RB at 29 would be hard pill to swallow
What is the relevance of the Saban era?Taylor in my opinion should have been a top 20 pick. He is the same size as Ezekiel Elliott, had a little better 40 time, vertical and broad jump.
You can talk all you want about his o-line but no Alabama RB in the Nick Saban era had that high a yards per carry including the 2 Heisman winners.
We can tag Henry again if needed. And all the guys coming up for new deals play relatively cheap positions. ILBs, TE, 34 end dont cost a fortune.So who is going to be our feature back for 2021? Henry is not under contract.
Next year we will have to sign or replace Jonnu smith, Corey Davis, Daquan Jones, Jayon Brown. We have Vic Beasley for just one year and are trying to sign Clowney long term. You going to give a 27 year old RB a 4 year $60M contract?
Yea comp matters which is why Davis vs the few good programs his small school did see went in his favor. And he has every measurable for a WR.Jonathan Taylor

Any woulda been better than Darrynton Evans. Not a fan of these guys from BS schools. We still haven't learned from Corey Davis, competition matters.

I liked Dallas too for us at that point. Think hed have worked out but was less polished than Evans so it worksA lot of people are looking at Evans as a guy to take Henry's role and it is pretty clear that he was taken to replace Lewis and ultimately be what they hoped Lewis would be here. And I think he was by far the best option for that role.

Kelly looked like a steady runner. I didnt see anything in him that wowed me tho.I never looked at him.
I basically looked at the top 6 or so guys in case they dropped.
...and I looked at Evans and Josh Kelley from UCLA because they felt what I perceived the team would be looking at out of a RB, both in skillset and draft value.
Yes he had a ton of touches in his 3 years as wisco, and did fumble once every 54 touches. He was also extremely efficient with those touches, AVERAGING 2200yds and 18tds for 3 years. Many knock him for his lack of receptions too but that's just not how wisco rolls. Believe it or not, he is the most targeted college RB per route run of relevant NFL backs in the past 5 years.I would understand the take of getting Taylor in the first if we didn’t get a solid Henry backup. We did. So in turn, we beefed up our line (super important since we only had Kelly and it all starts in the trenches) and still got a way better RB in Lewis. The reality is, we ARE signing Henry to a long term deal. I know some don’t want that, but I’m not so sure how much clearer the team could be about that. I think Taylor will likely be good, but who knows. 31 other teams passed on him until the second, likely because of his fumbleitus. He also has high mileage on his wheels (exactly what people complained about with Henry if I recall).

But that math always added up with him, which is what you need to stay ahead of the chains.
Hed have been an ok pick too
