Bills and 49ers both ignoring White RBs. Sorry but Schrader should have been selected over them both.

Before Shipley was taken, Barkley's backup was Kenneth Gainwell, who has just 895 yards rushing in three NFL seasons. He can catch as well but Shipley is obviously a better talent in both areas, plus he's a good pass protector.

Barkley is injury prone and getting older for a RB and there's not much there after him so might end up being a good team for Shipley, gotta think positively about it.

Wow. Didn't see this one coming! But, yeah, Barkley with several injuries and hopefully the Eagles will rotate Shipley in early and often!

Just did an update at the best White players available and they could all be taken in the 5th round no questions asked however the NFL will ensure that obscure blacks get the chance before White athletes.

Barkley is also injury prone. I would have liked to the the Bills nab Shipley but they went black and so hopefully he finds a role and playing time on the Eagles.

Chargers have some picks coming up in round 5. Would be great to see Harbaugh get Steele and one of the many White Michigan players in the draft.

Anyone have the numbers for round 4? Guessing below 20% and the worst for Whites so far.

Seahawks and Texans both draft White TEs. Why aren't teams with White Qbs drafting White TEs? Bizarre.

Contradicting myself from earlier but you could argue that alot of the top white qbs in the league have a top white tight end or at least whites at the top of the chart - 49ers Rams Lions Bills Vikings even Patriots have three at the top of the depth charts for Maye. Raiders have two for Minshew. Buccaneers have two for Mayfield.

Agree its a shame the elite prospects seem to be ending up with black qbs but not a shortage with our guys either.

However, Kiper said he should have went in the first round. The 4.4 hand time hurt him after the injury. Without the injury and a 4.3 time, he's going in the first round.

He should have not run. His game tape shows his incredible speed. Leave it at that. No need to run when injured.
