Round 6 (193): Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech

[HoosierCat]

Round 6 thread.

Zeirlein again:

Stout runner and workhorse who handled a whopping 633 touches for Texas Tech’s offense over the last two seasons. Brooks runs low to the ground with a powerful base and instant cut quickness to shake tacklers or elude them in tight quarters. He can keep a run alive but doesn’t have the stride length or acceleration to create space and run away from a rally-hard defense, which could turn him into more of a try-hard grinder. He plays on third downs but hasn’t been all that explosive out of the backfield. Brooks’ productivity and ability to force missed tackles give him a chance to become an NFL backup.

also:

Will catch everything thrown into his frame.

Puts funk into contact on blitz pickup and chip blocks.

That’s right boys…

and we finish with a fuckin' running back.    JEEBUS!!!!!!!!    why do I have to be a fan of this team

[volcom69]

This is guy is awesome! I can see him having a huge role if they use him. Great pick up there 

[ArmyBengal]

Thought he got hurt which sapped all his speed? Think that’s why he fell so far.

Maybe I’m thinking of someone else, but a RB in the 6th huh? Wow. Way to close it out Bengals.

[HoosierCat]

Really good blocker, can see him getting used the same way they used All while he was healthy.

[glasgowbengal]

Good pick 

[volcom69]

They have a really good RB room right now. 

[COB]

Can probably play teams as well.

I have tried so hard, but I just can't do it. I can't. I don't have it in me.

I have no opinion of this draft pick. It happened. I saw it. Those are my thoughts about Tahj Brooks, RB, Texas Tech.
