Starting to gain some hype as he should have been a while ago.
Think a bigger, faster abdullah. Mayock said a borderline first rounder. Scouts inc (ESPN.COM) has him as an 86 grade currently. (henry was an 80 last year in perspective)
I don't know why we aren't talking about this kid as a strong possibility for 1.05 convo. For me he is firmly in the conversation with Mccaffrey, Foreman and others.
Thoughts?

Re: Alvin Kamara
On the sites I read he is being mocked in the late 1st / early 2nd so I assumed there was hype.
Re: Alvin Kamara
I just don't get the hype with him. I'm not sure what I'm not seeing on film. He has a small workload. He is exciting with the ball but he seems more like a edge/space player. Not a between the tackles player. His game against Georgia he gets tackled so easily and violently. I'm probably going to miss out on him.

Re: Alvin Kamara
Yeah the question was why he didn't do more after Hurd left. Workload didn't change much.Jason3123 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:20 pm I just don't get the hype with him.

I like his upside. Great speed and quickness. Hope he lasts to the end of the 1st.

Re: Alvin Kamara
I had my eye on him as more of a late first/early second for rookie drafts, but with some of the NFL mocks landing him in spots like GB, I figured he may get over hyped.

Re: Alvin Kamara
And let me elaborate. I do like him, but this hype about him going high in the draft and rookie drafts is too rich for me.

Re: Alvin Kamara
I agree in what I've watched from him I don't see why people love him so much. Looks like a souped up Charles simms. Bucky brooks and Jeremiah are really high on him. I just like guys that can go between the tackles. Elijah McGuire looks similar but better reminds me of shady.

Re: Alvin Kamara
I'm impressed by his tape, but I'm still not convinced he is a RB1 in the NFL. Id target him early-mid 2nd.

Re: Alvin Kamara
I agree. I'm not seeing what everyone is talking about with this guy. He looks like a Bishop Sankey player to meJason3123 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:20 pm I just don't get the hype with him.

Re: Alvin Kamara
Saying he is a bigger/faster Abdullah is pretty silly, I think. Abdullah has 2 separate years with more rushing yards than Kamara had in his entire college career, and another that is almost even with Kamara's career rushing stats. Also, I will be pretty surprised if he matches Abdullah's workout numbers in the drills outside of 40 at 215 lbs.
Dynasty player since 2002.
I probably should have done something more productive with that time...

Alvin Kamara
This rotoworld mock draft has him going 10th(!) to the Bills:
http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/7 ... -draft-iii
If he does go in the 1st round in the NFL draft, where does he go in dynasty rookie drafts? I have a hard time seeing him go top 10 in the NFL draft, but later in the 1st seems plausible.
http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/7 ... -draft-iii
What are your guys thoughts on Kamara? I haven't watched much tape of him, but he obviously had a pretty decent combine. I'd love to hear any thoughts from those of you who have watched him more than I have.10. Buffalo Bills - RB Alvin Kamara, Tennessee - Surprise. The NFL likes Kamara more than those of us on the outside. The running game will be critical for the Bills success, as it was last season. I love LeSean McCoy. Love. But some have suggested he is an awkward fit in the new running scheme.
