Official 2017 2nd Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

[Carolina_Packer]

Question for everyone. If I said you could have one of these backs, which one would you take?

Samaje Perine, OK

A bowling ball that will wear out a defense and even has a little shake. No fun to tackle.

Marlon Mack, USF

A little Reggie Bush/Shady McCoy in him?

I know they are different styles, but who would you take and why?

[Joemailman]

I think this team needs more speed on offense, so I'd go with Mack. I see Perrine as Eddie Lacy without the quick feet. Decent big back, but not special.

[Smidgeon]

I want whomever has the better vision. Lacy was the first RB in a while who could read rushing lanes really well. I want more of that and less of running into their own guys.

[Carolina_Packer]

Mack just looks like he explodes to the second level, and has shake/juke when a defender is trying to get in a position to tackle him which creates separation and then he shows his explosiveness. Also, if he can catch the ball out of the back field, he would be dangerous in the open field.

[VegasPackFan]

I want Perine. We need a good power guy like him. He's really strong and has good burst. If the ankle is in good shape, I think he'll be even more explosive than his last college year tape shows. Good pairing with Ty.

Also: Perine reminds me of Michael Turner. YESSSS

That's a pretty good comp. I'm not usually high on RBs that don't run a good 40 -- unless they have special traits elsewhere (e.g. Lacy with his power but quick feet), but this guy is relatively impressive. He has a lot of mileage on him though, doesn't he?

[BZnDallas]

Perine looks like he has football speed. He's no burner, but he looks to have enough speed to make a go in the league. And he doesn't look like a cheeseburger is gonna put him over the top either. I think he could be a better Eddie Lacy. He could be the thunder to Montys lightning. (Have we had a thunder/lightning reference recently?)

[BZnDallas]

Perine with early 4th and Beigel with the later 4th?

[Pugger]

he didn't say how much o, just that there would be some.

How much help do we need on O besides a RB and perhaps a guard?

[smuggler]

WR in round 6 or 7 is possible. Jake Butt is still on the board as well.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I like him. Would be nice to get him for the future. When to pick him is the question.

[Bretsky]

Jake Butt would be great pick as well. IMO much better than the Plodder
