Player Analysis
The Good
- Strength – Boasts impressive strength for the position, shown repeatedly after contact and in pass protection.
- Balance – Able to brace for contact well, often bouncing away from the impact and continue upfield.
- Vision – Very skilled at choosing specific angles when running downfield to set up defenders to take themselves out of position or into the path of a blocker.
- Burst – High level acceleration allows him to take advantage of lanes consistently created by his mobile QB.
The Bad
- Weight – Measured in a good deal lighter than was expected by most, not incredibly concerning however.
- Sophomore Efficiency – Dobbins had a season that later proved to be quite uncharacteristic during his sophomore year, raising concerns about his ability to handle his reported weight effectively or possibly an understated injury.
Overall Assessment
PRE-DRAFT: Dobbins is a fantastic all-around prospect, showing impressive athleticism and high level ability in the passing game, while putting up great numbers in a tough conference. As an early first round selection in rookie drafts, Dobbins provides his owners with a great mix of floor and ceiling as a fantasy asset. Likely a 2nd round pick in the NFL Draft, he should have plenty of opportunities to produce early in his career, and doesn’t seem likely to waste those.
POST-DRAFT: Few players were as fortunate as Dobbins on draft day, finding himself in a very familiar situation to the one he thrived in at Ohio State. He once again finds himself playing alongside an incredibly talented dual-threat quarterback, behind a powerful run blocking offensive line, in an offensive scheme that makes great use of the run-pass-option. If anyone in the class has a shot to upset Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jonathan Taylor as the RB1 of the class years from now it’s Dobbins, and you should be selecting him immediately after those two are off the board.
