Achane is much smaller which to me doesn't work as well. Minimum a RB should be is 200 lbs

Gibbs is only 10lbs heavier and 1" taller, not a ton of difference although ideally 205 - 215 is what I like in a back that plays with finesse and catches the ball out of the backfield.
The thing about Achane is he has great balance and runs more physically than his size would suggest, probably more physically than Gibbs. Achane runs like a bigger back and Gibbs runs like a speedster. I like Gibbs and am not suggesting one over the other but if 1 falls and it was Achane which is the more likely, I may be tempted. Good returner too

Honestly think Gibbs will be a better pro as weight can be added by both so it would be easier for Gibbs to hit that 205 weight a lot easier. Gibbs is also a better receiving back. Regardless of how much I think he'll be a legit player, he may not be there or we may determine other needs are important.

Yeah, it is a crapshoot. Lots of good prospects in this draft Robinson & Charbonnet are 1 & 2 to me. Gibbs & Achane are small and only CMC & Eckler get many touches in their size range which is under 208. Gibbs was used almost exclusively off tackle and on the outside but is a really interesting back.
It is going to be fun to see how these top 10 backs impact the league over the next few seasons, it is as deep as a draft has been in recent memory for RB's.
Let's just hope our run game is much improved irrespective of who has the rock

Achane and Gibbs will likely report with more weight to start camp. If a team is smart they won’t run it off them in camp so they start the season under 200lbs. But that’s just me with my arm chair QB merit badge.

Yes I hope we get a good one too cuz I'm sure we'll draft one somewhere.

I love the idea adding a stud RB, like Gibbs.

A solid RB can make a big difference right away.

 

[oldnotdead]

The Rams can probably get Zach Charbonnet in the 3rd round to play RB3. He's a decent power back with good size and speed. He also can catch. It normally takes more than arm tackles to bring him down and he usually falls forward. He is exactly what you would want and expect in a RB2 or RB3.

The only thing I say is you don’t want a player like that to slip away if you’re depending on finding your RB2. If you think Williams is the guy then there you go.Counting on smaller backs,but still a power RB to grind out tough yards.Especially with the rule of RUBY!

Gibbs runs a lot like a smaller version of TG.

 

[Neil039]

Gibbs runs a lot like a smaller version of TG.

IMO he could fill that role for the next 4-5 years. But my thoughts on how & who the Rams should draft has never been close outside of Goff recently. I may die with a Welcome To The Rams Creed Humphrey T-shirt under my regular shirt.

 

[Merlin]

One of the few good decisions the Titans have made in the past couple offseasons IMO. Statistically at 29 he's on the downhill run and he's a proven commodity with expectations. And at that position the best are the young guys who come in with their hair on fire, all fresh and shit and ready to "once more into the breach."

Dealing with vets and their BS is part of the game, unless it's a RB.

 

[Merlin]

Also I'll add re: the RBs that the Rams should learn an important lesson with Henderson, that being consider how big the holes are the back runs through, then ask yourself if he is the type of guy who is going to continue to do well when said holes shrink up. Because they're gonna shrink up if that RB comes to the Rams. And it's not just our anemic run blocking but also the free hitters who come through the line to complicate shit further for these guys.

This is one of the reasons why McVay's offense has always looked its best with a power runner in the backfield.

I think Zach would be RB 2/1 for us.
I would be somewhat surprised if he wasn’t ahead of Akers by mid season although Akers is a complete enigma

Gibbs runs a lot like a smaller version of TG.

Personally I don’t see that, Gibbs was used outside at Bama 110 Ish of 150ish rushes were off tackle or way outside. He can catch but runs like a guy looking for the edge rather than breaking any tackles. He looks like an in addition to type of toy to me. Achane not to beat a dead horse is smaller but faster and more physical.
Of course when they get to the next level we will see how their past plays a part, but Gibbs shows none of Gurleys toughness.
Gibbs and Achane scare me as feature or high workload backs especially Gibbs who only had about 151 Carries, Achane in the Jimbo Fisher NFL style Offense had 200 with more contact, broken tackles and tough goal-line yards

Gibbs 0.9 YPC after being hit at or behind the LOS 3rd lowest in 2022 RB class

Achane 3.5 YPC after being hit at or behind LOS 4rd highest in 2022 RB class

I will likely be wrong but watching them both it seems Gibbs will really need the right system to succeed which he very well may.

 

[Ramon Ram]

Plus Saquon is an actual FA and requires no draft capital. Out of all the RBs, I'd want Jahmyr Gibbs if we prioritize that position. As a low key, I do like Chase Brown as well. Good size and speed combo.

Saquon has been tagged and would cost the Rams 2 first rounders.

I think you are underselling Gibbs. He's a weapon not just a RB. He can be a mismatch in the pass game as well and has home run ability. There's a reason he's considering the best back behind Bijan Robinson. Not saying we'll target him but the team that gets him won't regret it.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Well look at when I posted this. At that time, the Giants weren't getting anywhere with Daniel Jones and rumored to use the franchise tag on him which would have made Saquon a free agent. That obviously has changed plus he wasn't someone who I said I'd try to get if RB was being targeted.

I'm gonna have to sit down and watch his games, given all the hubbub about him. I hate Bama tbh. It's hard to evaluate them too because their players have greatness all around them which generally is gonna change at the next level. I mean look at the QB. Great instincts and all that but what happens when he's behind a shit OL vs a smart DC that gameplans down to his ass hair color.

I've been deep diving the TE film in my spare moments of this busy spring period. But definitely will start looking at the RBs as where we are drafting is that wheelhouse for the ones who fall out of round 1.

 

[Merlin]

So just watched 2 cutups on Gibbs and didn't take long for me to agree he is as good as people say he is. He makes the first guy miss on a routine basis. His runs in the fourth quarter are just as hard on the interior as they are early on. Rare suddenness. Great all around too, in the pass game or sitting down in the flat or in a zone.

Shitty pass blocking but that's typical. Also he actually puts his head in at least which means he's willing.

Oh and lastly he is very comfortable taking handoffs from the shotgun (from the side) which not every RB is. The guy is a perfect fit for this offense and what McVay wants. Looks like a Faulk type to me in a lot of ways, though I think Faulk had better vision at finding seams for the long runs.

Best compliment I can give him is he doesn't look undersized when you watch him run. He's a smaller dude but very powerful. Definite bell cow type to my eye at least.

Also he seems to see a lot of defenders in that backfield which should prepare him for our backfield if he ends up here. His power really is something.

Imagine if his last 4 games were not blowouts and he actually carried the rock.
