2025 RB thread

Hey, if his pass pro is iffy, maybe he falls to Rd4. That'd be a fair spot for the double dip. Earlier than ideal, but BPA, right? :koolaid:

Too much talent on the roster to double dip like that

Sources: Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson visited the #Cowboys, #Bengals and #Panthers — and has had several Zoom meetings with other teams as well.

Touted for his electric running style and elite pass protection skills, Henderson is, according to an NFL personnel director:

“One of the most exciting players in the draft and a very clean prospect. Home run threat every touch who can hurt you lining up out wide. Very dangerous in space. Multiple Pro Bowl caliber talent.”

He is going to be great and if we don’t get Jeanty I’m all over that.

I like Judkins a bit more. Less injury history to worry about and more built for the demand of a heavy workload but still offers some pop to his game. Can’t have both our top two picks be brittle. Maybe follow up Judkins later on with a speedster type

    • 2022:
      Henderson missed five games due to a fractured bone and torn ligaments in his left foot. He still managed to play in eight games, rushing for 571 yards and six touchdowns.
    • 2023:
      Henderson missed time due to an undisclosed injury, including the Maryland game and three other games.
    • Overall:
      While he has experienced injuries, his ability to return to the field after each injury suggests he is a resilient player.
    • 2024:
      He played in all 16 games, likely due to the added depth in the Ohio State backfield with the arrival of Quinshon Judkins

He’s a game breaker. Definitely need a power guy to pair him with.

For me I always prefer the more physical type RB that can do it all. It’s not like Judkins is a slow plodding RB. He’s a 4.48 guy as well. I may look to the later rounds for that “game breaker” like RJ Harvey or maybe Tuten. If I felt the need to. Not sure if I would really “need” that guy with Judkins. As he can still a well rounded RB

But if we went Henderson and say Martinez or Tahj Brooks I wouldn’t be too upset. However the idea I would spend a 2nd round pick on a RB that I felt I had to draft another RB later on so my 1st guy doesn’t get too many touches is not all that exciting either.

we can re-visit this later. Henderson is gonna be a star and a real dual threat.

If you take Henderson it's a given you platoon him. Judkins can grind but he's not going to be the playmaker that Henderson is.

I'm very happy if we end up with any of my top 3 backs. Id even trade up from our 2nd to ensure it.

No doubt he’ll be a dual threat and a potential star. I just wonder if he can handle a workload. Nothing wrong with a guy who is like Gibbs but a step below. You would still be quite happy with that. As I said I always lean towards a more rugged type runner. The guy who can handle 25+ touches a game. Not that it’s even typical in todays NFL… Just my preference in any RB class I always like those type guys.
 
Achane or Jahmyr if you are really lucky. He's a good prospect.

Neither of those guys "carry the load" but can bust shit open at any point and change how defenses line up.

Deadly in the passing game.

Kamara is who he reminds me of mostly. Id take a garner-wheatley situation again.
 
Next years RB class is looking pretty nice as well. Not saying avoid one this year or anything. But say you get Henderson this year maybe follow up next year with one off the Penn State Boys Allen and Singleton. Both of them would be in the same conversation as potential early 2nd round picks
 
I’m fine taking two RBs this year. Honestly, I’m fine taking Jeanty at 1.6. It’s not like he’s not a stud. To the previous point though, not taking a RB at the sweet spot for taking RBs just because you already have one is poor logic too. You need at least two and we have zero.

Ill give McCormick a half a point. Mostert isn't bad if healthy. But we need a "guy" to pair with him.
