Absolutely the pick you want in the 5th round. I’m hoping he can be productive and really contribute this season and the rest of his career.
Watched film on Gray. I expect that by mid-season he's going to have a lot of fans. He really does look NFL-ready. He may never be a pro-bowl running back, but I think that he will be a productive running back from the get-go.
Not sure why Eric Gray is getting Ahmad Bradshaw comparison. Besides being small and a third day pick, he runs nothing like AB. Doesn't have great acceleration, no fifth gear, shies away from contact, okay (but not great) vision, uses a spin move way too much (will get annihilated in the NFL). There is some upside to EG, but it's very questionable whether he will transition to the NFL well.

Gray is a dude. He’s gonna produce right away and give us a good 1-2 with Barkley. Breida the cheetah gotta eat too!👀💪💯
Awesome podcast!
Go and watch Eric Gray's highlights, dude has elite gap finding skills and change of direction.
Pat great interview with Josh Helmer i loved what he said about Eric Gray. Barclay and Gray will be a dynamic running combo. Great video as always Pat keep up the great work Pat go GMEN. I am an every dayer
Gray sounds like a real solid pick
Pig and a Pickle!!¡!!!¡¡!!
Evan Neil could always move to guard & we could grab a right tackle next year .
Hey Pat “Every Day Er” here… do you think we keep 4 RB’s with Brightwell being a Special Teams player as well as a RB 3 or does he get cut?
I had Eric Gray & Jalin Hyatt on my College Football Fantasy league last season. Everyone already knows about Hyatt & his exploits At Tennessee. But Gray flew under the radar on a national level… but he was very productive, in every aspect of the game. Ironically, he & Hyatt were teammates briefly at Tenn., until Gray transferred to Ok.
And you have to realize, his productivity was way up there in the annals of single season RB’s, AND this was the season after Spencer Rattler flopped as a Heisman candidate., and transferred to So. Carolina. So the focus of the O changed from ‘21 to ‘22… and Gray stepped up. Great lower body strength, excellent in pass pro. AND catching the ball out of the backfield.
This is a total grade A pick, especially as a 5th rounder!
IF ITS TRUE SAQUON TURNED DOWN 14MIL ALL IMMA SAY IS KEEP FUCKING AROUND SAQUON!!!
EVERY DAYER PAT I LOVEEEEE YOUR CONTENT AND THE RECENT DRAFT PICKS THANK U SO MUCH I AM A FAN SINCE 68
IMO if you have to scheme around Neal this year, and hopefully we don't, he's gone next year, or he's a guard next year, you can not have an ineffective right tackle. This O-line has been atrocious for too long to carry a poor O-lineman
Everyone take a chill pill on Evan neal. I bet he is solid in year 2.
