shifty. If he's also big, then all the better. But we've got our tough mudder with Jones, no need to double down on that.

Kelvin Taylor Earns High Praise From NFL Draft Experts - (http://campusinsiders.com/news/kelvin-taylor-nfl-draft-04-05-2016)

This is a guy I liked early on as an option for the Skins...looks like he is starting to get some praise.


I like Taylor, Prosise, Marshall, and Drake as options for us in the mid rounds

What was one of our biggest problems last year? The running game. If there's good high ranking caliber RB when it's our turn to pick, it would not suprise me if McC makes that the 1st pick.

Very big problem imo...but you think Elliot could be the pick at 21? Id be shocked if he was there or if McC went RB first.

I think McC likes Matt Jones a ton and sees him as the lead back to start the season

I think we've got other more pressing needs than taking a RB in the 1st.

What if Elliot fell? That's the only RB I'd take with that first pick.

No way, because we would most likely get a slew of trade partners at that point.
It would also convolute our RB depth chart.
We need defense defense defense.....

If Derrick Henry was sitting there in the 3rd round, I'd seriously consider him.
