When Antonio Andrews just isn't bad enough...It's the lazy comparison because of their height. George picked his way through the traffic. Henry runs straight forward and hopes for the best.
Zero lateral quickness and he can't make a move in the hole. 100 carries this year went for 1 yard or less.
How was RB not a priority? We had by far the worst group of RBs in the league last year. Like nobody was even close. Murray is 27? years old. Was a good value pick.
I'm just gonna laugh when I read the responses on here when we get torched by our division rivals through the air this year.
Our secondary gave up 34 passing TDs last year, that's third worst in that category. To throw salt on the wound, 5 of those TDs were from the Jags in one game. ONE GAME....against the JAGS. You should be upset.
In comparison we ranked 25th in rushing yards last year. Ok that's a problem, which we addressed already in free agency when we traded for the best available, proven RB Demarco Murray.
ESPN Sport Science said his closest comparison was Eddie George as well.It's the lazy comparison because of their height. George picked his way through the traffic. Henry runs straight forward and hopes for the best.

I like Henry, the player, so I dont hate this pick but I am not in love with picking an HB in the second round when we still have a sucking chest wound at outside CB.
LeBeau must see something in Blake that makes him think he can step up and be the guy outside.
Erotic smash mouth
What do you find so erotic about him?
Not saying that I disagree with the point you're trying to make. I'm also not saying I agree with it but I just want to point out...Every other rb left on board. Reason to believe many could be better than Henry. Many clearly better than Sankey. Sorry I not a sheep but thems the facts kids

Words like "believe", "many", and "could" and the complete opposite of the words needed to preface "facts".
What you have here is... thems the options kids.
Many is not an opinion word. I'm not sure if anyone outside of Ezekiel Elliott will be better than Henry. But I GUARANTEE there are rbs after Henry better than Sankey. There are at least two posters in this thread that disagree with that. And silly me but I don't think stating rbs are better than Sankey is some huge stretch.
I understand the Heisman means nothing in the NFL but you didn't point out other failures, you pointed out Manziel, and I pointed or that he didn't fail due to lack of ability. He failed because he is am idiot. Henry has given no indication of that.Heisman means nothing. There are other examples of failures too. He's just the first who came to mind
WTF does sankey have to do with this except he will be gone?Many is not an opinion word. I'm not sure if anyone outside of Ezekiel Elliott will be better than Henry.

Please go look again. I'm not gonna argue with ya but take a quick peek at the number of 10 plus, 20 plus and 40 plus yard runs. You will also find him hit a hole which was filled and he bounces outside quite well. The ONLY legitimate argument that can be made against him is the initial speed. His top speed and power is pretty damn good.
Ron Dayne... He was doo doo in the pros. Big back who won the Heisman.Heisman means nothing. There are other examples of failures too. He's just the first who came to mind
So just a recap of our draft. We traded out of #1, only to trade back up and give away picks for free to take a tackle that wasn't even ranked #1 at his position. Then we ignore our most glaring weakness, in a draft supposedly strong at that position to beef up our dline which we just invested a ton of $$$ into already. Then we draft a rb despite taking Sankey as the first rb of the board a couple years ago, signing mccluster to a big contract, letting Andrew's start for a year, and traded for Demarco Murray and his inflated contract.....then we took someone else that I couldn't care less about because this team is a train wreck. The real kicker is that it's a ****ing Alabama running back.....
