Jeremiah having him as his #1 overall RB ahead of Brooks is pretty surprising, but if his body holds up I like him just as much if not more than Benson, Davis, Wright, Shipley, etc.
He is short, not small. Dude weighs 220 pounds.

He's older for a RB prospect(23), especially compared to some others still on the board. He has struggled with ball security in the past as well as pass blocking(which tbf is normal for rookie RBs). There's nothing about him that stands out to me. I'd have much preferred Jaylen Wright if we wanted a RB in R3

At least a couple times a month on a Friday or Saturday night when I’m a few tequilas deep I’ll pull up highlight videos on YouTube and watch Barry cook for a while. Lloyd doesn’t have the same top end speed Barry did but his stop/start acceleration, and change of direction ability, along with his build is eerily similar.
If you watch the highlight video from the first page go to the 1:30 mark where he changes directions in the backfield for a huge gain. I didn’t know much about him going into the draft, but the game tape has me intrigued and excited.

Funny, I was thinking we just drafted Josh Jacobs to backup Josh Jacobs. Barry is too far lol...but his elusiveness and quick moves are nice. I worry about him dancing too much and missing holes at first. He will struggle in the beginning until the NFL slows down...but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I kinda thought the same. Similar body types, quick feet, shifty, and explosive for a guy carrying 220 pounds. I love the pick and expect him to be a sizable contributor as a rookie, so long as he doesn't fumble in real games, thus losing confidence of the coaches.

Fumble issues are correctable with proper coaching and technique but the pass pro issues are a concern. Makes me think his role may be limited because of that and despite him looking like a better back with the ball in his hands, Dillon will be favored in year 1.

He could be a monster in LaFleur's offense if he isn't actually a fumbler in the NFL.skones wrote:Tape looks like a lot of fun. He definitely passes my super analytically driven, "does he pop" test.

Is pass pro actually a weakness?
