Could be perfect with our 4th.

Looking forward to the "WE GOTTA TAKE HIM IN THE 3RD.. NO QUESTIONS ASKED".
I could see him being a beast in this offense with Jimmy slinging it out of the shotgun.

Thats what I was thinking, happens every bowl season!
After taking 2 Iowa players last year, could we look at that pipeline again this draft?

That source is still rich in football ore. We could upgrade multiple positions by drafting from Iowa alone(Jackson, Akrum and Jewell).

I keep thinking if Hyde walks than a veteran and Wadley could work along with Joe Williams coming back.

No doubt. Akrum is a clutch player, always coming up big when you need it.

Jewell is going be one of those 10+ year lunch pail players. Think he may get overlooked in the draft, a later round gem (jewel?)

Hyde and Wadley would be pretty sick lol. Gore/Morris as backup plans for the short yards,heck can even use Juice there maybe? Then you have Easley,Breida and Williams who all would make a bomb ass Neapolitan shake

I may be alone on this one but I think the 4th round would be a good place for him

I was wondering what his measurables would be
RB Akrum Wadley: 5-9 7/8, 188

He is tiny tiny.
8" hands, 27" arms; does not bode well for a RB largely praised for his ability catching the ball out of the backfield and the slot. He certainly plays bigger than his size, but I would have hoped for at least 5'9" 195lbs.
