The only guy in the world that can pull this off.


Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount would like a back room word with you. :P

Blount may no longer be able to pull off the spin move at the end of that video but it wasn't that long ago that he could have.


Nick Chubb when he's healthy.


Never seen anyone hurdle a guy trying to get the edge, then ACTUALLY get the edge.

Wait a minute...! Someone is plagiarizing my assessment of the guy. I made the comparison weeks ago. The real story now is that he won't make it out of the first round; and maybe even the top 15:

John Ross - WR - Huskies

Washington WR coach Butch Hamdan said that "the game’s slowing down a little bit [for senior WR John Ross], for sure, from a route-running standpoint"

"Just understanding when to use his speed, when he’s got to kind of trust his technique and slow down a little bit," Hamdan said. "I think he’s become a stronger player, better against press coverage. Just overall a more complete player." The 5-foot-11, 179-pound speed demon has caught 30 passes for 379 yards and nine touchdowns through six games. An NFC scout said earlier this month that Ross has the potential to "end up being being a better pro than Brandin Cooks."

Kizer, Watson and Garrett are off the board. Niners with the 4th pick. What do you do?

I wouldn't take Watson anywhere in the first, so he'd be out of the equation regardless.

If Kizer and Garrett are gone, I'm looking at Charles Harris or Marlon Humphrey.

Leonard Fournette. Trade Hyde for a 3rd and a conditional.

Trade down to the Charles Harris range and try to pick up Corey Davis in the late 1st / early 2nd.

With all the Baalke misses, they need to go for a sure thing, if that means not trading down.

All those picks he got by trading down and the team has nothing to show for it. They didn't trade down and drafted Willis, Smith, Vernon Davis and others. They need to collect some top 10 talent for awhile.

Picking 4th doesn't mean you're getting a sure thing. There's only 1 sure thing in this draft, and it's Myles Garrett.

Besides, Balke might not even be the GM next year.

This kid reminds me a lot of Le'Veon Bell. If he chooses to enter the draft he might be the 2nd or 3rd back taken depending on a team's scheme. He's definitely a first round talent:

Joe Mixon - RB - Sooners

Oklahoma redshirt sophomore RB Joe Mixon totaled 377 yards between rushing and receiving in Saturday's 66-59 win over Texas Tech.

In a game that defense forgot, the statistics for all of the key parties involved almost certainly swung quite a few fantasy contests. Mixon owners saw the 6-foot-2, 211-pounder shine in the absence of Samaje Perine. He scored three touchdowns as a receiver and two as a runner. Among his five scores, a spectacular one-handed grab in the third quarter. On that one, he hauled in Baker Mayfield's pass with one paw along the right sideline, maintained his balance and turned up the jets for the 43-yard sprint to the end zone. Perine is expected to miss at least one more week, making Mixon a must-start against Kansas next Saturday.

Nixon is a stud but has some off-field issues.

Fournette is legit.

But picking a RB that high on our team, especially in a LOADED RB class, is suicide. Terrible decision.

Yeah he would. Unfortunately, the Niners took Armstead instead of Shane Ray in '15, so they need an OLB instead of a DE.

Yeah Sick I know just wishful thinking. Allen WOULD be the Justin Smith replacement and might allow Lynch and others to run free at qbs. But we have Buckner and Armstead who have shown some flashes with pressure but who get blown backwards on running plays.

Niners would own the #2 overall pick if the season ended today.

Once Cutler comes back for the Bears, he might be able to put some distance between the Niners & the 3rd pick. :D

Myles, here we come! 8-)

both prospects available, Kizer or Garrett?

If Kizer, which prospect would you compare him to from the last few drafts or so?

If Garrett, which prospect would you compare him to from the last few drafts or so?

QB.

Always the QB.

As for comparisons...kinda hard to find out for Kizer. I see a little bit of a more athletic Roethlisberger in him. For Garrett, I think a shorter Julius Peppers is a good comparison. He's got that same athletic, basket ball type body.
