Nate Atkins on drafting Love, Hunter, linebacker and secondary play

[majrleaged]

He is/was boom or bust
One season he's great, one season he's a JAG

Barkley had 482 touches his first season with the eagles. That takes a toll. Especially an older RB.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Would probably take #13, #61, and one of the RBs to get up to #7 for Love. Probably Kyren.

So good his first 5 years that Indy traded him.

Feel free to flesh this point out. Are you saying that Marshall Faulk was not a great HB? If not, how does this point advance your argument (whatever it is)?

Marshall Faulk wasn't Marshall Faulk til he came to the Rams.

And you're the guy turning Jeremiah Love into a JAG Running Back prospect. Highly questionable.

Silly stuff
Seems the defense ruined the party but you’d have to have, well you know, watched the game

Easy there, pardner…we ain’t beefin’

Of course I watched the game. Just engaging in talk about the effect of a home run hitter and the difference one can make. When they could block for him, Saquon was the difference maker because it sure as heckfire wasn’t their passing game…lol.

Most are talking about Love.

I’m firmly on the Mike Washington Jr train…

6’2” 221 lbs, 4.33 40 yard dash and is a natural pass catcher with soft hands which among running backs isn’t common. Runs over and by people and is 22 pound heavier than Jamyr Gibbs and just as fast if not faster.

There were a lot of reasons for that trade, none of them a reflection that Faulk wasn’t Faulk. It was still a blockbuster trade at the time and the Colts felt they could avoid paying Faulk by drafting Edgerrin James in the first round which they did.

What round do you think Washington will get drafted?

No, wasn't a reflection of Faulk. We KNEW we were getting a great player, Faulk wasn't quite what he ended up to be in St. Louis in Indy though. Smart move by Indy re-setting the "RB clock" going from Marshall to Edgerrin. Great point out Mack.

If that was the trade package to move up to #7 I’d do it without hesitation. I think WASH would consider it.

If our future #1 pick was involved I’d still consider it. Some members on the board would be on suicide watch if that happened, lol.

I really think that Love is going to TEN at #4, and I don’t see the Rams willing to go up that high for anyone except a QB.
