Give me Chance/Cooper + this guy, and I'll be happy.

We improve, signinficantly too.

That's bill jones guy he keeps talking about.

claims he would be the fan favorite if we drafted him.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

He'd definitely be a fan favorite as he was at NU (and here he'd have the hometown thing going too) because his effort level is off the charts, but I don't know if he's a good enough athlete to be any good at this level. He's one of those guys that as much as you admire how hard he plays, he's probably physically maxed out.

Problem is, say Murray gets banged up like usual... I can't see any way this guy is your regular backup RB. I think best case he's a little like Kevin Faulk was at NE. Maybe a third down specialist who doesn't make a lot of big gains but is super dependable and gets you that six yards when it's 3rd and 5.

How plugged in is bill jones? He has us taking Fluker at 18

theebs can probably answer better, but I think he's pretty plugged in from the Babe connection. But he also loves to talk about the draft and throw out his own original ideas on players and what he thinks we should do, too.

It's kinda cool to have someone in the media who admits he's a draft nerd like the rest of us.

Did you watch his highlight video?

He looks plenty quick/athletic to me.

I know he has that whole white thing going against him, but still.

Yea I think bill likes him so much in part because he is from Plano.

He had us taking him in the third round of his mock Sunday.

I'm an NU fan so this is one guy I've actually watched for years...

You're right, he does have a little quickness, just no speed.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'd hate to have him on the team, but only with a really late pick because I think his role would have to be so limited. Like just seeing theebs' post -- third round? No, I'd be really pissed at that. Way too high IMO.

I think he probably has as good info or better than any national media guy. He hosts the blitz and works for the cowboys blue star media all the time.

I also think he doesn't pass on things he hears, much like brad sham rarely passes info. He is a high school and college football junkie. I think the guy knows more about high school than anyone. His mocks I think are his own though based on his view of college football.
