Why is Nate Frazier the #5 running back prospect for the Vikings in the 2027 draft?
Uh thank goodness it's Friday edition of Thor Talks Purple. Teased this yesterday on the show. Today we are going to get into my top five running backs for the 2027 NFL draft. We've talked about the Vikings running back situation here uh in recent weeks and going back to the spring. Next offseason, we expect the Vikings to put major investment into that room as they intended this past offseason. It's just that it didn't work out for them. That's why they ended up bringing back Aaron Jones on the discounted price. But I think we're going to get it next year, uh next offseason. The investment in that running back room. Will it come via the draft? Let's talk about the top five running back prospects. How are you doing, AJ?
I'm doing fantastic and I can't wait because I like Don't get me wrong.
How does Isaac Brown’s speed and explosiveness make him the #4 pick for Minnesota?
I love talking about like linemen and getting in the trenches, but there's something about wide receiver, running back, quarterback rankings for the draft that just kind of get the goosebumps and the in the blood pump in here. So we'll get into it here. I want to hear your top five. Starting us off in the number five spot, we'll work our way from five to one. Who's your number five uh running back uh in the twenty twenty-seven draft class?
Uh that's Georgia is Nate Frazier, five foot nine and three quarters, two hundred and five pounds. He's a he's heading into his true junior season with Georgia. Nate Frazier got on the field right away as a freshman, which is obviously very impressive, and he's been awesome, you know, the uh for basically from the get there. Last year, 947 rushing yards for uh Nate Frazier. Uh the thing that I like about him, my my comp on him is actually now you try not to
What makes Keewan Lacey the #3 running back target for the Vikings?
Helmet scout, but uh DeAndre Swift is the guy that I ended up going with there because of the shiftiness of Nate Frazier and the shiftiness in uh uh uh condensed quarters. Uh his ability to change the the tackle angle of oncoming defenders, his ability to get out of trouble there, and then just the feel and and and tempo that he runs with um sort of matching his footwork to what his eyes are seeing. He he gives you a skill set like Like that. And it it's a guy, he's not he's not the biggest running back for sure, but it's big enough to carry a load uh there. And this is probably someone that can get over, you know, closer to two hundred and fifteen pounds. But yeah, I mean, w last year, uh, but you know, the the different things that that we saw him do, uh, five and a half yards per carry in the SEC, sixteen catches last year.
