RB Trey Sermon

Elite change of direction and short area agility. Also has elite balance and great power. Honestly the only negative I see on this guy is a lack of elite top-end speed, which doesn't bother me. Some highlights of his I thought I was watching Frank Gore. Other highlights he looked like Alvin Kamara, and then on other highlights he looked like Arian Foster.

Stud.

I agree, this was a great pick

Yeah, I agree - nice pick.

I know you're being a smartass and all, but he did have 193 yards vs. Clemson. You're right the kid did look good.

That's great. He had 1 carrie for 2 yards and tapped out vs Bama. Hoo rah

Decent pick though I'm confident we could have found value at RB with one of those fourth round picks we traded away.

Does that one carry negate the rest of his tape? He looks like a really good back to me. Explosive out of his cuts, perfect power complement in the zone running scheme. Home-run pick in my eyes.

Show me in the doll where Kyle hurt you when he selected Trey Lance.

And that means absolutely nothing. You think he had 1 carry because he simply just sucked or isn't good??

What's his 10 yard split that I keep hearing about and how's it compared to the other backs? He does have a great burst and I love how he broke some Eddie George and Zeke Elliots records. (Single game/3 game total)

Awesome pick, will probably be our starter if they let Mostert walk next year when he asks for huge money. This dude can play. All our skill positions are tackle breakers. This is gonna be an offense no defense will want to play against

Tthat's what I was thinking.

We might see a lot of Shanahan ran on offense back when he was with Washington and this guy might be their Alfred Morris

Not the biggest positional need we had, but for a 4th round it's worth it.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if he's named the starter out of camp. If so, he'll be a legit OROY contender.

After Trey Lance of course.

I wonder if he reminds Shanny of a guy he worked with in 2009 who was the greatest wide zone runner I've ever seen and wasn't a speed demon

This was my first thought. Love the conviction to go get this dude. Gives us a true RB1, and then we can mix in the UDFA speedsters like Mostert.

LOL!
Let's pump the brakes here! Mostert is ELITE (though tending to be injury prone). This guy has nowhere near Mostert's burst or speed. And he hasn't taken an NFL snap yet.

Really didn't think that this was a position of need. RB was one position I though the team was set at. Three solid guys already on the roster. Competition never hurts, and he'll possibly be quite good. But the team needs shoring up in more critical areas to be squandering draft choices on luxury picks. Very thin in the defensive backfield. Edge. Even OL.

Still . . . now that it's water under the bridge, I hope he balls!

Dude's gotta be careful trying to leap against NFL talent.
