Tipster19 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 What a tandem these 2 would make. To me they have similar qualities. Some are predicting that Perine could go as late as the 4th or 5th rd. I don’t know where he is going to be drafted at but I wouldn’t be against using our 3rd rder on him. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Thanks for posting. Looks good as receiver on check downs too! Decent size and power. Should last to 5th round. Here is excerpt from The Draft Network's Joe Marino and link https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/lamical-perine/CSXbLdLoSB Versatility - Ideally an inside runner that also provides value on third downs with his ability to catch the football. Play demeanor and competitive toughness should translate to special teams.

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Walter football has him as a 3-4 round pick with a bit of upside and good receiving capability. IF we don't get one of the top 3 and th wite #4, #5 have some problems or if a real stud at another position falls to around #54, I have no problem with him in the 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChattanoogaBills Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I would snag him in the 4th in a heartbeat. I like him way better than Swift, Dobbins, or Taylor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I mentioned it in another thread that I saw his entire career with the Gators. Tends to get caught up a lot on short yardage plays. Not terrible-as in old Frank Gore, but not that kind of back. He’d be a great ‘Kenny Davis’ compliment to Devins’ Thurman! Hope he’s available when we pick in the 3rd -if not Round 2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 We need a downhill guy who’s gonna add a physical presence to the offense. If Taylor isn’t available at pick 54, you can get somebody that adds that without the big play ability in the 4th or 5th round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking that the preponderance of quality RBs (and WRS too) in this years draft means we could land a good player at either position with the 8th pick in Rd 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this and I am excited to see which rb we draft if we end up getting little to no drop off while Singletary is on the sidelines it could make this offense so much better. I am not at all sure where Lamar Miller is with his recovery from a torn acl and I would guess since teams can't visit with players at this point that is the reason he hasn't been signed. Miller is 28 and has racked up some touches but was a 4.4 rb coming out of college and is good in all three phases of the game running, receiving, and pass blocking. I would anticipate someone is getting him cheap he made 6.5 a year on his previous contract, he should be had for 2-4 on a one year prove it deal for somebody. If he was signed and not right, he could probably be cut if he isn't right and we could still draft an rb regardless, after all it is a one year deal. I know McDermott likes his vet in with each position group just wondering if he could be that guy even with this all the what ifs?

OldTimer1960 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I wasn’t nearly as impressed with Perine as some in this thread are. I think he is a consolation prize that you might take in the 4th or 5th round if you don’t take a back earlier. At least based on the games that I watched and also based on what I’ve read,I can’t see a case to take him any higher than the 4th. Just my opinion... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorin' Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I like Perine a lot as a compliment to Motor in the 4th round. I don't see why we can also have a 3rd RB that is a smash mouth downhill short distance power house too.

There are some really good prospects in Swift, Taylor, Dobbins, Edward-Helaire and I think that Akers and Moss aren’t too far behind them with Evans being interesting. Beyond them, I think you are into guys who aren’t very special- and I group AJ Dillon and Perine into the not special group. Of course, those are just my opinions- others may see it differently.

I've watched all three of "top" RB's and none them struck me as a first round talent. Dobbins seemed to lack the vision to be a big time back although he runs very hard. Dobbins also shows great contact balance and breaks arm tackles alot but is not a good pass protector imo. Maybe his pass pro issues can be fixed as it might be technical. I do like Dobbins as a runner the most out of the top three. Taylor does have breakaway speed but never seemed to wow me as it appeared he usually had huge lanes to run through. He also has seemingly the least wiggle of the three. I am also biased as Wisconsin always seems to produce great college backs that have very little NFL success. Swift i really only watched against south carolina (which was probably his worst game). But i saw very little from him as i was wondering why was he so highly touted. I watched Perine against sec competition and he seemingly always got the job done more often than not. Without the benefit of great blocking or good passing attack. AJ Dillon reminds me alot of Derrick Henry. Dillion faced a stacked box more than any other RB in college (75% if im correct). He creates a big mismatch in that if we go 4 wide (3wrs 1te) with Dillion at RB. How would the defense counter dime, nickel or base. If they go dime or nickel we could pound Dillon and make 180-200 pound dbs trying to tackle him. If they go base we should have lbs and safetys covering Knox, Beasley & Dillon. Dillon is my biggest hopeful at RB with Perine, Akers and Gibson following after. Edited April 5, 2020 by ChattanoogaBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good instincts, good hands. Appears to have a tendency to attempt to get outside a lot. That may not necessarily work in the NFL; ask C.J. Spiller. But, of course, Spiller had no instincts; this guy does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I've watched him down here in FL as this team and FSU are on every week. He's solid and would compliment Singletary, just wouldn't want him or anyone else before the 4th or 5th round. Our 2nd and 3rd, should be spent on an Edge Rusher and WR, in no order and happy to bundle picks to get higher to get only maybe 4 or 5 at most with these three positions as a priority of the talent comes to us. I don't care about the other 1-2 picks as I trust Beane and company. Whatever they think is the best value. I just don't want to overdraft for a complimentary back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i dont know how much college football you watch but i watch a ton while working at a sports bar. Also i gamble on football so watching said player miss a gaping hole repeatedly and losing my money tells me he's not as good as advertised. While i dont have a crystal ball. I've seen many players graded poorly gone to have great nfl careers. And other cant miss RBs bust. But im by no means a scout or draft expert. So i guess we will see. But as a betting man i would wager that we wont pick any RB until at least the 3rd round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
