Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
Etienne looks like a 4.4 guy based on film, Harris is likely a high 4.5 to low 4.6 guy . Javonte Williams is the one who might surprise people , he was a solid track runner in high school and I wouldnt be shocked to see him run 4.4 at 220-225Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 4:36 pmYeah, looking similar to 2019 so far. With regards to 40 times, etienne likely needs a high 4.3x or low 4.4x and najee needs a low 4.5x to make things interesting. There are people out there who do think both could happen, so we’ll see. Of course it’s going to be a mess with adjusting for pro day times. No combine really hurts.cantguardjake wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:32 pm I feel like it’s going to be another lean year like 2019 for your model DD, there is essentially zero productive size / speed freaks this year.
Hopefully Harris turns in a low 4.5 to make it interesting.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
I did not know that. Could vault him to RB1 easily if he runs a 4.4x and the others put up more lackluster timesKingsKing wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 6:48 pmEtienne looks like a 4.4 guy based on film, Harris is likely a high 4.5 to low 4.6 guy .

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
I expect Etienne to run 4.3x or 4.40, Harris to run 4.6x (would not surprise me if it were mid 4.6, either), Javonte ~4.47Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:24 pmI did not know that.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
Etienne could run a 4.0 flat, but its not going to changed the fact that he struggles to run between the tackles. He needs space.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
That is such a myth.
Etienne is too fast for his own good. If he were slower he might actually get credit for the tackle breaking, tough runner that he actually is.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
People will push narratives. We see it every year. I haven’t seen one valid argument against etienne yet. People see what others say and follow along. We live in a world where everyone wants the new shiny thing and since Etienne has been good since he entered college that’s not new and shiny. Najee on the other hand has shown more in this last season than he had prior so people like him more now because that’s shiny. Just like how Derrick Rose won the MVP over LeBron one year when he shouldn’t have.cantguardjake wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 5:13 amThat is such a myth.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
Wow. The perfect RB. So we can expect multiple 2000+ yd rushing seasons?

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
Didn't he lead the nation in yards after contact in 2019 in that vaunted RB group. Remember thinking he would have been the 1st RB selected last year.
Thinking you may be grasping at straws a bit here. My guess is he goes 1.1 in most rookie drafts this season.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
He has good contact balance no doubt, but he can pick up YAC to boost his stats via the passing game.
Its what I see on tape, needs large lanes, not a huge push, struggles with defenders right in his face.
Hes not the elite prospect many are making him out to be..
I won't argue with you about the 1.01 because many casual FF owners have a hand in ADP, but no chance would I take him 1.01. He won't be getting past Chase or Najee for me.

I am going to disagree with you on this one.
The only question mark I have with this player in pass protection which should come in time.
I would comp this player as a blend of Cook and Kamara as a RB prospect.
Nothing wrong with going WR at 1.1 which I often do myself but he doesn't have a weakness through the hole inside with that speed, burst, and contact balance at all IMO.
He should be a star in the NFL if he stay healthy and a major fantasy force for years.

Re: 2021 Rookie Tiers
Etienne literally led the NCAA in average yards per carry between the tackles at 8+ his freshman season, per PFF lol
He’s the only college player in history to have 2 1500 yard rushing seasons at 8+ ypc.
He set a PFF record for broken tackles per touch and broken tackle rate in 2019.
He doesn’t look like Zack Moss though so he can’t run inside.
My favourite Etienne stat is that in his junior year he had a total of 4 4th quarter carries for the entire season leading into the ACC championship game. He put up those numbers from 3 quarters a game.
He had 39 second half carries total compared to Chubbas 142 and Taylor’s 102.
On top of that he led all backs in receptions, yards and was top 3 in the nation (inclusive of wr) in yards after the catch this year, what more do people want lol
