There's zero chance he comes back and there's zero chance he's a fourth rounder. This board is full tard today.

I think he goes higher then that
Henry seems like the type that should kill it at the combine
But still I'd guess 2nd round at best

It would be in his best interest to go out this year. There are a bunch of talented RB's who become eligible next year. I can see him going anywhere from 70-100 in the 2016 draft.

He's not coming back. 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Probably so. He should leave for sure this year. Can't improve his draft stock any further. Plus I'm sure NFL teams would hate to see another season of 30+ carries per game. Also, this is a weak year for running backs.

No he wont. He is a great college back. But he does not translate well to the NFL

Your prediction aside, what running backs are leaving this year that are more impressive than Henry. Most didn't think Lacy or Yeldon would be a 2nd rounder either. Henry will be a 2nd round pick, regardless of what the guy in the OP said.

What makes you think the League will assign a first round pick to Fournette?

Even with a 3rd or 4th round grade, doubtful he'd come back at the position he plays. it's not like he can improve his stock with another year regardless. he just rushed for 2k yards and won every major award possible. i mean in what way could he better his stock?
Yeah, there's no way. He's ranked behind Zeke in draft rankings now. If he stayed he'd go after Fournette Cook and Chubb in 2017.

I'm a little biased because I don't value running backs highly.
A team with a need will draft him sooner than 100.

Ezekiel Elliott will likely be drafted before Henry, but outside those two there really aren't a lot of good RBs available unless someone shows out at the combine

I think he goes mid 2nd round to early 3rd round. My concerns with him are that he has been blessed with constant good offensive line play. Will he be able to be as productive being on a team whose O-line isn't that great. Also he runs a little high (but he is 6'3), fumbles to much for my liking, and haven't really seen how good his hands are to catch out the backfield. I could be wrong, but I didn't see Bama throw him the ball much. Him not catching passes could hurt his stock for the simple fact he can't be a every down back.

His performance against an NFL caliber defense like Bama's

And it is likely Henry does the showing out at the combine. Coupled with the awards, his career, and being from Alabama, he's going in the 2nd.

His style of play won't translate to the next level. He is an upright runner who lacks the shiftiness upright runners like Dickerson and OJ need to succeed in the NFL. He'll take a ton of body shots. Add to that a 4.5ish time in the 40 and nobody is spending a first or second rounder on him.
His game is built around the fact that he is bigger than most college linebackers and many defensive ends.

I don't doubt he goes in the 2nd. he's the 2nd best running back coming out this year. i meant unless someone other than those two running backs shows out, henry will be the second back taken in the draft, and that will be before the third round.
