Brandon Beane at Clemson pro day


Recommended Posts

Etienne ran 4.40 back to back.

 

I thought Cornell Powell was Bobby Lashley.  Then he ran a 4.47.  Impressive.  I’m not a big fan of his tape though.  He flashed some with Dj Uiegalelei throwing the ball, but he didn’t like like anything other than a 6-7th rd pick

If they make the wrong decision and take a running back early I hope they at least don't put the process on "Bills embedded" like when Beane hungrily jumped up for Cody Ford.    Passing on DK and AJ (oh and Elgton Jenkins @Logic) was bad enough.    This isn't 1988.......taking a RB early is a BAD play.

I might agree with this in most instances but this team is super bowl caliber. An elusive speed back is one of our needs and starting next season, Allen is gonna be taking up a ton of our cap space. Singletary and Moss were both 3rd round picks and while I'm not necessarily done with either one and am holding out hope that at least one of them can be our lead guy, neither one really showed anything special last year. If we can get Etienne at 30, I would gladly take it. A dynamic rookie RB on a rookie contract once Allen starts taking up a ton of cap space, I'll gladly do it

That vert is bad for Etienne and Rodgers.........Allen's placement on passes to RB's is not one of his better attributes........and Singletary(35" vert) has a bigger catch radius than Etienne.

I have one question.

 

31 teams? Who the ***** didn't go to the Clemson pro day?!!

 

The Saints they will probably have to pull out of the draft because they won't have any cap space or maybe the season if they can't get under the cap !!

They won't be SB caliber for long if they draft for need and ignore positional value.

 

I was thrilled when the Chiefs took CEH in round 1 last year........RB availability does not move the Vegas line for a reason.

 

 As fun as it is to see a RB who can break a few long ones and average over 5 yards per carry..........your average pass attempt should be 7-8 yards if you have a good QB.

 

Handing the ball off is not your best play as much as it is just a necessity to do a certain % of the time.........and that fraction of a yard difference between an average one and an outstanding one just isn't that impactful over the course of a season.

Have to believe they are seriously considering Etienne.  Taking a RB in rounds 1-3 three years in a row has to be unprecedented - and they'd better have a running game for the ages to show for it if they go that route.

I watched every Clemson game this year and Etienne looked like he'd already lost something.      He went from 7.8 ypc down to 5.4 ypc and seemed to just not be able to blow by that first tackler like he had early in his career.   I wasn't impressed.

You are aware the Chiefs played in the Super Bowl AFTER selecting a RB in the first round last year right?

I feel like his interior blocking was a significant factor in that but I definitely know where you're coming from.

 

I went into draft season with Etienne in mind as RB1 but there was less snap-to-snap consistency last season. Not having Lawrence in for a couple of games and teams selling out on stopping the run didn't help but any kind of regression gives me pause for thought.

Watch yourself there mister! I’m still tinkering with how to build a real bully...

'Build a bully' my keister.  More likely 'build a bully beef sammich' for my calorically overindulgent brother.  Check his coat pockets for snacks taken from the hospitality table. 🤨

I have no idea what kind of pro Etienne will be.  I'd be hesitant to take him at 30 - That said, I do think his upside is Kamara with better acceleration...

We also need to talk about America universally adopting "built like a brick shithouse" as a unit of measurement.

Usually, we just say "house"

 

Seems insulting to add the "*****"

 

Like "He's built like a brick house....but the kind that's full of *****"

  well Singletary is 5 7".   and Etienne is 5 10".  so that would be incorrect.
