Mighe be on the list in the 4th round as an option, but there are other backs I would prefer. I personally don't think he plays to his size. Not as tough between the tackles as you would expect from a back his size. Not that he's poor between the tackle, just feel he could be more.
In a side not there are a number of backs in this draft that I like, but I've been doing some research if you look at the top 10 backs in each of the drafts from 2010-thru-2015 (figuring some of the 2016 and 2017 classes are still tring to find their way), you see only a handful of names that you would trade for today or consider full time starter. Most of the backs from that time frame are out of the league, deep depth guys or a few who split a starting role with anotherr back. My point being we know the shelf life of backs is short, but the recent numbers suggest by the time their rookie deals are done most of the top 10 backs selected in this years draft be added for a trade for a late draft pick or signed on a second teir or less free agent deal.

Because he has had too many injuries.

He’s not a Henry, I promise you that
Worse vision, much slower at hitting holes, not a good receiver, and not very good at making defenders miss. I wouldn’t say I’d be upset with the pick because he could help but I’m not advocating for it

Because he's supposed to be driving NASCAR with that name?

If his arrogant lying idiot HC doesn't even have enough confidence in him to make him an every-down starter, why should the Dolphins waste a draft pick on him? The ONLY offensive gumpster worth a hoot is Ridley who we probably SHOULD draft if available. He may be a Top 10 pick.
Drake wasn't an every down starter at Bama and he was Miami's bellcow in the last half of the season.
Ridley is absolutely not a top 10 pick

It's not like Damien Harris is some scum back. Splitting time with Harris shouldn't be an indictment of any back. Plus you do realize the Dolpins starting running back played in dual back rotation at the same school for the same coach. Just as Drake splitting time with Henry wasn't a bad thing, Scarborogh splitting time with HArris isn't either. Almost like saying why draft Sony Michel because he slit time as the starter with Chubb.

"Scarbrough has yet to play a full season of high school football. He broke his ankle in his freshman season, tore his ACL as a sophomore and suffered a high-ankle sprain last year. All three injuries cut his seasons short."
Scarbrough broke out after returning from that ACL tear, but was once again injured in 2016, this time during the National Championship game. Scarbrough was a beast in the game, but ended up breaking his leg and the Tide struggled after his departure. 2017 didn’t start off well, missing time with illness before soundly losing a large portion of his carries to Damien Harris.

Sorry pal, but this thread is a major fail. First off only thing in common is they both went to bama, second who says the won’t?
Not a Bama fan so I have only watched a few games. Bo just did not impress me. But I did read somewhere he’s been working daily on receiving skills and looks really good catching the ball now. I do want a big back with receiving skills. Samuels is my guy.
