while technically a running back, he'll mostly block. His film was extremely violent, so hopefully that translates to an effective fullback role as a punishing blocker ala Wake and previously El-Bakri.

I think that's right. I think his athletic upside is higher, though.

Yea, williams sure is worse than anyone in the 2021 group. right.

Neither looked great in 2016

Algie looked pretty good in 2015. We assumed he would be good in 2016 like we're

Algie switched positions to fullback in the offseason

W/ Allgeier's meteoric rise I think it's fair to put him right up there w Jamaal

It's tough to conpare. The o-line in 2016 was awful and Jamaal was still

I tend to think that two things occured last year for his meteoric rise

Those things can't be ignored. We shall see how he translates.

I actually think depth was better in that 2016 group

"Measurables to be good starters" is so speculative

Squally wasn’t proven prior to the 2016 season. He had a few carries (or one?)

Brown averaged 2.7 yards per carry and was converted to fullback

Kalani's recruiting philosophies & methods are very diff than Bronco's.

How do you justify putting Miles in tier 2 and Ropati in tier 3
