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...

Wait... Yeah, wait... http://blogs.ourlads.com/2013/01/11/draft-rewind-2005-frank-gore-san-francisco-49ers/ Draft Rewind 2005 – Frank Gore – San Francisco 49ers Posted on January 11, 2013 by Dan Shonka What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about FRANK GORE: Miami, 5093 217 4.66. 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...
BeastMaster Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 This kid loves punishing the defense and watching them give up late in games. That is a beautiful thing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the timing is all out of whack with the reactions. I'm not worried at all. At the start I think they cut in too early, now they’ve been cutting too late. Been a bit messy. Overall considering they’ve done a good job. Been a little morbid at times but at least the technical issues haven’t been bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
