An RB in the 6th round works for me. Question is...a backup for Rham or Hendo?

Someone with kick return ability, hopefully.

Adam Randall is the popular choice. Has some KR ability, receiving ability, and is big. Could possibly fill a lot of roles. And as the RB3, gets time to further hone is RB skills/instincts.

Black is listed as a 5th/6th rounder by Brugler. Draftscout says he could go anywhere from Priority UDFA to 4th round.

Not sure why there seems to be such a big discrepancy for him..

6th year senior, who is a solid, tough, reliable workhorse between the tackles back, but is 211lb. Fearless in pass protection, but has also shown no receiving production at all (7 targets was his best season).

So he's older, pretty one dimensional, and a combine snub, which is probably why the variance in round grades. The Pats had him in for a 30 visit last week, he'd back up Stevenson on early downs here I imagine.

Bleacher report said his nfl comparison was Monangai.

Interesting RB and TE evals relative to fit for Denver:

I like Kaelon Black in the same way I liked Kyle Monangai last year. Just a good solid reliable RB.

Kaelon Black's 1.53 10 yard split would have been joint fastest at the combine with Mike Washington.

Brugler on Kaelon Black. Said he asked Maryland safety Jalen Huskey at the Shrine Game who the hardest person he had to tackle was and Black was the first name he mentioned.
