Astrobot Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19D8I9D3txSJjZRNyCEAeNTG2_gaTghTXMt4rOkViTvs/edit?usp=sharing I focus on RB every year because I know the traits that seem to translate to the NFL. Some players I've liked in recent years included Jeremy Hill, Karlos Williams, Carlos Hyde, Jonathan Williams, and Terrance West. I was thrilled when Karlos and Jonathan were picked by the Bills. One stat that seems to be highly predictive is yards per carry against AP-ranked teams. One stat that isn't predictive so much is YPC, which is a function of the OL blocking, quality of the opponents' defenses, etc. I move players up and down as I watch game videos, not when some draft site says so-and-so is awesome. This avoids players being "famous for being famous". Edited November 5, 2016 by Astrobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Is Curtis Samuel so low because he's technically an Hback? He's one of the most talented offensive players in the country. His skill and explosiveness on the football field reminds me of Sammy Watkins. His production is limited only by how much OSU gives him the ball IMO. He's a Percy Harvin type but I guess falls into the RB category because they play him there sometimes.

Astrobot Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Stats updated and order changed a little. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19D8I9D3txSJjZRNyCEAeNTG2_gaTghTXMt4rOkViTvs/edit?usp=sharing Is Curtis Samuel so low because he's technically an Hback?

I think they're talking about making him a slot receiver at the next level. Let me confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Luke Easterling has him 53rd in the draft as a RB/WR. Either way, I'd call him a playmaker. I'm putting him on the WR list here as RD2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DK-zMWDxtdrpCG_0Sq95dePR-4AOZ-VmwX9Amj26EWg/edit?usp=sharing His comp is Percy Harvin.
