2025 NFL Free Agency and Draft: RB

Pass blocking grades seem dubious.

When someone asks me who could be this year’s…Bucky Irving

Talented RB that falls to Rd 4

Tackle Breaking metric darling

Also a pass game weapon

My answer is… R.J. Harveypic.twitter.com/k4FNxF5CUu

This is my guy, round 4 sounds fine.

Love Harvey. Mocked him many times. Very skilled with his footwork and ability to find and hit the hole. He will make a difference to an NFL franchise. If we don't take Judkins/Henderson that is a player I would target after that. I like Giddens as well. Not much talk about him.

4.65 for Cam Skattebo.

Right around what was expected. https://t.co/lP8A7l4a0U

I knew he wasn’t fast but I thought he’d be quicker than this . Need to see the 10 yard split.

He is almost in the category of Taysom Hill. Outside of the passing. Scattebo better work on his route running to find a spot lol

Leroy Hoard 4.64 at 225 lbs  :cool: :angel:

He’d be a nice change of pace, 4 minute guy. Very good receiver too. But, not a lead kinda guy.

Overview
Carnage creator with a compact frame and elite contact balance. Skattebo can break through second-level tacklers and careen off of bodies for extended yards after contact. He reads his blocks quickly and is more elusive in the early stages of the run than he’s probably given credit for. He lacks top-end speed and will have to contend with bigger, better tacklers on the next level. Skattebo’s effectiveness as a receiver out of the backfield should add to his draft value. His physicality and edge should bode well for him as a complementary back with three-down value who is capable of helping an offense wear down the defense.

The Kansas City Chiefs will host Miami RB Damien Martinez for a 30 visit, source said.

One of the premier ball-carriers in the class rushed for 3,173 yds in three seasons at Oregon State/Miami & was the first Hurricane RB to eclipse 1,000 yards in a season since 2016 this fall.

Is Hampton the consensus #2 back?

Seeing more mocks trending this way...

I don't think consensus. Maurice Jones Drew had him ranked like 5th or something like that in his latest rankings and I still see some that have Treveon Henderson rated as the #2 back. I really like Hampton and would be thrilled to draft him or either of the OSU backs. I unfortunately still contend that the Mason acquisition likely eliminates running back from early round consideration. Much more likely they take a mid round back.

If you look at it from a statistical average, yes. From mocks I’ve seen as well, yes. 

Consensus Big Board

One Rookie RB I’m hearing nothing about is Devin Neal.. Why?

🔹 Productive at young age: Averaged 1,430 yards last THREE SEASONS (still only 21) 🔥
🔹 Pass-Catcher: 77 Receptions in College 🙌
🔹 Workhorse potential 📈
🔹 Elusive + Ball security 🔒

Patience of LeVeon Bell. Nifty feet. Warning track power if you know what I mean.

Neal is a sneaky one in this draft. Have liked him for a while. Talked with MB a while back on him on a thread. He is a very complete back that really is getting no attention. His college career is impressive, arguably the best player to come out of Kansas.

I'm moving RJ Harvey ahead of Cam Skattebo in my rookie rankings, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Funny it took him this long to put Harvey ahead of Skattebo. Hell, I have him ahead of Kaleb Johnson too. Jeanty is in a tier by himself. But if tier two is Henderson, Hampton and Judkins, Harvey is right there at the top of tier 3 in my book. There are a lot of backs in that tier, but Harvey's as good as any of them.
