Blinkscout 2024 RB

This class was as ugly as next year's will be bright. In fact, I'm going to list the RBs for next year so you all don't wonder why I don't have a RB in the top 2 rounds. These are guys that could all threaten for the #1 spot this year.

PSU Singleton, Allen
OSU Judkins, Henderson
OREst D Martinez
UNC O Hampton
OKst Ollie Gordon
Boise Jeanty
Tulane Hodges
UGA Etienne
CAL Ott

There are others from smaller schools also.

For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mostly I'm watching for specific skillsets that are valuable to me. These change over time, but not by a lot. My actual process of watching film has grown and I definitely get influenced by the other posters, because I trust their eyes. I call it "Blink" scout because my brother came up with the name after reading the book Blink, where people use rapid cognition to make assessments, which is kind of my thing. I don't give that many notes ... Deadpool has that covered. And I go way beyond draftable players. I generally italicize guys that may not be obvious that I think will be great values.
Also, a note I forgot. Practice squad players are more relevant and make more money than ever before, so filling that squad is not only important, it's really like a minor league team getting our coaching so we are going to draw good players.

I don't want anyone before round 5, because that's when you'll maybe equalize value. 6th would be preferred ... there are also good athletes that were behind other players that could be developed or used on ST.


I have 45 players here ... 18 were drafted last year. We would be a spot for a priority FA that would be appealing.
