Sleeper RBs ,Monty /Gibbs comparison.

[MadOne 77]

So I've been on the Damian Martinez bandwagon for awhile. A 230/235 lb back that has some nice feet. Think he is Monty with a lil more burst. He has some nice games where he had over 75 yds RAC and averaged over 6yds a run average for the season.
My surprise was when Dylan Sampson declared. This kid has some JUICE!He could be as quick as Gibbs and he's only 20. Now, he could probably have stayed in school and been a late 1st early second round pick next year. Nevertheless I think after the combine next week these two are gonna be moving up some draft boards. Think Martinez is a 3rd/4th round pick and depending on combine Sampson could sneak into the 2nd.
Think the Bears could easily replace Swift with Sampson and not skip a beat. In fact he might be a bigger explosives runner than Swift. Martinez can could easily trump Johnson.

What round are you projecting?

REMINDS ME OF MONTY, NOTHING LIKE GIBBS.

Irv Mulligan, JSU. Maybe 4th-5th rounder.

You need to re-read his post. He didn’t say Martinez is like Gibbs that was Sampson.

I like RJ Harvey from UCF as a sleeper. He led the Big 12 in rushing last season.

Yes, the Big 12 is loaded with them.

I'm going with my guy LeQuint Allen (Syracuse)

I'd bet he's the best receiving RB in this draft. He's not going to cut on a dime on you but he can make his sudden movements to get around guys. I'll be keeping a very close eye on him at the combine, if he goes, to see his measurements and watch him in all the drills.

He reminds me of Matt Forte the way he plays.

Hadn't seen this highlight clip. His pass catching ability is above par for a bigger back.

 

[legendxofxlink]

Raheem Sanders might run a low 4.4 at close to 240. Could be your bigger back in the late rounds.

More like Roschon than Montgomery, still worth a flyer in the later rounds

Played for Oregon State before Miami. Bears just hired OS coach to be assistant OL coach. Might be a connection there to keep in mind

I’m a huge scaettebu fan, the guy from ASU. I think he has Walter Payton / leveon bell vibes and might be able to be had in round 3

I've read that this is a very deep RB class, and it could be possible to find a quality starting RB in rounds 3-5.

Given that this is a copycat league, though, I wonder if teams will prioritize the position after seeing the difference guys like Barkley, Henry, Jacobs, Gibbs, etc. have had on their respective teams and as a result, draft RBs earlier than they would have in the last few years.

I can definitely see a scenario where, once a couple of backs get drafted, a string of them go shortly after since teams don't want to miss out on the top ones.

If I had to comp him to a previous NFL RB, I’d suggest John Riggins.

Mario Anderson Jr Memphis 5th or later

maybe, still think Judkins, Henderson and the Iowa kid would be better choices
