More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."

[Nanananananana]

Did anyone else rub their eyes when they saw Taulia Tagovailoa was 2/3 passing for Alabama?

I did the same, thought it was a typo till I saw you post this

[cantguardjake]

Have any other dynasty gms taken note of ASU SR WR Brandon Aiyuk? May or may not translate to fantasy but there's an explosiveness to his play style that caught my eye...I did some research and he's popping up on Big Boards and such. McShay has him over Shenault for now.
Additionally, Herm Edwards said on a radio show the other day that 10 scouts attended practice on 11/21 to watch Aiyuk.

Aiyuk is electric.

When you evaluate RB in this class say Taylor, Etienne, Swift, Dobbins and the others.

How much more do you value a player like Dobbins, when he runs over ranked teams like Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan State.
Compared to a player like Etienne who "only" played Texas A&M as a ranked team and didnt do it well against them. ?

The same could be said about AJ Dillon and problably a few others.

I’d say it all factors in and I’m not the biggest Etienne fan but he did have a big game in the National Championship game against Alabama last year. Personally I just think The other 3 have games that translate to the NFL better.

Completely agree.

We al know TOP rated RBs in this class, I think the real sleeper will be Clyde Edwards-Helaire, be familiar with him, great potential

This is where I'm at, can't seem to like what I see from Etienne, my rankings would still be Swift, Taylor, then Dobbins. The gap is closing albeit slowly but I have noticed Dobbins creeping up my list, he could end up being the best rb in this class and I wouldn't be at all shocked.

I love dobbins at 1.04, dude reminds me of kamara, can run, can catch, not a burner per se but has the speed to rip off long runs but what is the most impressive is his lateral agility and contact balance. He looks like he has all the tools to excel in the NFL, I would put him into tier 1 of this draft as of today.

So many players have reminded so many people of Kamara the last few years, yet there are no other Kamaras in the NFL. All the Henderson fanboys were comparing him to Kamara last year...

I never really got that, Henderson was a home run hitter but he didnt have the contact balance/phone booth jukes Kamara nad Dobbins got. Obviously we have no clue how good Dobbins will be in the NFL, but his playstyle and strengths/traits remind me of Kamara

I havent seen them play, so I got highlights video and stats, and bye quickly looking at the stats between the 4 I would put them Taylor, Dobbins, Swift and Etienne..

These Taylor stats looks crazy, and somewhat make me think of MG, when he came from the same school.

Is that a fair comp.?

I think Taylor is much more talented than Melvin Gordon but one of the reason I still have Swift over Taylor is their teams track records with NFL RBs, Gurley, Chubb vs Ball, Gordon.... Hard to look past that

I’m planting my flag ... Etienne will be the #2 RB in 2020 draft behind Swift (I give Swift the nod over Etienne only because of his receiving abilities).

Per PFF:

Etienne is doing absurd things this year at the running back position. He’s broken 70 tackles on 153 attempts and is averaging 5.74 yards after contact per attempt. Those numbers are out of this world. His 0.46 broken tackles per attempt would be the best mark we’ve ever seen in a single season by a ways.

I see it differently, I see a guy getting tons of yards without being touched, ala Darell Henderson last year. I think Etienne will be a mock draft/fantasy darling but will go surprisingly late in the NFL draft.
