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?

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

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

truth. I mean I guess folks are thinking him and CMC in the backfield at the same time. He can block, but also get the ball etc.

Maybe, but imo Kyle will want a natural FB.

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.

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).

I'm not one that cares much about 40 time for RBs. It's more of the fact that the NFL is going to be faster and more physical, which is going to expose Cam at the next level.

Perfect change of pace day 3 pick - sure. But 2nd-3rd round projection seems like a massive reach in my mind.
