Rashaad Penny - Underrated
-
This kid is a machine. But nobody's seen him play. Look at his progression, goes from MWC Special Teams player of the year, sits behind the leading rusher in Pumphrey and has over 1K yds as his backup, and then breaks Pumphrey's record getting 2248 yds last season. Kareem Hunt proved if you can play, it doesn't matter where you went.
I think he'd be better than Duke on day 1.

Draft QB's at #1 and #4 and this kid in the second round. Offense fixed.
-
Rather see a CB or FS at #4, but yeah. QB1, then CB or FS/SS , then this guy in rd 2 somewhere.
His brother is an NFL RB. If anyone understands what it takes, it's this guy. He sounds ready to work his butt off to show he's the best. Being in a weak conference didn't hurt Marshall Faulk at all.... and this guy broke Faulk's record

I've got him ranked above Barkley I really like this kid.

So...you are saying that on Draft Day we should be doing this:

I agree with you. QB at 1...best player who's not a RB or QB at 4 and then draft this guy in round 2. He did play in a small conference but as opposed to a certain small conference QB who wilted against better competition. This guy still put up big numbers and his team won both of those games against Pac 12 opponents Stanford and Arizona State. 18 for 216 (12 ypc avg) against ASU and 32 for 175 (5.5 ypc) against Stanford.
9/9 @Arizona State W 30-20 18 216 12.0 95 1 9/16 Stanford W 20-17 32 175 5.5 36 1

His game vs asu was incredible.
-
He’s a good back but he can’t pass block.. AT ALL. I think that will be detrimental to his NFL career. He is really talented though.
Don’t see us drafting him because we already have Duke. I think we’re going to grab Ronald Jones II as our bellcow back in the 2nd round.

A 200lb "bellcow back"? Duke is 210 and undersized for the position.

His press conference was a good watch. Stated specifically that pass protection iswhat he's been working on for the NFL, and he's ready to prove he's a 3 down back.
I liked Jones usc too, but penny is bigger than most of the other backs coming out.

He’s 20 years old, he’ll mature physically and fill out

You don't draft a RB in the first 3 rounds and hope they fill out. At this point, "filling out" for Jones would be getting to Duke's size.

That’s your opinion, I respect it. I personally believe he’s a first rd talent, who will get drafted in the second round and be an absolute STEAL for whoever gets him.
Time will tell who’s right and who’s wrong

I didn’t see his press conference, but it’s awesome that he recognizes what he needs to work on. Sounds like a guy who works hard and is humble

Penny, Michel or Guice, just get one of them in the 2nd round.

Disagree. Duke Johnson is 5’9 210. Ronald Jones is 6’0. That height is a big difference when it comes to filling out. Jones will be 220-225 when he fills out.
