Meteoric rise for this kid. Now that scouts have seen him against the best talent he's gone from a likely 3rd rd pick to early 2nd and possibly even 1st rd.

N Dakota St continues to crank out quality NFL talent.

Its hard to watch this stuff and not want this guy on our team if he's there at 12.

Louis Reddick is a really smart guy (just went through GM interview cycle too) and he said Jeanty reminds him of Emmitt Smith. They have a similar build for sure, they also have a powerful running style that breaks tons of tackles. Jeanty appears to have a bit more speed than Emmitt.

Hampton is probably RB2 in the draft. Big and physical, doesn't have quite the extra gear Jeanty has.

If you do that at 12 go whole hog put the pressure on him give him the #22. Send the message you want him to live up to that and that's what you think of him.

Kansas St RB DJ Giddens.

This is our new OL coach blocking scheme and th RB who benefitted from it.

Ohio St RB Treveyon Henderson.

Obviously talented with legit breakaway speed. But two plays on this clip show off other traits. One, there's a play he throws the key block for his QB on a QB run play, then there's another showing smarts where he slides down at the 1 yd line late in the game to burn clock.

A few of them that could be in play for us:

RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State

PFF Big Board Rank: 5

Jeanty ranks among the best running back prospects of the past decade. He shattered single-season records in PFF rushing grade, yards after contact and missed tackles forced in 2024. His combination of vision, balance, strength and receiving ability is unmatched in an extremely talented running back class.

CB Will Johnson, Michigan

PFF Big Board Rank: 6

The only real question with Johnson is his health. When he is on the field, he is as smooth a technician as you could ask for at cornerback. He is outstanding in man coverage and a willing tackler who graded above 70.0 in run defense in each of his three seasons at Michigan. As long as he is on the field, Johnson will improve any secondary in the league early in his career.

WR Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 14

Egbuka’s route-running savvy, excellent hands and comfort level in tight spaces make him one of the easiest projections in this year’s draft. He is as consistent as they come at wide receiver, and coaches will love his willingness to play from any alignment and help as a blocker. Egbuka may not have the highest ceiling among the class' pass catchers, but he will almost certainly add a new dimension to any NFL offense.

EDGE Jack Sawyer, Ohio State

PFF Big Board Rank: 22

Similar to Egbuka, Sawyer brings a high-energy and high-floor skill set that should be a substantial part of an NFL team’s edge rotation early in his career. He isn’t the most explosive pass-rusher in this class, but he is very fundamentally sound, especially in the run game. Sawyer led all Power Four edge defenders with an 89.5 PFF run-defense grade over the past two seasons.

C Jared Wilson, Georgia

PFF Big Board Rank: 104

Wilson is the top-ranked center in a relatively weak class at the position. However, in his lone year as Georgia’s starter, he led the nation with a 90.5 PFF pass-blocking grade on true pass sets. His command of the Bulldogs’ protections is evident on tape, and he is a functional run blocker, as well. He could be a riser in the coming weeks as teams get to know him — and very well could be a Day 2 pick.

I like Nolen but would prefer we keep Osa and then draft Jeanty.
