1.01 Michael Crabtree, WR 38% (Moreno, 27%)

1.02 Knowshon Moreno, RB 62% (Wells, 17%)

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see Wells/Greene as more then a RBBC (bash to someones dash) or GLB at the next level. Someone who I hope people in my leagues over look is Brown (UConn). I think if given a real oppurtunity could do something.

 

[gheemony]

McCoy for now, but it really depends where he lands. Could easily put Greene ahead of him. And I'm still open to the possibility of Wells moving into this spot, but I'm feeling risk averse today.

 

[broncofan13000]

Voted wells here. I wonder if peoples opinion on wells will change if he's the first rb selected in the draft.if an nfl team is willing to take the injury risk, maybe some ff'ers will too.

 

[guderian]

Wells. Once again FF'ers are dramatically over-emphasizing the "injury prone" label.

Kind of like they did with Ryan Torain ?

You want me to start listing all of the "injury prone" rookies that turned into consistent pro studs? Or maybe the list of pros that were injury free in college that turned into busts because they couldn't stay on the field as a pro?

I am not the biggest Beanie fan, but there's a huge difference between him and Ryan Torain.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

not to rain on your parade but I cant assess this class until the draft is over.

Most of the RB's talent is too close to call and to me situation more so than other years will determine who I want at #1 etc.

LOL...who?This is going to be a wild year for rookie drafts. I'm stunned that Crabtree is #1.

its cause he's the only "for sure" regardless of who drafts him.The RB depend too much on situation, No ADP no Bush in this class.We all know who the top 5 is

I agree to an extent, but I like these polls to get an indication of where people stand today and to see how the combine, then draft, affect perceptions. FWIW, IMO the draft isn't a good way to assess talent.

 

[Spike]

Can I offer a suggestion for the OP?

Add some definitions for these players we're voting for.

- PPR?

- Starting lineup requirements

- Scoring system

- etc.

I would have to assume people's rankings will differ based on some of these.

 

[Gandalf]

I vote Shady

Adp was listed as injury prone and he isnt too bad

 

[big country]

Wells and shouldnt be close

 

[Rockchild]

I voted Wells. Yes he has some injury concerns but has produced when healthy. This year in particular has been tough to guage him as he's had some nagging injuries that need only time to heal. He doesn't have ideal top end speed but has shown burst in the past. While it's important to discuss shortcomings of prospects, sometimes we tend to over think things and over emphasise these shortcomings in relation to the positives. This kind of reminds me of the discussion about JStewart with his injury history although Wells doesn't have the speed Stewart has.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I really think that's what's happening here with Wells possibly dropping as far as #4 on these rankings. People seem to be trending towards the sexy pick just to be different, which for this board seems to be McCoy.

 

[awesomeness]

Beanie's burst is suspect, his speed is average, his stride is long, his lateral movement is bad, and he has an injury history.

I'm staying away personally.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

Just wait for the combine. I think his stock will soar after. He has extreme physical talent for his size and he is plain and simply, a football player.

 

[EBF]

I'm wary of Beanie. Is there upside there? Sure. Could he be a star at the next level? It's possible.

Do I want to be the guy who gambles a top 4 pick on him? Not particularly. There are too many question marks.

Fair enough and you seem to follow college football a lot more than I do, but are there not too many question marks of any of this years prospects especially at #3 or 4?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

There's no such thing as a college prospect without question marks, ESPECIALLY at running back.

I don't get people saying Beanie is slow, the guy is freakishly fast for his size.

It really depends on who you're talking about. I think many of the WRs offer a good upside with minimal risk.The RBs are a little tougher to figure out. I think a lot will depend on where they land.

He seems to have very good speed, instincts and a wicked stiff arm. Could very well end up being a better version of Micheal Turner IMO. Obviously, what you don't like are the questions about attitude and injuries. Hence the dilemma.Take a look at this video though. Skip ahead to about 1:00 in for the Beanie show to start.

ETA:

I agree that all these RBs situation will mean a lot. If Wells lands in Denver he could be an instant star fantasy RB. Likewise for Moreno. They have a huge need, since the last really quality season turned in by a RB was Mike Anderson. Put one of those guys behind an established star in a Priest/LJ situation, and both should probably fall out of the top 5.

Do you think Cincy might take Wells at #6? Benson's 3.5 ypc isn't that good, plus you have the "Ohio Factor".

I kind of doubt it really. At least I don't think it would be the smart move. They could land Greene, Brown or Spiller in RD2. Benson does need to be replaced, but while I acknowledge not being a Bengals expert, it seems like 17 sacks for a season in pathetic. Orapko maybe? I am a huge fan of Jenkins as well. That could be your "Ohio Factor." IMO the teams most likely to take a RB in RD1 are:

Denver

San Diego

Arizona

Tampa Bay

Philadelphia

New England

 

[Boone22]

How about we just give Wells and McCoy 3a & 3b and move on to #5? Some of these rankings will change after the draft anyway and McCoy may not even end up declaring for the draft.

I don't agree with this method, I know i voted for Wells this last time and I'll vote for Shonn Greene next, I think alot of the Beanie votes will go to Greene in the next round.

McCoy

I voted McCoy but not to be different. I just feel he can be a real standout at the NFL level. I think some of the other top rated RBs look to be solid pros.
