Javonte > all the rest?

Postby Cojo 2020 » Fri Aug 27, 2021 11:57 am

Am I the only one that things Javonte Williams will be the best RB to come out of this class? I've been so impressed with his balance and ability to get yards after contact. I know he isn't very fast, but I feel that his speed and strength combination is well above average. Just curious if I am alone in this thinking....

He certainly has a chance. Great skill set and opportunity, but Harris is in the same boat if the line improves.

I am iffy on him. I like him, but not sure how well running over guys will translate in the NFL at his size. It isn't the ACC anymore. There are a lot of tackles that he broke in college from lesser athletes that just won't happen in the NFL. That said, I think this RB class is really weak, so he certainly has a shot to be the best of the bunch.

Not with the sheer volume Najee is getting this year. He might be the single best value in 2nd round redraft leagues this year.

But Javonte will obviously finish the 2nd best rookie RB with Etienne out... And I would have wagered he finished 2nd even with Etienne healthy.

I briefly considered him at 1.03 but went with Pitts. he wound up going 1.07. I have concerns with that coaching staff, and if Vic Fangio lasts beyond this year and what happens if he doesn't, or if Aaron Rodgers comes in next season etc. I didn't like the instability but now that Teddy B is the QB Javonte might thrive in a more vanilla ball control style offense

Aaron Rodgers coming to Denver would be a bad thing for Javonte???
