Absolutely.  But, there's no other explanation as to why he fell so far that I've seen.

Gainwell is neither big, nor shifty. He's fast, but not quick.

Ravens doing Ravens things.   Good pick... fits their mold.

He’s shifty.

We should, he can still contribute and we can get a comp pick next year.

And he's gonna actually have motivation this year. Contract year.

Miles' hands disappeared last year.

I misspoke a bit. He's not stiff, but you'd like to see more shiftyness from a 5'8 RB IMO.

Sure there is. he opted out last season. Teams just dont value RBs as much and one less year to track. Teams dont scout every player on every team in college. They have to go after certain schools and certain players. Sometimes you pick a school just based off a player and find others. Then at some point they honestly take from the networks boards as well. Resources can only go so far, esp this past year.

Well he gains well when he gets touches

Wentz’s placement was off to his RBs. That was part of it.  If Miles gets back to rookie form, the line stays healthy, the RB corp of Sanders, Gainwell, Scott and, assuming a refreshed non starting role helps, Howard would be a wicked rotation.

I don't know much about him but he certainly looked "shifty" in the clips I've seen of him.  He ran for 1459 yards at 6.3 YPC and caught another 51 passes for 610 yards.  And he's also known for getting YAC.   Unless he's a 100% N-S runner (didn't look that way on tape)...he has to be "shifty" (at least to an extent)  to put up those types of numbers, imo.

Man, ESPN is the better telecast now. Never used to be that way. They have such better analysis. 

I will be shocked if the Eagles use all 6 of their remaining picks to select players with no trade ups or trade outs for 2022.   In fact, I'm shocked that Howie hasn't already made a move back into Round 5 already.

That's ok.  He can take a fair amount of carries and is an absolute weapon downfield.  Owner loses his mind when the team rushes well so.............

That doesn't excuse the pure drops and the fumbles.

Can't wait to use these 6th round picks!

They're about 15 picks behind at this point though.  That's my only issue.

 

Lots of interesting linebackers and safeties left.

True. At least they’re going in-depth with the picks.

Hoping for Wallow & Stephens.
