Perine

I think Marlon Mack is a game breaker, but I don't like all the career fumbles and I think he needs to get in the weight room. Upside is good on him though.

Looks like CB underestimated the attention the RB's would receive.  Now we are left with the leftovers.  Even his old team traded up to get one among others.  I know it's a deep class but this is ridiculous. If he sits there and doesn't make a trade a few more will go off.  I really thought he would trade back into the third.  Now we could be stuck with an old Frank Gore and a mediocre running game again that no one will respect.  Of course he could acquire another aging RB like Grigson did.  Loved the 1st. three picks but he apparently is going to settle for what the 8th or 9th best RB on the board. Really?  And that assumes we even draft one.  He's a rookie GM and he was really outmaneuvered on what the other GM's saw in this RB class.  He said he was going to make mistakes and it looks like he made one on the RB position.  We shall see.

He didn't make any mistake. There's really no difference between any of the rbs left now, and the ones that got taken besides Fournette, Cook, McCaffrey, and Mixon. After those 4, they all blend together around this time, and the only way we get one of them is take them with a 1st or a 2nd on mixon. You just wanted an rb in the 1st round lol. I remember your posts.  

[MTC]

I still believe there a few running backs left that have starting potential:

South Florida RB Marlon Mack

Boise State RB Jeremy McNichols

Oklahoma State RB Samaje Perine

Wyoming RB Brian Hill

 

UTEP RB Aaron Jones is my sleeper pick as an UDFA.

1 2 3 everyone shout Draft TJ Logan!!!!

[funktacious2]

My gut tells me Mack or Hill. I hope It's Mack, but would be also be happy with Perine, just don't know if Perine is our guy. Prefer Mack for his versatility. Offers something great for next season, not just until Gore is done.

You love the first 3 picks AND think he failed. That's impressive. 

[wig]

I like Mack a lot. Also wouldn't mind doubling down and getting a combo like Perine and Pumphrey.

LOL, he said that? I know he's an eternal optimist, but at least be consistent. You can't suck up to Ballard, then criticize him. Can't have your cake and eat it too. If he did well, he did well. He didn't do well, and get "outmaneuvered". LOL.

I was thinking the same. In this deep RB class, getting two of them in the 4th is the best solution. I would prefer the exact same two RBs as you. Get them, and someone like Howard Wilson at CB in the 4th, along with a 5th round O-Lineman like Bisnowaty, and this draft is perfect.

I was watching NFL network and they asked Charlie Casserly about Perine. Casserly said he was a sleeper who could be a 1000 yard back in a one cut zone blocking scheme

I would not be opposed at all to drafting him. And since the Colts have three 4th round picks, they should take him if given the chance

[Pointz]

I like Perine. I think his grinding style is similar to Gore and he could provide a smash mouth element to the offense. Maybe a McNichols late as third down guy.

None are left lol. We're rolling with two old backs this season. lol 

Or we trade for Bernard or Jeremy Hill. One of them gets cut or traded.

You are panicking Rich. Still a guy or two out there. Plus another pick that can be used on O line. We are in good hands.

I'm wondering where they see Brandon Wilson from Houston in this? I remember they went to his pro day.

My round 5 dream pick. Great in the nickel, he's coming from Houstons bail zone scheme which makes you wonder how he'd translate to a press man scheme, but his skill set matches what we look for in our corners. Also has return ability

[stitches]

Physical type:

Semaje Perine

Brian Hill

Tion Green

 

Speedy elusive type:

TJ Logan

Joe Williams

 

Potential 3 downs backs:

Jamaal Williams

Wayne Gallman

Jeremy McNichols

Aaron Jones

Marlon Mack

I believe he converted to RB for the NFL. I just watched a couple clips on Youtube and I actually think he could be really good. Moves pretty well and has the afterburners you look for and good size. Seems like a Colt type pick because he can do it all from defense to offense to special teams. Low tread on his tires as a runner.

Would you draft him as a runner though? It's a huge projection, IMO. Or would you try to get him as a priority FA?

I dont know what their plans are. If it were me it would be FA or 6th or 7th round if we traded back.

I was thinking the same thing, only the combo of Perine & TJ Logan, with Logan having return potential...

[Defjamz26]

Perrine, Hill, and Gallman are my favorite options. Wouldn't be mad if we picked up a scat back as well though.

If I had my choice between the two, I would take Perine. He just has so much potential. Such a good RB in every sense of the word

True. But Hill though. 6'1" with a 4.51 40. Offense didn't ask him to catch a lot in college but he can do it. So much potential.

I too like Perine.  Quite simply I cannot ignore his Sooners career rushing record, all the greats that he exceeded.  I really think he is going to surprise a lot of people!

 

Also, am the only one here still very impressed by Gore?  Forget about his age, he's coming off of a 1,000 yard season and I happen to think he's still pretty darn good.  Yeah, I agree we need to find the RB of the future, but I think we're perfectly fine with Gore for 2017.

I think Gore is still capable of another good season. But I do think a RB needs to be a priority in the 4th round today. Have Gore teach the rookie everything he knows. I have no doubt that rookie would become a stud under Gore's tutelage

Agreed ... and I hope Perine is the selection.

I like him but not as much as Perine. But with Chris Ballard making the decisions, the Colts will be fine

Gallman had 4.9 YPC on a national championship roster. That sounds good by NFL standards, but in college that's garbage. He's not a receiving threat. He provides no big play ability.

 

He's way down the list of guys available

 

Gallman would be ok if we had a speed back to compliment him......

...which we don't.

 

[BPindy]

I think Perine or Hill can be every bit as good as any back not named Fournette or Mixon. I'm not worried. And even if CB decides against an RB entirely, Gore will be fine this year with Turbin to complement.

I'm high on Tarik Cohen.  like Ferguson, but no droppsies, and a lot better field vision.  Smaller school, yes, but watch his tape and you'll see what i'm talking about.

 

 

 

wow, i'm sold (later rounds would be a gift from the heavens)

[MPStack]

I guess my biggest concern with Perine is how he fits in a ZBS. His game seems to be power, not one-cut and go. Perine`s game is more about power, which doesn`t seem ideal for the Colts.

[Happy2BeHere]

Of all the RB's available I'd take Jamaal Williams from BYU. I'm obviously biased because I have watched him play over the years more than any other back however he is very disciplined on the field and an extremely hard runner. He also has great ability to pick up the blocks. I think he will do very well wherever he ends up.
