2025 Draft: RBs

With Josh aboard I want RB's Cam Skattebo and Trevor Etienne in this Draft.
 
Mostly in jest and as a result of the Josh McDaniels hire I went onto PFF to find a James White like back in this draft. Used PFF because it can tell you which backs lined up out wide and in the slot. Truth is, I found someone reasonable interesting.

LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse 6-0, 200lbs

He's not an elite rusher but did run for over 1,000 yards. however he's interesting both as a receiver and a pass blocker.

He ranks 1st amongst draftable running backs for snaps from the slot
3rd for snaps on the outside
1st in receptions
2nd in receiving yards
Graded 2nd in pass blocking only giving up 1 hurry
Only 1 fumble.

Not gonna lie, he looks like an ideal 3rd down back for McDaniels.


Dual Threat all over him RB is Deep this year.

As things are at present you'd probably have to use a 2nd on Skattebo. Obviously that can change but that's quite rich for a RB.

He's worth it manman. Over 1700yds Rushing and 600yds Receiving I believe. We had some sick RB's on Offense when Josh was around: I expect no different this time around.

And???


Throw some money at Naji Harris, maybe draft one of these guys. I know Skattebo looked inhuman vs Texas, but Texas ain't the NFL, and you know how much I like Texas. I like the kid a lot, but he's a day 3 pick. I like Judkins myself, but I don't want to take a RB in R1 or R2. I think Skattebo will get over drafted because of the Texas game. Maybe in R3 if there's a good pass catching option like Allen above.

You need a FB now, too. Remember that when building your offensive roster wish list.

Well, we can't draft everyone we see on TV have a nice game. Someone has to be a day 3 pick. Those picks are the ones that will make a difference. They aren't as fancy as a Heisman finalist, but they need a lot of help on this roster.
 
My pound the table guy at RB is Kalel Mullings from Michigan. He’s 6’1” 233lbs and is a big, physical, violent runner. He started his career as a LB so he has good vision and understanding of running lanes from both sides of the ball. He has excellent acceleration and burst, nimble feet for a guy his size and is a monster in short yardage.

He draws comparisons to Latavious Murray and Brian Robinson Jr, but I also see a bit of Marshawn Lynch with his balance after contact. He’s been a big time player for Michigan and I think he can be a bell cow running back in the NFL.

As a former LB’er he has great toughness and physicality. He is one of, if not the best pass protecting RB’s in the draft and loves to get his nose dirty. And if that isn’t enough, he is also a core special teamer. This is the kind of guy I love, just a real football player.

A double dip with Bhayshul Tuten would be great thunder and lightning duo.
I am the retired Fire Chief of the Newton Fire Department. I hired Kalel's father years ago. I can tell you that if he is anything like his father, we would be happy to have him on the team. His dad told me a few weeks ago that scouts are telling Kalel they expect him to go in the round 3 range. I would expect early day 3 is more likely.

Yeah no thanks. He probably has about a dozen concussions already lol
 
He claims it's OCD but the constant head shaking thing concerns me lol but worth a flier in the 5th

He'll be gone by the 5th. Someone will fall in love and over draft him.

Don't get me wrong I love that he trucks guys, but I fear that he's already got too much tread on those tires. Which is why I wanted a guy like Isaac Guerendo last year that hadn't been utilized much in college.

I'm in love with him as a Prospect I am not a fan of Rham. Josh McDaniels love him some pass catching RB's.
 
I got a huge man crush on Brashard Smith from SMU. Easily one of my favorite players in this draft. Got a little Percy Harvin in him as well as a shifty change of pace back that this team needs.

Josh McDaniels and Drake Maye could make a symphony out of this kid.
