Boyd is nice, really nice. James Conner the RB for Pitt is one to watch as well. Kid is a beast at 6'2" 250lbs, if they can feature him in the passing game a little so he can demonstrate the ability to catch the ball he could be a great prospect next year. As far as Mike Williams goes, you are correct in that his success is tied to Watson staying healthy. The biggest thing I want to see Williams improve on is his ability to make the those 50/50 catches. He lost too many contested balls for my liking for a would be top prospect and high draft pick. I also think the departure of Chad Morris could be a great thing for Williams as well, Morris fell in love with the screen game too much and didn't take advantage of his downfield threats enough. I usually don't like RBs as big as Conner, but he has more wiggle than most his size. I'll definitely watch for him when I'm watching Boyd next year. This is probably crazy, but I actually like Alex Collins out of Arkansas over Elliot and Henry right now. Do you think Williams is a legit 6'4? If he puts on some muscle this offseason he'll probably be much better at jump balls. What do you think of Shaq Lawson? I remember seeing him pop up a few times when I watched Clemson. Also Jayron Kearse? Depending on how Pryor plays this year we might need another safety. |

Ezekiel Elliot, James Conner, Ronnie Stanley, Jack Conklin, Spencer Drango We're in prime position to take a stud RB or OT next year I would love to grab Stanley or Tunsil to eventually take over for Brick and then take Alex Collins in the 2nd or 3rd. |

Yeah, I didn't mention Tunsil because I think he'll be a Top 5 pick...but it's still way too early so you never know. |

Ezekiel Elliot, James Conner, Ronnie Stanley, Jack Conklin, Spencer Drango We're in prime position to take a stud RB or OT next year We're long overdue for a Beast in the backfield. Elliot looked unreal down the stretch.. that would be amazing. I'm going to be locked in on Henry in Alabama too. That guy's the real deal; his game is tailor-made for the NFL. |

Do you think Williams is a legit 6'4? If he puts on some muscle this offseason he'll probably be much better at jump balls. That's funny you should say that - as I was recently watching on him and thinking to myself how natural he looked at his size. Some just don't fit their body types, but Mike looks comfortable and wears it well. 100% wide receiver too, not just a guy playing a position. I think he'll come around as he's given opportunities to develop/expand his game. |

Also Jayron Kearse? Depending on how Pryor plays this year we might need another safety. Williams will probably measure in at just a hair under 6'4", he is a little taller than Devante Parker. Shaq Lawson is decent, we will see this year if he can be "the guy" on that defensive line. He benefitted by playing opposite of Beasley and along side Grady Jarrett and Corey Crawford, we'll see how he performs now that he is the vet and will be asked to play a more prominent role. I have loved Jayron Kearse since they were recruiting him in high school. Much like the love I have for tall receivers, I have a similar affection for tall rangy safeties. Some thought Kearse would develop into an ILB over time but I thought his best chance of making it to the NFL was at safety, I'm glad they kept him at safety. Kearse has all the tools to be a really good FS in the NFL. I am much higher on Kearse having a successful NFL career than I am on Lawson. |

Yep Bama definitely knows how to churn out RB's Funny thing is, I thought Richardson would be BY FAR the best and thought Lacy would be the most mediocre. Was totally ass backwards on that one |

Since we'll most likely draft a RB next year here's an underrated one. He reminds me of a more physical Shane Vereen.
Elijah McGuire, RB, UL Lafayette: 5'11 198.
2014 Stats: RUSH ATT 166 - YARDS 2064 - AVG 7.6 - LNG 75 - RUSH TDs 14 - REC 45 - YARDS 468 - AVG 10.4 - LNG 62 - PASS TDs 2.
Here is his Bowl Game against Nevada:
If you don't have time to watch the game here are some highlights:

Sounds like Laquon Treadwell will be healthy and ready to go in September.

Jared Goff vs USC 2014. You also get to see Leonard Williams with a couple pressures and 2 sacks.

I've been pretty transparent about my feelings regarding Mr. Williams. Feel like he'll sneak into that Cooper/Parker/White type conversation next year with the Treadwells and Boyds.

If it turns out that he really was defending his mom, I don't think this will hurt his draft stock, but still it bears watching:

Isaac Whtiney, WR, USC. He just transferred from Riverside CC and should fly up draft boards this year. He's 6'3 215. Here's a video of him during USC's Spring Game
