Jonathan Dwyer

Pros

Cons

Overall

What you see with Jonathan Dwyer is what you get, a big physical between the tackles runner.  Unlike some of the top backs Dwyer has the potential to carry the rock 20+ times a game, he is a physical runner, with good vision, ability to break tackles, and he isn't as slow as his timed speed would indicate. Dwyer has been very productive at Georgia Tech rushing for consecutive 1,300 yard seasons and having an impressive 5+ yards per carry every year, however the triple option attack at G.T is far removed from any system used in the N.F.L, and he will have to adapt, and learn how to do things such as picking up blitzes and receiving out of the backfield. Dwyer could be a workhorse running back, but more than likely he will be used as a compliment to a speedier running back, or short yardage back. Dwyer could get picked anywhere in the second or third round.
