2019 Rookie RB Review By dlf_mikeh / The Other RB Guru / ...... Updated (3/02)

How did D Singletary look

[MEuRaH]

Trayveon Williams - The only power runner at the bottom of this list. He could be something like a Jeremy Langford. He'll show a spark and be worth a 1st rounder real quick, but then fizzle out and disappear. Worth a late flyer just for the sake of trading him later.

If you were to put odds on some of these guys at he bottom or your ranking breaking out, which would you say have the best chances? This obviously is before landing spots are known.

This right here but not because I believe in the guy. Sometimes RBs are easily flippable when they get a chance to shine.

As expected, Sanders clearly looked better than everyone else today. That was a good call. I have had Jacobs #1 for a while but Sanders certainly closed the gap. Location could determine which fantasy back goes first IMO. I have multiple picks in one league and may pull the trigger on one at 1.2. Sanders is now in the mix.

The back I wanted to see today was Holyfiled more than anyone because I was having a hard time grading him. Thought he had a rough day. Looked very labored running today. My guess is he really hurt his draft stock today.

Will be interesting to see how some of their Pro days compare.

The sooner you make Sanders your #1, the better. Heed my warnings & look at my RB grading history. Everyone gave TRich their #1 rating as well. Forget what other say and watch the tape. Behold the greatness as you watch Sanders turn a 1-2 yard run into a 5-6 yard gain over and over again. Forget the big plays, LOOK AT THE SMALL ONES!

Hahaha

For the record, I was one of the very few in the fantasy world that Thought T. Richardson was a complete Bust and took him off my board completely. I took a lot a grief back in the day for that call but was proven right. He was a product of their line play IMO. I was shocked how high he went in the draft.

I do look at the small plays and also evaluate the QB tape to see what the RB's do on those plays. The bust in this draft IMO is Montgomery who is a player I want no part of.

I am extremely high on Sanders. Not ready to make Sanders my #1 but will say he is 1B at this point. I keep thinking he will be a Lion which will really make KJ owners squirm since I have him rated much higher.

Like Jacobs build and hand size a bit better but have them really close. I have them close enough, where they go will matter most likely.

What are your thoughts on Alex Barnes?

This, in all cases, for all positions! I stop paying attention to plays when the player has broken away from the defense.

Kid is strong. Had a good showing with bench press. Wasn’t fast.

Eh, I mean he wasn’t slow. 4.59 is not bad at all for 228 lb power backs.

This is big for me too. Pure highlight reels are worthless imo. I wanna see the breakdowns of every snap. I wanna see where a back pass protects, or doesn’t get the ball and gets downfield to block, or makes 4 yards out of nothing, etc. less impressed when they bust a huge play where the blocking made a lane I could run through, or snag a ball because no one was even covering em and they bust a 15 yarder off it

Meurah has already posted his name in “coming soon” I believe. Looking forward to it as well as I know very little about him

Yeah I got bad news about that. I spent several hours doing write ups for the names mentioned. My wife borrowed my laptop and accidentally spilled the rose vase with its water over the top of it and fried it yesterday morning. It felt like I was mourning a family member all day yesterday. My poor wife.... she was sick to her stomach.

Anyway my write ups are on that drive. Long story short, there's nobody that I thought would be a stud in that list, but the names I separated in a previous post are the ones I thought stood a better chance at being worth more value someday and then you could flip them for a profit.

a question i have about miles sanders https://www.nfl.com/prospects/miles-san ... c73965b54e

they talk about ball security, did you notice something we should worry about this?

There were indeed ball security issues 2 years ago. Last year it was much improved, one fumble every two games though. I’m not worried about it, very easily fixed via good coaching.
