As you're talking "potential", why does McFadden drop so much? If you were talking where you'd draft them, likelihood of becoming a stud, etc. I'd see the drop more easily. Usually, potential comes from talent.

Not always. Talented players frequently bust in the NFL.Problem is that the most talented players aren't always built to endure the NFL, take Reggie Bush for instance - his talent is among the top in the league, but he's had trouble enduring the grind of the NFL game, and his explosiveness hasn't always shown through.When I say NFL potential, I take talent, and then try to see how it fits in the rigors of what's needed to succeed in the NFL.

ok, I just factor ability to carry a workload into my assessment of talent. But I can see where you wouldn't.

They could've acquired Willis McGahee,

Yeah, thats what the Bills should have done.

Wow. Brain fart.

Well, it could have been possible, we do have a Dave & Busters here in Buffalo now.

Don't forget that we have Applebees also!

Yeah, exactly... that's the difference IMO between natural talent and NFL potential... I don't think ability to carry a workload is really "talent" - because I see talent as more of "natural ability" and you can build body mass to carry the workload.Semantics...
