Okay, I'll admit, this is one of my draft crushes. I know there is a huge wave of Damien Williams fans out there, and I definitely agree it would be a waste of an early pick to go RB, but Antonio Gibson is a maniacal monster that is being mocked in the 3-4 round range. Have you guys watched any film on this beautiful specimen? It's like watching a TE play RB.
He's raw. As hell. As in 34 career rushes. CAREER. 77 Total Touches. However, he has 14 touchdowns on those 77 touches. That's good, right? He's listed as both a WR and RB. 6'2", 221lbs and runs a sub 4.40. Freak.
Andy would have so much fun figuring out ways to get this guy involved and it would be amazing to watch him wear down defenses with a body as fresh as a newborn baby.
Yep, I'm really hoping he is there for us in the 4th. Size, speed, moves and hands and experience at two positions. Would love to see what Reid could do with this guy. [Reply]
That’s my later round crush, Reid would definitely have a blast dialing up ways to get him involved
But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a player with so many different listed heights, some places say 6’0, some 6’1 and others 6’2... would still want him as a six footer, it’s just kinda weird [Reply]
I'm in as well, love this guy! My favorite guy in the draft I think. Dude darts and runs like a rabbit out there. Perfect fit for Reid and I can't imagine that he's not all about Gibson as well. I'm afraid he's climbing in the draft and we'd have to trade up in the 3rd to get him even with the lack of touches.

Thoughts?
He definitely seems like one of those under the radar guys that multiple teams are secretly in love with... the height/weight/speed factor is real, he could easily go higher than projected [Reply]
love him and McFarland. I wish we could somehow get both and give one Shady's spot, and the other can duke it out with Darrel Williams for RB 3/4 [Reply]

Yeah, I think he's getting more and more attention. I expect him to go earlier than the 4th round. [Reply]

The body of work is brief, but the measurables demand attention... I hope he’s still there at 3
He’s raw, but with a mixed bag of the Williams brothers and Thompson, he could be eased into the rotation as he adds polish... much like Hardman was at receiver
A great boom or bust roll of the dice with low miles on him [Reply]
He was also sitting behind Darrell Henderson who was a badass and selected 70th overall last year by the Rams. His 2019 competition wasn't that great though, so I'm not sure why he didn't get more touches. [Reply]

I read a really terrible character review on McFarland from a scout. Said he was "like a child" and had really poor temperament.

After Marcus Peters, I'll pass.
All scouts have different views and that does not mean he's like Marcus Peters, being immature and being abrasive to everyone isn't the same. [Reply]
