Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina (R1, Pick 22)

50/50 is not 1-dimensional.
The top run-centric teams were: Eagles, Ravens, Packers, and Bills.

Its not. I expect we pass between 52% and 55%

Packers is a surprise to me, the only other two teams that ran more than 50% have running QBs with a lot of installed QB run plays. I don’t see them turning Herbie into that

I don't either... but he could be very deadly as a play-action passer.
Had we run the ball better... and had better receivers... I think we could have gone deeper in the playoffs.
The OL is still a question mark at center. But having a backfield of Hampton/Harris... and possibly JK... will really open things up.
With real X-WR's in MW and Tre Harris, the OL will be better protected, IMO.

The best players play... and I expect to see Ladd, MW, and Tre Harris on the field together a lot.
Pair that with the RB's... and LB's and safeties will have their hands full.

It may not be Roman's style... but I'd love to see some 4-WR sets.
MW and Tre split wide... Ladd and QJ in the slot. Hampton in the backfield.
What a fucking nightmare...

I love that 4 wr set….Hampton and Conklin and Gadsden added in is a real mess to handle defensively. We went from Dobbins and Konk to all that in 1 offseason? Really have to give Chef props on paper here….what aweapon laden crew we have.

The depth at WR and RB (even TE) got drastically better.
We're well-equipped to deal with injury. I think Gadsden and KLS are picks they envision developing for a year.
But they could certainly step in if injuries occur.

Throw in Taylor to that group for me, it's still a projection at Guard and I don't see him on the field unless it's an emergency.

You forgot the speed of KLS mixed in!

I thought he wasn’t that big until I saw that pic of coach Harbaugh welcoming him. Harbaugh isn’t exactly diminutive, but damn, he made Harbaugh seemingly look 5’9”. He looked huge by comparison.

We all saw that. It was the photo. Hampton is a big RB but coach is taller.

Dayum!! Coach is Huuuge! I thought Hampton was bigger.

My guess is that LG- C will be competitive in camp with no one just awarded starter. They'll have to earn it.
