Doc Brown Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Ralonzo said: Hot update from PFF on running backs Is this a parody account? They have him as the 2nd best RB in the draft on this link at least. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2020-nfl-draft-position-rankings-running-backs 2. ZACK MOSS, UTAH Draft Board Rank: 77th Moss may not have the same elite measurables as some of the other backs in this class, but he has a trump card we’ve seen translate again and again to the NFL — the dude breaks tackles. Whether it’s as a runner or as a receiver, Moss is a safe bet to be on his feet after first contact. In fact, Moss broke at least four tackles in each of the games in which he carried the ball at least 10 times, even though he played through injury for a portion of the year. He had the third-highest single-season broken tackle per attempt average of any running back we’ve charted in our six years of doing college football, and as a receiver, he caught 66 career passes and forced 33 broken tackles after the catch. Those are insane figures that are a safe bet to continue in the NFL. At 5-foot-10 and 222 pounds, Moss has every-down running back potential.

ScorpionZero Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Im ok with it, so far not overly impressed adding impact players. Maybe day 3 will somehow add points to our offense like Beane said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior eligible. Explosive power runner with a squatty body who has been limited by an ACL surgery on each knee. Has bulky speed. Good vision. Surprising speed and burst after two operations. Strong lower body. Run with his pads over his toes and low to the ground. Can’t arm tackle him. Runs through tackles. Lacks long finish speed but finishes his runs. Bender-weaver type runner downfield. Will line up in slot at times. Better than average hands to pluck the ball. Can improve routes. Has run skills and production as a runner. Natural instincts and feel for running the ball. Vision and ability to create on poorly blocked plays. Explosive start. Moves the pile in short yardage. Efficient in short yardage situations. Good balance. Gets yards on contact with his leg strength. Late second day pick because of knee concerns and lack of speed.

I wanted a home run hitter to backup up Singletary. Devin already gets the tough yards. What does Moss add? Im sure he will be productive. Just not at all the profile I was hoping for I thought we needed a burner too but still.... he is value at the spot and anything is better than TJ freaking Yeldon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want their legs and upper body to be bigger not their height. Also, and it’s a legit thing I think......harder to FIND! They can see the holes, but you can’t see them. .

Kelly the Dog Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I was someone that would have liked Dobbins in R2, but if you wanted an edge rusher and a RB, which were our two biggest needs, IMO, then AJ and Moss are likely a better duo than Dobbins and any remaining edge guy, and preferable. Of course, we didn't know for sure he would be there, but overall, it's a solid one-two selection for picking fairly late in the second and third. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Hooks Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I think you guys misread the look on their faces. They’re probably tired and crabby. This isn’t a typical draft where you’re partying with friends and family. He’s locked in a room with what looks like his mom, sister, aunt, and girlfriend watching what seems to be the most boring draft ever (entertainment wise/no trades), and being picked late in the third round. Probably just over it tbh. Happy to have him, can’t wait. Edited April 25, 2020 by Bobby Hooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get faster if he works at it. He's got lousy knee lift and lousy ankle dorsiflexion. In other words he runs a little stiff. They can work on that.
