Cam Skattebo-RB-ASU

Shanahan has to seriously consider him now that Guerendo is injured. Yes it won't be long term but Guerendo is always getting injured.

Do you all know that he could pass as Jake Moody's twin? With that said he keeps popping up in the 3rd round for us with PFF's mock draft sim.

Not sure i can trust Atrains evaluations moving forward. Not sure what he's watching. Jeanty absolutely has long speed. He's not Gibbs or Achane (who is?), but he's definitely gonna pull away from defenders at a frequent enough clip in the NFL.

As for his pass game usage: evaluate the player, not the stat sheet. It's been seen countless times; player in the NFL excels at something they weren't asked to do in college. Your job when evaluating a player is to determine whether or not them not being asked to something means they can't do that thing. Luckily, Jeanty caught 43 balls for 569 yards last year. You can go back and watch and collect plenty of evidence as to why you think he can't be utilized in the pass game.

As for OP, Skattebo is legit. But for all of his strengths in a player of his mold, Kaleb Johnson is better.

Can definitely see Kyle going for him in the 3rd, they can probably let go of juice and have skattebo take over. Dudes big enough and can catch

If we take a FB project in the 3rd I'll be leading the fire Kyle and Lynch mob. Cam is a RB not a FB

From what I have seen I agree. Why do folks think he can and would want to be a FB?

Reminds me of old Jax RB, MJD

What's wrong with thinking he could play FB? That isn't a bad thing; it adds value to a team, especially ours. But to be clear; he would be "drafted" to be a RB for sure

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I see Cam as dominant in the NCAA but a late round prospect in the NFL. The lack of NFL-level burst or speed is going to reduce his value in the NFL + his injury concerns. Change of pace type back.

He has enough burst and has the best pad level + balance I may have ever seen

Really depends on the team. If a team drafts him to be Gibbs, they'll be disappointed.

Lots of backs have shown plenty of speed despite running mid 4.5s (Kamara). Frank Gore ran a 4.58 and was never a burner.

Kyren Williams ran a 4.65 40 and went in the 5th. James Conner ran a 4.65 and went in the 3rd.

I give Skat a 4th round grade. I think his draft spot is late 3rd-5th.

I think Skat as a pass catcher is pretty unique. He might be the bast pass catching RB in the draft (for example he beat Texas safety deep on a pass route).

is Cam really 5'11'' ?

It's not a knock on him thinking he can play FB it's a knock on the idea of taking a FB in the 3rd round. We've taken worst in the 3rd round though
