Saquon Barkley is the best RB I've ever seen

My rankings already take that into account.

The player whose face concerns me the most is LB Tremaine Edmunds (Virginia Tech).

When I watch the tape I see a surefire early 1st round talent. He's big. He's fast. He's athletic. Just a dynamic overall player. However, then I looked up his picture and was horrified. He's unfortunately a very ugly brotha. Typically ugly players don't become elite players. Almost every elite athlete is good looking to a degree.

So yeah, Tremaine Edmunds is the guy in the 2018 Draft who facial features concern me the most.

This might be even better than the time D4H couldn’t remember buildings on his campus because the lunch ladies were black. I’m not sure, though.

He's a better pure runner than them. Great size and speed combo. But also has the hip dexterity to make moves at the second level that Derrick Henry couldn't.

I would be hyping him up a lot more if his durability didn't scare the daylights out of me.

The performance last year against Washington and Clemson in the playoffs is what sold me on Bo Scarbrough. As a pure RB talent, he's phenomenal. Poor Man's Eddie George IMO.

Problem is his hip dexterity only works if he can get to second level, and unless he can go untouched for the first 5 yards, he won't even make it out the backfield.

What he did last year does not even resemble what he did at times two years ago.

It would not shock me that he does not drafted, but I don't see him in the first half of the draft.

Does the ugliness trend work for basketball too? Or only football?

It works even moreso in the NBA. All the greats in basketball are very handsome men. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, etc.

Very rare to be ugly and an NBA superstar.

I guess Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell, Nick Van Exel, Shaq, Scotty Pippen, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwan, Dennis Rodman, Larry Bird were all sorry ass bums.

Da hell? Most of those guys are either good looking or not superstars.

Sam Cassell and Nick Van Exel were never superstars. So that makes no sense. While guys like Hakeem and Barkley are actually very good looking. My mom in particular has mentioned often that Charles Barkley is good looking. KG, Pippen, and Shaq are neither good looking nor ugly so they are fine.

The only real ugly one in that group that is also a superstar is Larry Bird. But then again he was an outlier in more ways than one so I guess its okay if he breaks the mold.

I gotta call foul on Pippen, brah. No way he qualifies as anything other than ugly. Exception to the rule.

I gotta wonder how Dobbs fit into this analysis, D4H. I mean, he's got a personal condition that detracts a bit from his overall facial construct. I assume it isn't enough for you to discount his potential to be great given your comments on him.

What do you see in his face?

So now D4H has shifted his ignorance to taking personal looks into accpunt for greatness? Wow. I wish I could laugh but I just cannot. This is next level special dumb.

You gotta be kidding me right? Outside of the hair loss induced by his auto-immune disorder, Dobbs is a very good looking young man. He's got the PERFECT facial morphology of a superstar. His looks are a big reason I have so much confidence in him.
