I was checking out the highlights of number nine on Clemson, and frankly he reminded me of Matt Jones. Can run away from people if he has space initially, but not much going for him otherwise. He has long strider speed and I don't think it will translate.

I don't watch college football, either, but my beef with the pick is about value, not need. Running backs are rarely first round value in 2021. I don't think this guy is going to be Fred Taylor level of ability, so I don't see him as offering good value.

Guys rushing for 1000+ yards doesn't seem to have a strong correlation with their team succeeding, so I'm not sure what the tweet that keeps getting kicked around is being touted for, but if someone has math that says otherwise feel free to present it.
