This is probably the worst group of second tier RBs in recent memory. I'd reluctantly take Ginn, but if I actually had this pick then I'd probably trade down and pick up an extra 2nd.

 
I prefer Pittman to Bush and Hunt.

I watched Hunt's highlights today. He looks like a stiff. No burst. No moves. He doesn't even run low.

It's pretty much the same story for Bush. He looks a bit sluggish back there. Not much different from Eric Shelton from what I can see.

Pittman has more wiggle and speed. He better fits the mold of today's top pro backs. I think it's pretty close between him and Irons. Irons has a good build and sometimes looks the part of a future NFL back, but he doesn't stand out.

Like I said, a very weak crop of second tier RBs. Lorenzo Booker might be the best of the bunch when all is said and done. I'll also be keeping an eye on Dwayne Wright and Gary Russell.

 
I actually have the #6 pick in 2 leagues next year.

one league is PPR and includes return yardage.

that league I would take Ginn easily.

the other does not include either of those.

unless one of the remaining RBs goes to an ideal situation (but he would be gone by now) , then Quinn would be my choice.

I am really hoping Jarrett or Russell falls to me at #6.

 
Can someone please explain to me the love-affair w/ Michael Bush? I don't recall the last time a big back did well in the NFL as far as FFBall. Jacobs is an amazing back in NYG, but I'm reading everywhere that he's not expected to become the everydown back w/ Tiki retiring. He faded pretty poorly late in the season - but then again so did the rest of the Giants offense.

There's no doubt that in TD-only leagues... he should be a top-3 pick for rookies. But I think it's safe to say most FFBall leagues are yardage (+) TDs leagues - and I don't see Bush being a big time play-maker in the NFL outside of pounding out the tough yards.

 
I went with Irons, rb is the key to winning at ff and you can't ignore the success that rbs from the SEC have had in the pros not to mention the fact that auburn is one of the elite schools in that conference. BTW I agree that michael bush is overrated even if he hadn't missed an entire season of football I wouldn't expect him to do much in the NFL. Like someone else said he's an eric shelton clone
