That's what they said about David Johnson and Alvin Kamara. I don't love Wilkins' talent... but I don't love any of the other Colts RBs either. That pick was about opportunity. I picked Wilkins over Kelly cuz I thought there was a greater chance Kelly would still be on the board later.
Talent wise I like Mack much more than Wilkins

You're not seriously comparing Johnson and Kamara as prospects to Wilkins are you? They were far better prospects coming out of the draft

Of course I wasn't comparing them in terms of their talent-level. Just saying people were saying they lacked speed, vision, instincts, burst, whatever.

Johnson went 2.02 in our draft in 2015.... right after Dorial Green-Beckham and Jaelen Strong. John freaking Ross and Samaje Perine went before Kamara last year.

I like Mack's talent too.. I drafted him in Tecmo. But he struggles between the tackles and I'm not sure he'll develop into a consistent early down back.

I think we can all agree that none of those guys are a Mark Andrews level talent.

I'd have probably taken Samuels if he'd been there. Instead I'll swing for the fences with Ian Thomas as Greg Olsen's replacement in a year or two.

Really like my picks of Edmonds and Rudolph. Both in good positions if injuries come into play. Rudolph is likely replacement for Ben when he retires. If DJ isnt fully back to himself, Edmonds is better than any of their current backups.

I like Rudolph as a prospect... I didn't bother picking him because I don't see him being useful for possibly all 4 years of his rookie contract. Even if Ben gets hurt in the next 2 years, I don't see myself playing Rudolph over Goff. Felt like a waste of a pick to me, except maybe for the dude who owns Ben (except he's in the last year of his contact). But who knows... Ben is a freaking drama queen and talks about retiring every year, so...
