Round 2

[red]

can't help but think we could have and should have traded down, taken jack, smith or ragland. then used the pick we got to move back up in the second to get one of the alabama DT's

Titans take RB Henry

[pbmax]

Why on Mike Stock's green earth do you want an injured player even in Round 2?

[red]

i don't know why we would

but just in case, one of our 3- 4th round picks would move us up to around pick #55

so if we do make a move, the window is coming soon

BACKGROUND: A four-star running back recruit out of high school, Henry considered offers from Florida, Florida State, Georgia and others before committing to Alabama, enrolling early in Tuscaloosa – set the national high school career rushing mark with 11,232 yards. He played in 12 games as a true freshman in 2013, recording 382 rushing yards as one of the back-ups behind T.J. Yeldon. Despite only two starts, Henry’s role grew in 2014 as he shared the workload with Yeldon, finishing with a team-high 990 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. He had his best season as a junior, setting a new SEC record with 2,219 rushing yards (led nation), which won him numerous awards, including the Heisman Trophy, Doak Walker Award and Maxwell Award. Henry also earned All-American and First Team All-SEC status in 2015, leading the FBS in rushing touchdowns (28). He decided to leave school early for the 2016 NFL Draft.

STRENGTHS: Built like a linebacker with firm muscle tone and physical demeanor…runs with purpose, natural strength and the body type that will run over defenders without slowing down – not an easy ballcarrier to finish off and always falling forward…long stiff-arm to keep defenders from his body…balanced and continues to pump his legs after initial contact – powerful body control…strong strides and able to stretch his legs and hit another gear at the second level…vision and run anticipation to follow blocks and consistently make smart decisions…attacks the line of scrimmage with conviction and doesn’t need gaping run lanes, making himself skinny to clear holes…adequate route runner and pass-catcher…improved in pass protection, squaring and anchoring to deliver blows and protect the pocket…reliable ball security (only five career fumbles)…proven workhorse and wears down the defense – averaged 31.7 carries per game vs. SEC competition in 2015…has experience on special teams coverages…humble, goal-oriented player who buys into coaching and expects the most out of himself…record-setting junior season and leaves Alabama No. 1 on the school’s all-time rushing yards list (3,591), passing Shaun Alexander in the 2015 National Title Game.

WEAKNESSES: Taller than ideal for the position with long legs and high pad level – presents a big target for defenders to target…choppy footwork when forced to redirect, lacking ideal elusiveness or dynamic athleticism to create on his own with moves…sluggish and overly patient to the hole at times, running into his own blockers and taking too long picking his lane – needs a runway to get started…struggles to generate push when he doesn’t lower his pads…needs to eliminate the drops and improve his focus at the catch point…benefited from a strong offensive line…took a lot of hits his final season in college, which might create lingering durability issues – suffered a fractured fibula that required surgery (April 2013) during spring practice as a true freshman.

SUMMARY: A one-year starter, Henry shared carries with Yeldon in 2014 before becoming the bell-cow featured runner for the Crimson Tide in 2015, setting a new SEC rushing record and winning the Heisman Trophy – well-versed in a pro-style scheme. Since 2011, Alabama has had four running backs drafted in the first two rounds (with mixed results) and Henry should be the fifth. He is a powerful, yet graceful north-south athlete who can fit through tight spaces, using patience and instincts to gash defenses – runaway train who is tough to slow down once he gets going and his final carry is as strong as (or stronger than) his first carry, getting better as the game progresses. Henry attacks downhill and pumps his legs with light feet, but his long legs and taller torso/pads aren’t ideal for the position – not shifty and doesn’t always properly use his power. Henry will struggle to be as dominant in the NFL as he was at Alabama, but he has the athletic skill-set to be a tough, reliable grinder and a blended version of LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Jacobs – top-60 prospect who should

Draft a RB n Round 2 after signing Murray. ???

Why on Mike Stock's green earth do you want an injured player even in Round 2?

because an injured ILB in the second is better then any that we have or have had on the roster for quite a few years now at ILB
