    Henry got over 1,300 carries in high school. He followed that up with nearly 600 at Bama. That's too many carries. He will struggle in the NFL is my opinion

    The last back we should trade for. Force fed into 40-45 carries a game behind the best offensive line in the country??? No thanks. See a lot more Trent Richardson potential than Lacy or Ingram who all 3 looked better than this guy.

    Never draft Alabama running backs they all fail, only exception so far is Mark ingram, and he is only a good back, not Great

    I don't like Henry or Elliot as a pro and I am against drafting a RB in the first round unless he's a no brainer like Peterson or Gurley. Plenty of good back's to be had in the later rounds. The focus should be on building a dominant O-line. I would just wait till next year and draft Fournette :)

    No thanks. Bama running backs haven't been that great in the NFL. Ingram is alright, Lacy had a terrible year, we all know about Trent.

    Everytime a new RB comes up in Bama everyone says he is better than the last one.

    Yelton is another one who has not done much in the NFL after looking great in college.

    No way I'd take Henry.

    I'd rather OJ Howard in round 2.

    I'm not high on Henry and wouldn't pick him in the first round. If I was the GM, I'd wait to draft a RB next year because of how loaded the class is. Next year, I expect Fournette, Cook, Chubb, McCaffrey, and Conner to all declare.

    Tide QB and RBs are all designed to win a college championship for Saban not an NFL Superball

    Good job to help pad Nicks already massive bank account imo

    There's a Coach who knew the NFL wasn't for him lol

    I'm not even sure I would take a RB in the first three rounds. There are a lot of impact position needs on this team. With some good scouting, a RB could be found in the 6th, 7th or undrafted.

    If you could make more money for half the work or stress, wouldn't you sign up for that gig? I would.
