RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) 3rd round pick? 5' 10' 222 4.63 40 Player Bio Montgomery was a dual-threat quarterback in high school, even earning Division III Ohio Player of the Year recognition from the Associated Press after his senior season (2,707 yards, 41 TD rushing). Schools outside the Midwest did not come calling, however, so Iowa State nabbed the three-star recruit. He led the Cyclones in rushing as a true freshman, playing in all 12 games with starts in the final four weeks (109-563-5.2, two TDs rushing; 13-129-9.9 receiving). Montgomery had more of a workload in 2017, starting all 13 games and earning first-team All-Big 12 notice with 258 carries for 1,146 yards (4.4 average) and 11 scores. He also helped carry the passing offense with 36 receptions for 296 yards (8.2 average). Montgomery was a second-team all-conference pick by the coaches his junior season, accumulating 257 carries for 1,216 yards (4.7 average) and 13 touchdowns (also 22-157-7.1 receiving) in 12 games (11 starts). Overview One of the safest runners in this draft with a desirable combination of size, vision, toughness and creativity. He runs with impressive calm and instincts in the midst of interior mayhem, weaving and battering his way through traffic. Smart teams will recognize his ability to create yardage for himself with his eyes, footwork, contact balance and power. Should alleviate concerns about his lack of explosiveness. Montgomery has a pro-ready game and Day 2 (Rounds 2-3) value as a good NFL starter. Sources Tell Us "That's my guy! If he gets with the right team, he's going to be the best running back to come out of this class and you won't have to draft him early either." -- Scouting director with AFC team NFL Comparison - Kareem Hunt and let him learn the game behind McCoy and Gore....

Pete Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 RB is in play too IMO. It would be a great time to groom a RB, a partner in crime with Josh the next 5 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) With the age of the running backs I think a 3rd or 4th must be running back. By years end could easily become the bell cow. There are 10 guys who could be there and I think you take whatever flavor you want. There are guys in all shapes and sizes in the draft this year.

SCBills Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) The safest bet ever is going to be us taking a RB in the middle rounds. Start out with McCoy and Gore, then work a guy like this in as the season progresses. Edited March 14, 2019 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-troop Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 His avg is attrocious, OU RB Rodney Anderson or MEM RB Darrell Henderson please! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Would love me some Montgomery! Also really like Justice Hill but he doesn't fit the profile of an every down back. But man he was a homerun threat everytime he had the ball at OSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I don’t know who, but I’ll be shocked if we DON”T add some young legs. It’s going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Anderson but the guy just can't stay healthy. A guy I really like and may get as an UDFA is Darrin Hall out of Pitt. Had some huge games when Ollison was injured. I like Montgomery and Gaskin as well. Edited March 14, 2019 by DallasMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm watching his film, reminds me of a blend of L Bell (Patience) and Curtis Martin (Productive every carry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Dexter Williams in the 3rd or 4th Dex is one of the fastest people in pads in the nation. Edited March 14, 2019 by H2o 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-troop Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 whats the boards' general consensus of what round we should be adding our future RB in? I'm thinking no sooner than the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasMac Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Trayveon Williams is another back that I think will be very good. 2 minutes ago, c-troop said: whats the boards' general consensus of what round we should be adding our future RB in?

c-troop Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 i'm all for picking up a back in the draft, but i wonder what it would cost to pry Gus Edwards away from Baltimore? they just picked up Mark Ingram and they have Alex Collins already also... This guy is an absolute monster at 6-1' 238 lbs. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/EdwaGu00.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spielman Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Miles Sanders is my sleeper pick. Had a great combine 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is an absolute monster at 6-1' 238 lbs. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/EdwaGu00.htm I doubt Baltimore moves him. Edwards is young and had a solid season last year. Ingram is pushing 30 and is likely just there to split carries. Baltimore is going to run the ball 40 times a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
