We normally have some pretty knowledgeable draftnicks (sp?) on here so I figured I’d start a thread to see who you’re high on. We all know the big names but give me some guys that might be lesser known that can make an impact (not necessarily for the Saints but in general). Who’s a guy you think might be talked about 4-5 seasons from now.
I’ll start
Israel (Izzy) Abanikanda RB Pitt
Yes, I googled the spelling to make sure I got it right lol.
Good size 5’10 215lbs.
One cut runner. Always moving forward. No wasted movements in the backfield. Willing blocker and pass catcher but he’s more of a 2 down NFL back. Runs away from guys in the open field. Good production on the ground. Even out of the backfield he’s a catch and go type back. You’re not going to confuse him with any WR. Gets the yards the defense will give. Very seldom is he not moving forward or is more than a 1 cut guy. Ironically I’d say his comp is a Jamal Williams. Fast to the LOS, no wasted motion and he puts his foot in the dirt and goes. He could definitely be a good NFL back, especially in a committee type backfield.
