Samaje Perine: RB Oklahoma

I will like the Giants to target him in the third or fourth rounds. We need a human wrecking ball, a bulldozer in our back field to complement Perkins. Let him grind out the tough yards (4th and ones, 3rd and twos etc). This component has been missing in Giants' Offense forever. He reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew with a very low Center of gravity.

Sure he will still be there in the 5th our first four picks need to address major team shortages on offense and defense.

is the kind of player we should be looking to pair with Perkins.
Agreed. Love both him and Kareem Hunt, but him more.

him a lot. Agree with the MJD comparisons. Low center of gravity. Punishing runner. Good feet and vision at the LOS to hit holes. Good hands.

Problem is that he doesn't have breakaway speed. Choppy runner. Don't think he'll be running away from anyone in the NFL. And that punishing running style might really shorten his career and subject him to concussions. He slams into defenders. It's more about running over than running around them.

Fourth round, maybe the third.
wow

not only does he run through tackles....but no one seems to catch him. He's got the speed to take it all the way.
Wow

that kid is tough to tackle.
Health is his only concern

And he is a bruising RB

I like Joe Mixon better. Faster and better receiver but he comes with some baggage
