RB Draft Talk

14-15m would be a non starter for me in the Kyren contract discussions. That is just simply too much for a non elite RB. Play out the year and move on.

What was the average in 2023, it was up there but not 30ppg.

23.7 which was significantly up from the injury riddled ‘22 season (18.1)

I like Corum but I wouldn't use the word "explosive" to describe him.

Me either. To be fair and transparent, I didn’t watch him in college and there’s limited work to evaluate in his rookie season. He appears to have a little more burst and change of direction ability than KW. I’d give the edge to KW in all other abilities.

Corum- IIRC on the play he broke the forearm, catch in the flat and hit twice at sideline…it didn’t look incredibly violent(in relative football terms). Obviously it was enough to knock him out of the game and onto IR.

Could be a fluky injury and probably was, but I can’t help but feel like he finally gets his opportunity to start and shine, but gets knocked out instead. Was Corum an iron man at Michigan?

Kyren has struggled to stay healthy here. He’s missed alot of games.

IMO both Corum and Williams are ideal relief backs behind a 3 down elite feature back. That’s where they belong on an ideal McVay offense.

Was it really Kyren Williams in the 5th rd who rejuvenated the dead Rams run game? Or was it McVay’s strategic shift towards more physicality offensively? Maybe both. Idk.

I won't be too surprised in this deep RB draft, knowing how Cold McVay can be (Not necessarily in a bad way) if they go early with a bell-cow back and Kyren posts "Yikes" on twitter.

The back most like Kyren in this draft might be Neal. If the Rams want to draft a change of pace type I like the UCF kid, Harvey or the Auburn kid, Hunter. They have a guy similar to Kyren in Corum and Rivers.

Both imo, better guards with Kyren’s vision.
