Jeanty reminds me of Ezekiel Elliot without the benefit of playing against good competition.
I tend to think RBs are individually unique but in this case, he reminds me a lot more of a different Cowboys RB.

DL for sure but a quick twitch DT is of equal need. Maybe a guy that can play both depending on down.
I don't think i'd say he's quick twitch but Odeyingbo can play inside and outside. I don't think we have room for another 3T with G.Dexter, G.Jarrett, Chris Williams and Odeyingbo but we could use someone to play the 1T behind Billings for next year and then take over starting doodies after that.

Kollman takes 31 minutes to half-answer the question: "Should Runnings Backs go in the Top 10 (of the draft)?"


Im only 3 minutes in while drinking my morning coffees but im guessing the answer is "probably not but sometimes yes".

Edit: I have been jebaited, running back section is only 7 minutes long.

Any player can demand something. Whether the team feels it’s in the best interest is up to the Bears.

Players are human beings not Madden spreadsheet numbers.
Well, we’re going to argue over the definition of “demand” I guess. You are simultaneously saying he can demand something, but the team can ignore it. By my definition, then it’s not “demanding“.

He can request. But if you don’t have the power to make it happen, you’re not making a demand.

Anyone taking him in the 2nd is a fool.
There is a lot of mileage on those legs. He was the Sac St. offense for two years before he became the Arizona St. offense for 2 years.

He ran a 4.65 per dane brugler

Slowest RB in the draft on tape and in the 40

I am not a fan unless he's a 4th/5th rounder. We need a guy with more explosion, particularly because swift is almost guaranteed to be gone in 2026 unless he has a pro bowl level year.

I'm ambivalent on him but that 40 wouldn't change my opinion as he's never looked fast. His 10 yd split would be a lot more important to me. He did a 39.5" vert and a 10'3" broad so it's not like he lacks dynamics.

Its not like he's a WR doing jump balls in the endzone, not sure what vert/broad really matters when you're getting chased down by linebackers who are faster than you.

The guy is a 5th round prospect who likely goes in the 2nd because of a great bowl game performance.

He'd be a great pairing with swift, but I'm not trying to do that in the 2nd. If he was there in the 4th/5th then sure. I know a lot of people love him because of his contact balance but tackling in CFB is just ass cheeks. Same situation with jeanty, but unlike cam, jeanty has a lot more to his game than just bouncing off tackles

Sure he could be good, but his ceiling is david montgomery likely in the NFL, and even that is being generous.

I believe the actual top draft journalist who puts out a fucking bible for the draft every year. Not some random ASU newspaper.
Except pro scouts were in attendance also.......................just saying.
