I agree (see the possible sleeper part lol) but I'm just not completely 100% sold. If he were drafted by my team, in no way shape or form would I be upset (well maybe on my team because we have shit tons of RBs already lol) but if I was a fan of another team that is.

You're underrating Andre Williams I think. He's a complete back, and had the 2k yards to prove it this recent year. I remember him destroying MD, even though he left the game /w an injured shoulder.

I think Seastrunk will end up being a product of Baylor's system. He's going to flop in the NFL.

Idk what to say about Terrance West. He destroyed the FCS for 2.5k yards and 41 TDs, but who knows how he'll do in the pros. Dominating the lower level of competition is what you want from a small-school prospect, so hopefully he pans out. Opposing teams knew we were going to run it basically every play, so putting up these numbers despite that is pretty impressive. Too bad Balt. doesn't need a RB :P

I feel like I'm underestimating Williams too actually. I only was able to really look into a small sampling of his overall. I'll have a better feel after the combine/pro days.

As for Seastrunk, I'm indifferent. I understand why so many are so high on him but I agree with him probably flopping in the NFL.

West I fell in love with. Competition may not have been great but the guy made some defenses just look absolutely silly at times. Even in college against the shittiest of teams, those numbers are hard to argue and the moves he made and the way he runs the ball weren't simply because of poor talent on the defense.

Maybe West will separate himself from the other RBs at the combine. He seems strong, quick, and has good vision/decision making skills, but he might not be 4.5 40-time fast. We'll see.

I think he will be the first Towson player since Jermon Bushrod to be drafted lol.

Where do you see Deanthony get taken?

We don't really need him, we have great depth at RBs but we desperately need a viable KR. Can he play in the slot at all?

Honestly, I don't know when it comes to running backs. It's tough to predict where they'll go but he'd be good for you guys. If you lose Maclin you'll need another option and he can be it.

I like him as a slot receiver way more than a running back though.

I wouldn't mind him. Just don't want to reach for him when we necessary don't have a need for him. I'll think we will sign Maclin to like a one year deal and cut Avant so slot spot is open.

Maseo JR. isn't small, he's short. As long as he weighs in at 205+ and can run a sub 4.6, he'll be fine.
