Going with the idea that Tutu being a good WR just lacking opportunity and Gadsden II really only being a TE in name alone like he was in college.

Yeah, I'm not so convinced of that on Tutu. He's not a bad player. But going into the year with him and two rookie TEs (even a hybrid sort of guy like Gadsen) is a big risk.

Good find! He is also graded as an above average blocker

Declared for the draft in early December.
Brother with mental health issues killed by police later that month.
Just signed huge NIL deal to stay at Arkansas.

We'd better come out of this draft with a TE and another RB. Kind of hoping our first pick is a TE.

as for RB.... I'm thinking the fastest of these guys. I want a big fast thoroughbred in the backfield.

Definitely like the sizes of those guys.

I have a draft crush on Cam Skatteboo of ASU as well. Not the fastest guy but incredible balance and breaks a shitload of tackles.

My guy is 5'11' 209 lbs and might be faster than all of them. I think Tuten is worth a long look.

you know what... I watched 1/2 the video yesterday, but just now watched the rest...
if this kid is still around in the 4th? 5th?? absolutely & he'd be a steal.
I have YET to see a highlight vid like this kid has. Even Jeanty, I see vids of him getting caught from behind. But not this kid... he breaks free & no one is catching him. plus he can grind out some tough yards when needed.
I still like a big back that would be hard to stop, someone with some pop to KW's wiggle. But, if Snead prioritizes right & can get this kid later, we can then be free to trade back into the 2nd, grab a stud move TE, a cover CB, and then this kid & we'd be set.

I like Hampton a lot. Consider RBs that produced without great offensive lines. If you get a guy like Corum who had huge lanes to run through, does that really prove their ability to find tight windows to run through like Kyren can do?

Even with a good offensive line, holes aren’t wide open for very long in the NFL.

I am sure Stafford is as well. The way he uses his eyes to open lanes for guys across the middle, sometimes he's off on his throws so the large catch radius types are magnified with him. Get this dude a big target for those catches in traffic and watch those chains move.

If they're genuinely trying to extend Kyren, as they claim, I don't see us going HB on Day 2. Kalel Mullings is a big HB who should be available on Day 3, if we want a power guy. Personally, I'd rather have an explosive HB who is a major threat in the passing game. I'll need to take a look at @OldSchool's guy.

Honestly his running style reminds me a lot of KW he doesn't go down at first contact almost ever which is rare for a guy with this kind of speed. There's a lot of hard running and there's also a lot of runs from say 25 yards out where KW or Corum get 10-15 and we have a 1st and goal but Tuten gets in the end zone. Yes competition yes college but he's got the speed seems to have the contact balance and I really like this kid.

Most of his passing game seems to be screens and he does them well though this play here in the above clip is a nice catch behind him on the back shoulder, he's not lined up outside though. I've also seen a couple plays where they line him up wide and do an end around with him. I think in 2 years only had 50 receptions.

Last year at this time, they were talking about extending Jones. That didn't materialize. I suspect their giving lip service now to extending Kyren like they were last year on Jones.

As for RBs, I'm gonna keep advocating for Dylan Sampson.

Man, I'd kill for a 2nd round pick in this draft. Take Golden at 26 and whichever TE falls to us in the 2nd and we are rolling into next season.

This is the question of the draft. I imagine the idea of getting a second is drilling a hole in Mc Sneads head.
