Welcome Kimani Vidal, RB, Troy

[Lefty2SLO]

I am thinking Sproles.

We can only dream he'd be close to DS . . . . . . . . . . Sproles was a freak - made guys look stupid on the field. This guy looks more like Michael Turner light. Sproles played at 185 - 189, Vidal's at 213. When you actually can find him - it's going to hurt . . . . . . . . .

[Jack Burton]

Ekeler was good the first 5 years, maybe 6

If this kid has Ekelers attitude of when he was a UDFA and brings it - Spiller might be out of a job or on the PS

I think this pick spells the end of Spiller.

Spiller ended Spiller because he sucked when he got his opportunities.

I don't get the sproles comparison, he doesn't cut like sproles or have the million steps a minute quick footwork that sproles had, he legitimately looks like Michael Turner when he runs just at a smaller size, same type of stride and lean, and the big ole' ass dragging behind him like with the burner, like they stole a couple of turkeys and stuffed them in the their pants...looks just like the burner running...very reminiscent style of movement and build, just at a slightly smaller size...

Looks like Vidal doesn't have breakaway speed, BUT...I'm seeing a whole lot of first downs from this dude...and that's a good thing...

Nope, his football speed isn't 4.46

Reminds of of Lil' train....Lionel James....

If you'll notice from Vidal's highlights, he gets caught several times before taking it to the house...so, not breakaway speed, but great burst to get through LOS...like I said, I'm seeing a whole lot of first downs from this dude...

To be clear - I love the pick! And I'd keep Dot over Spillar . . . . . . . . IF Dobbins can stay healthy (big IF) we've got a nice RB group - feels a lot like the WR group in that they're all solid, but no superstars.

FEELS MUCH MORE LIKE A HARBAUGH TEAM NOW THAN BEFORE THE DRAFT . . . . . . . . . . . . Derwin and Joey better understand what's coming. There will be no more 'pet' players . . . . . .

And that’s what this team needs. Converting and keeping drives going.

Also. This now gets the Chargers to an offensive position where they can truly play Harbaugh power ball.
3 true, RBs that can hammer teams for an entire game and keep the opposing teams offense on ice and on the sideline in the 4th qtr.

[Whydachargers?]

I'm loving the highlights. Great balance. He will be hidden in the redwood forest of the Chargers OL.

5TDs in the Sun Belt Championship game.

Amazed he lasted this long.

damn fucking straight!!! We know Herbert isn't that type of person either so they are building a TEAM around him that reflects his attitude...

I approve of this message...with the O-line Harbo and Trader Joe are assembling, I'll bet Dot springs some nice long ones...and a few to the house...
