Watch the tape on snell... he can play. I’d love snell in the 4th. Productive in sec when he was the primary weapon for Kentucky. He’s not a burner but he’s 220 and can play. Don’t be fooled by men in spandex. Snell is the real deal. [Reply]

I was watching combine stuff tonight and saw snell. Then watched his highlights. He seems like a good bruiser with balance. I’m on board with taking him in the 4th. [Reply]

He may find a role somewhere but Duncan is right regarding how we run our offense.
You can't have Snell in this backfield with the amount of shotgun formation we run. He's just not sudden enough. [Reply]
I watched Snell a lot in college. I don’t think he’s explosive enough for the NFL. He doesn’t have the acceleration or quickness to be effective out of the shotgun for the Chiefs, IMO. He could be effective in a situation where he’s just running downhill, I think, but I don’t see an every down guy. [Reply]
I would still take a flyer on Holyfield with a 6th. Look at his tape. Does that look like a 4.79 to anybody? Emmitt Smith ran something in that range and I'd say he had a pretty productive career.
If I'm a GM this 40 time isn't making me lose any sleep. If anything it just dropped him lower for me to snag now. Same goes for Singletary. [Reply]
Henderson ran a 4.49... quoted at 4.36 in this article? And on snell, how did snell out run so many sec defenders each week? Barring injury, snell will be a great back. [Reply]

He didn’t succeed by outrunning SEC defenders. He was in a run-heavy scheme that fed him the ball consistently and used dual-threat QBs to open up running lanes. If you watch his highlights, there are no long runs in there and he pretty consistently is caught from behind in SEC action.
He has decent burst, and good power, but he’s a downhill runner who needs time to accelerate through a hole and get his pas squared.
I don’t think that’s a good fit for Chiefs offense. He doesn’t have the quick start-stop KC needs from its backs. Hunt didn’t have breakaway speed, but he was very quick and elusive at the LoS. Snell doesn’t have that elusiveness. [Reply]
Alex Barnes put up some impressive power, explosion, and agility numbers for a 6' 226lb RB at the NFL combine. Media reacts to Alex Barnes combine performance here.
Honestly, Ozigbo seems like the guy Veach would covet. He's big. He's fast. He's good in pass pro. He's a good receiver, just not active enough when things break down for his QB but he can learn that. He doesn't have the elite contact balance, but he's okay there. He gets up to speed immediately, just insane burst.
Alot of good sized backs in this draft if he wants to take one. If I'm looking right around 220 or so you have Montgomery, Anderson, Armstead, Barnes, Jacobs, Mattison, Ollison, Scott, Snell, Ozigbo, and Crockett for sure. [Reply]
