Wisky looking to shake up the college playoffs big time. Melvin Gordon with probably the best season in Wisky history, but I think Taylor may be the best back. 3 years of dominance, starting as a freshman.

You dont see Najee Harris as a day 2 prospect?cantguardjay wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 7:06 pm I think at this stage Taylor is the only back with a chance of being drafted in the first round of the NFL draft.
Early predictions:
Taylor - late first to early second
Swift - early to mid second
Etienne - early to mid second
Dobbins - mid second to early third
Edwards-Helaire - third (size is the issue, he’s actually good)
Akers - third to early fourth
Hill - late third to fourth
Moss - fourth
Hubbard looks like a day 3 prospect to me and no one else is worth mentioning.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
So Tee Higgins is currently tied with Watkins and Hopkins for all-time TD’s as a Clemson WR. I think he could be under-rated right now... his whole team hasn’t played in the 4th quarter except for one game so far this year. He looks really smooth in his route running and has good top-end speed. Could be the next AJ Green type receiver... or maybe he just looks fast given who he’s been playing against . Will be very interested in seeing his combine numbers.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
One of the biggest reasons I personally have a hard time evaluating so many of these prospects and how they will do is the quality (or lack thereof) of defense in college. I've seen several highlights in twitter this evening and on every single one I can't help but think "wow that defense was terrible and would never happen in the NFL"
Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
At least it's kind of equally bad across the board (with some exceptions) so comparing within college (better yet within the same conference) should be fairly accurate, but thinking about the jump to the NFL and how they compare against established vets is trickierPhaded wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 9:30 pm One of the biggest reasons I personally have a hard time evaluating so many of these prospects and how they will do is the quality (or lack thereof) of defense in college.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
I feel Taylor is the more nuanced and instinctive runner, and he catches the ball well enough. Etienne's being afraid of catching the football a year or so ago really makes me feel his passing game upside will always be fairly limited.Forza_Azzurri wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:53 pmI agree on Swift because of receiving ability ... not sure on Taylor ... very close either way IMO.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:37 pmThere obviously is, but Taylor>Etienne IMO.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
Highlights aren't the way to evaluate them, for the most part. You have to sit through full game cut ups. It's not nearly as excited, but there is much more to be gleaned from those.Phaded wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 9:30 pm One of the biggest reasons I personally have a hard time evaluating so many of these prospects and how they will do is the quality (or lack thereof) of defense in college.

As ever, landing spot will be huge. Behind a weak O-line, in a weak scheme, someone like Hubbard could look like a bum. If he goes to somewhere like the 49ers though and gets that runway...

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
Admittedly I’ve only watched a few game cut ups of Harris because I didn’t really rate what I saw as I think he leaves a lot to be desired as a runner, however he is quite unique in the receiving game. I find it hard to evaluate him on that basis, however if he really is 6 2” I think that handicaps him at the next level. The only running back in the top 50 over 6 1” is Henry, who is the exception - and had a significantly better Bama career.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 8:39 pmHeight maybe, but he's 215.

Having said that I can see him being drafted in the fourth in the same vein as a Benny Snell from last year, but I don’t personally rate him.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
I think he's a far superior athlete to Snell. That looks pretty obvious to me. I would think he'd go before that, unless the RB's are pushed back due to depth. If Harris is a 4th rounder, than Snell was overdrafted by the Steelers, IMO. Harris is the far better player. Not only as a runner, but in terms of hands, no contest.cantguardjay wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 12:27 amAdmittedly I’ve only watched a few game cut ups of Harris because I didn’t really rate what I saw as I think he leaves a lot to be desired as a runner, however he is quite unique in the receiving game.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
Harris is definitely a superior athlete but Snell had a pretty solid college career running the football, he was just unfortunately as slow as they come. It was probably a bad comparison by me, I meant it more in the vein that they both had solid junior seasons but are a tier below the better backs in the class, but a tier above the rest.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:30 amI think he's a far superior athlete to Snell.

Damien Harris has arguably a better college career and he was a late third.

Re: More 2020 Hype: "If You Need A RB or WR, this is the draft for you."
Harris’ ability to deliver huge hits and have high level contaft balance is among the best in the class. He’s such a hard back even at 6’2” to tackle because he will break your arm tackles, hurdle you, lower his pads and level you, or utilize his incredible cutting ability at 6’2”. Add that onto his dynamic receiving ability out of the backfield. At 6’2” I think he’s legit the best receiver among the RBs in the class. He was also a highly ranked recruit as well that has proved he’s belonged.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 2:30 amI think he's a far superior athlete to Snell. That looks pretty obvious to me.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I’d personally be suprised if Harris didn’t go round 1 or 2 in the NFL draft.
