Blount a no show

[DJ's left nut]

With the athleticism Gerhardt showed in the combine, the toughness he shows on film and the raw production at Stanford, this kid gets a first round grade if he's not a clean-cut white boy.

With Thomas Jones on board, we have bigger fish to fry. But if I were a team in need of a strong RB2 with RB1 potential (and virtually no downside), I'd take Gerhardt at the end of the 2nd without thinking about it. That kid's a player.

i think the argument is that he tries to barrel into all of his runs and that he built his numbers by overpowering much less powerful college defenders. He won't be able to do that on the pro level. He'll have to adjust his running style.

But I agree that he deserves a real good grade. The kid's also got a great work ethic and I think he could very easily be coached out of those bad habits. Might take 2-3 years, but it's worth a flyer. Not by the Chiefs, but by some team.
