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....

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.

dabills21 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Sounds cliche. but if you've watched a few of his games, he reminds me a lot of Fred Jackson. Patient runner, good hands, solid blocking, and breaks alot of tackles. he won't win many do it races or break many home run plays, but just really solid all around a player. One of my favorite RBs in this clasd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got his life together and put everything on full display. He only ran a 4.57 at the combine, but the game tape shows he is surely faster than that.

RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) a bit of perspective on D Williams (ranked 17 among RB) Dexter Williams, RB, Notre Dame Height: 5-11. Weight: 215. Arm: 32.63. Hand: 9.5. Projected 40 Time: 4.57. Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 3/7/19: Williams did not get to shoulder the load for the Fighting Irish until his senior year, but he made the most of it by averaging 6.3 yards per carry for 995 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had 16 receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown as well. As a backup during his junior year, Williams averaged 9.2 yards per carry on only 39 attempts for 360 yards and four scores. Williams had a respectable week of practice at the Senior Bowl and had a similar showing at the combine. And now points for D Montgomery (8th on Walter Football) David Montgomery*, RB, Iowa State Height: 5-11. Weight: 219. Projected 40 Time: 4.62. Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 3/7/19: There are some evaluators who like Montgomery. His draft stock was dealt a draft blow at the combine, where his 40 time gave credence to speed concerns. Montgomery averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2018 for 1,216 yards with 13 touchdowns. He had 22 receptions for 157 yards as well. 8/28/18: Montgomery is a nice college back who runs hard and fights through contact to pick up extra yards. He may not have the speed to be an impact-making starter in the NFL, but he could be a solid rotational option. Montgomery is impressive in the passing game with his soft hands and understanding of how to get open. In the open field, he is tough for defensive backs to get on the ground. Montgomery averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2017 for 1,094 yards with 11 touchdowns. He also caught 35 passes for 288 yards. either would be a good set of young legs in round 3-5 IMO Edited March 14, 2019 by RocCityRoller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityRoller Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I see McCoy having 'an in as starter' Gore vs Ivory for backup in preseason, neither is a major cap hit, but offer vet upside. Then add a 3-5 round pick. Buffalo selecting a RB 3-5 is warranted. What Round 3-5 RB excites you? We have D Montgomery and D Williams as potential fits.
