Yeah it really does have that feel of late round stabs.
That's because it is late round stabs. Once you hit the fourth or fifth round, it's all about getting lucky with one pick.
The chances of sticking drop down from the 3rd to the 4th, of course. As from every rd.
But there are still some good players, based on tape, production- and consensus opinion, on the 4th rd board.
The RB is a 7th rd pasta noodle flung up against the wall to see what happens in camp.
Running backs are a dime a dozen. Unless you get the one or two guys early, they are just guys. Easiest position on the field to replace after an injury.
Nobody disputes that. That doesn't mean you wave your hand and a decent one magically appears.
You still have to have them. Especially when your starter has an injury history.
Also, backup RB/KR is a little different for a team that sucks in their return game.
Perhaps he can be a fullback that returns kicks....
‘ Nwangwu won’t beg for your attention. While he’s not soft-spoken, he’s certainly not self-aggrandizing. His stats won’t catch your eye, although you wouldn’t say the same of his pro day numbers, particularly an alleged 4.29-second 40. He’s spoken with 13 teams on Zoom calls since his pro day, but he’s happy to let his tape do the talking.
After five years in Ames where he was primarily used as a return specialist, Nwangwu is ready to ply his skills at the next level. It’s not often a special teams star has any realistic NFL dreams. Then again, it’s not often a 6' 1", 210-pound man can outrun and outwork, well, just about everyone.’...sports illustrated
