Schneider and Carroll are excited about picking RB Rashaad Penny in the first round. They said they would have picked Penny at No. 18. Carroll acknowledged that Schneider's staff were "very active" in discussing a second trade down with other teams, but ultimately they decided against a second trade down. In addition, they said a team made the unusual move of offering to trade for Penny after he was drafted.
Schneider says Penny's pass protection needs to improve and that Penny recognizes it. Carroll says Penny will play as a returner, helping to take the load off Tyler Lockett, and will compete at RB with last year's 7th-rounder Chris Carson. He sees both Penny and Carson as "three-down backs." He also thinks C.J. Prosise is capable of playing all-three downs when healthy. No mention of the other backs, like recently-signed Mike Davis or J.D. McKissic.
Carroll speaking of Penny: "Probably the best part about this kid, this young man is humble. He's ready to work."
Schneider feels this is a really deep draft year with good running backs throughout every part of the draft. He thinks teams are waiting to draft these running backs because there are so many that can be had later in the draft.
