Ripkowski is a cool name for a FB. That's all I've got.

Doesn't have a name that the whole crowd can say at once. Bust.

I always get excited about fullbacks who actually know how to lead block.

Linebacker? I don't see any other reason for this.

Maybe he's good on special teams? That seems to be something we're going for this year.

He won't be a LB imo. Top rated FB by Mayock. Doesn't catch or run but lights people up in the hole. Might be a solid pick if he doesn't end his career from trying to kill someone.

This guy knows how to lead block. Something we have been sorely lacking from our fullback position.

Seems like a guy we can get with our last pick or UDFA.

Seems like this is a bit of a reactionary draft. Trying to help score from the 1 yardline as well as a ST guy?

I think Lacy is better in single back sets so this is a gigantic meh for me.

Exactly. He actually fits a need.
