Sneaky feeling we take a RB today.

[CPHawk]

Pete can't help himself when it comes to certain positions, cornerback and running back, for example. Charbonet would be perfect.

I like him, but ucla ran him a TON. Chip RB tend to not have a lot of tread left on the tires when they hit the NFL.

True, but he'd have lighter duty in the NFL given he'd be our version of LenDale White in the White / Johnson tandem the Titans used to wield.

Interestingly, White was 6ft 235 and ran around a 4.5 40.

Charbonet is 6ft 222 and runs around a 4.5 40

Chris Johnson was 5'11, 203lbs and ran a blazing 4.24 40

Walker 3 - 5'-10, 211 lbs and ran a 40 just over 4.3

Not a bad comp to replicate, and we know Pete loved him some LenDale white... until he got lazy and thought he could get over on his relationship with his HC.

 

[CactusJack]

I'm good with Charbonnet or Roschon

 

[CalgaryFan05]

Chase Brown is not good. He doesn’t even try to block. Dewayne McBride is another name to watch.

hate to say it - but K9 had a blocking allergy for a while there last season -

Geno called him out during a game after getting pancaked - so, ya, blocking is, like - you know, important and stuff

Hawks don't need another speed back like Walker right now. We need more of a Chris Carson power back type. (IMO Carson ran "bigger" than his physical size) Natrone Means? Brandon Jacobs? A back who can physically wear down defenders in between K9's carries, soften them up for the 4th quarter. Thunder to go with K9's lightning. Charbonnet, Roschon, seem like potential fits in this class. I'd be OK with another speed back late round flyer. But POWER first. Time for an upgrade over DJ Dallas if we can find one.

I'm with you on this one. Walker is your finesse guy but I don't think he's your 3rd down back. Need a guy who's got some chug in his legs.

 

[Shane Falco]

We need running back depth and specifically a bruiser but I'm hopeful we can get one after day two and use rounds 2-3 to address the trenches. Hopefully it falls that way while continuing to not reach, been working for us.

 

[chris98251]

Earl Campbell, Jerome Bettis, Cullen Bryant type.

 

[Ruminator]

Shoot, this discussion is making me miss that guy, Carson. Sentimental moment, don't mind me.

I am hoping that he won't picka RB today, we have too many needs in the trenches

 

[JayhawkMike]

Sorry No. We will draft another DB or another WR.

 

[pmedic920]

You called it.

I’m not mad to have this kid in the stable.

 

[toffee]

Wow, you call it!! Pete drafted a RB in second round.

 

[Rainger]

Just did

 

[Scout]

The offense is stacked now.

 

[BleuEyedHawk]

You were right! I like this guy too.

 

[HawkinNY]

Now can we draft some Oline help. ESP center.

 

[Mick063]

I am just over the top thrilled with this draft. They knocking it out of the park.

Thanks Russ. No hard feelings.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Had a feeling it would be Charbonet. They worked him out and hes the kind of runner pete loves.

 

[chris98251]

This is brute force plus he can catch. No Alexander tipping your hand with our backs now.
