lord have mercy there are literal GEMS in this class. walking out of the draft without an additional body for the rb room will be a sin.

THANK YOU. YES! I’ve been championing him for us for awhile now and felt like no one else was on board. Great fit for McKinnon’s role!

How is DJ Giddens not being talked about? Dude has size, good speed, great vision, solid contract balance and elite elusiveness/lateral agility.

Also has experience as a receiver. Really like his game

Ever since Tyreek, I have looked at the running backs and thought one or two of them could be a good wide receiver in each draft. I think that's what Giddens is to me this year. I think he'd be a better NFL WR than he would be an RB.

That said, I do really like him a lot. One of the things I don't like is that he runs far too upright, and that his height, coupled with that running style, is going to get him smacked in the knees too much. The other thing is that he doesn't really run with any power for his size. I also don't think he has very good lateral agility, but what he does have is this nice, real quick side-hop step that he does that is super effective. Overall, though, I think he finds the running lanes pretty well, and he hits them fast. He has some jets, too. From all accounts, he's pretty bad when kept back to pass block, so his 3rd down value might diminish his overall value.

Dylan Sampson didn’t run at his pro day yesterday after not running at the combine. Wonder if that will push his stock down a bit? Think he’s a 3rd rd pick that could potentially fall to the 4th.

Good option for pick 95

247 reported he ran between 4.46 and 4.49 in the 40 at his pro day

Interesting. I thought he was faster than that.

Couch-Potato 03-12-2025 10:52 PM

that’s still pretty fast

Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson only ran the 40 at yesterday's pro day (and didn't disappoint).

4.42/1.58

Not too shabby!

I'd take him with the Titans pick.

Yeah, it is. But for some reason I thought he was a sub-4.4 guy. Not sure where I got that idea though.

Awesome agility!

Does signing Mitchell and Hunt change your position on RB being a top need in this draft?

In my opinion? No. There is a good chance if we draft someone with one of our first 4 picks they will be better than every RB we have. Does it change what I think the Chiefs will do? Yes. It's hard to see them drafting a guy with a top pick after signing two rbs. It sounds like they think they are good there for another year and will do something else unless a guy falls into their lap.

Snerd 03-14-2025 01:19 PM

I think they're just insurance in case things don't fall right to pick a RB.

staylor26 03-14-2025 01:24 PM

There's no way they're good with just running the same RB room back minus Perine and plus Mitchell. They're going to take a RB in this deep class 100%.
