'21 NJ RB Audric Estime (Notre Dame Signee)

[Luckylucci]

He will do well on Sundays. Hope he goes to a team with an OL

I think so as well. A smart team will draft him in the 3rd or 4th round and end up with a productive RB for a several years.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I’d love to see someone grab him in round 2. It’s going to take a really good 40 time at Combine or pro day but good lord he’s got great film to go along w what will surely be a great interview and some really good strength numbers.

Stranger things have happened sure, but there Jonathan Brooks is pretty much the only RB who is consistently ranked in the top 50 on big boards this year. Pretty light class. I think we'll see a run on RBs in the third round, including Audric. Just my guess.

 

[Luckylucci]

Not necessarily saying this will happen, I wouldn't bet on it, but I could see some playoff, RB needy, teams like Baltimore, Cleveland, Dallas, Green Bay, etc take him at the end of the 2nd. If my Cowboys took him there, I'd be cool with it.

Put differently, I wouldn't put it the odds of that happening extremely low.

I'd love it if GB took him and let AJ Dillon walk. less than 4 ypc as a "power back" isn't going to cut it. Great dude, but slow as molasses.

Audric would be a GREAT spell for Aaron Jones as his career starts to wind down.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Buffalo need a bigger back behind James Cook. They used journeyman Latavius Murray in that role this season, splashed with Damien Harris and got a few carries out of Leonard Fournette when he was on the roster.

As a Bills fan, I’d take him at the end of round three if he’s there.

My thoughts exactly, Jones still looked great down the stretch but he's 29 and they have a very good young core on offense they should start to plan for the inevitable with him.

ND was right. Should have been moved to LB

Cowboys shouldn't let him fall out of the 3rd round

Our boy Audric got a shout out on today's Athletic Football podcast as someone they're thinking could have a good combine and improve his stock

Curious what his 40 will be... I'm thinking 4.58

If I'm Estime I'd take that

I don't think it'll be that bad. One of the draft sites had him at 4.48. Not sure if that's partially speculation or if that was an actual measured time from some past event. I'd split the difference and say 4.53 or better. I assume he's been putting some work in since he declared.

 

[Henges24]

Under 4.5 would be brain melting. Ill guess mid 4.5s

 

[Wild Bill]

High 4.5 to low 4.6.

 

[OhioIrish]

I’m interested in his bench reps. O/U 24?

 

[rikkitikki08]

I’m calling it now, colts will take him in round 2 or 3 to pair with Taylor

I wouldn't mind it, but they've got more pressing needs, OL, TE, DB, WR.

4.54

Yeah for real, I'm not a Colts fan but RB should not be a top target for the team. WR, CB, and OL should be a sweet spot for the Colts in round 2.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I remember when Le‘Veon Bell ran sub 4.6 at 230… I see something similar for Audric

 

[T-Boone]

We beat everyone last year if we just run the ball every down.

Except the downs where the passes were completed. Keep them in.

 

[T-Boone]

No way. 4.57 for mine.

 

[RDU Irish]

I want to see 4.49 just to see an ND guy's draft stock take off for once. Whatever the line is on bench reps, I'll take the over.

AJ Dillon ran a 4.53, and I really haven't seen that kind of straight-line speed translate on the field in GB. Eye test tells me Audric is faster

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I’m interested in his bench reps. O/U 24?

Jerick McKinnon (5’9″, 209 lbs.), a running back for Georgia Southern, was drafted by the Vikings in 2014 and currently plays for the Chiefs. Weighing only 209 pounds., McKinnon’s 32 reps is, pound-for-pound, one of the combine’s most impressive bench press performances

I'm wondering if he can get there.

 

[tko]

Start the clock after he runs something over and hurdles a dummy.

 

[Riddickulous]

After Miles Boykin ran a 4.42, I believe anything is possible.

 

[Irish#1]

I wonder how this will affect his drafting? The positive is he will be a rookie so that should help him when considering contracts.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I don't know. My fondest memories of Estime are him running in a straight line for 40 years and running back and forth to a bunch of orange cones. What a gamer he was.

 

[SaltyND24]

4.72 1st run

 

[NewBrunswickIrish]

4.72 1st run

Not a great time for him, but Finished top 4 in both Broad and Vertical jump.
