Lets talk second tier Rookie RB's (1 Viewer)

[Burning Sensation]

It is difficult for me to take RB advice from a guy who's avatar is Benson Will Lead the Way.

I find it difficult listening to armchair quarterbacks that have never played/coached football(beyond HS).

I find it hard to know that without asking. At least a SN like "Benson will lead the way" gives the rest of us a pretty good idea of your (in)ability to rank RBs well.

Then why don't you ask Switz? and Again...I never said Benson was the most talented or best RB in the NFL. He is perfect fit for the Bears power running game, once they fix the Oline and QB issues...he will be a good RB in this league. Quote me when I have said anything more than that.

Well, your screename is "Benson_will_lead_the_way", not "Benson_will_be_suitable_with_a_good_supporting_cast".

While I doubt he will ever be more than a serviceable RB... your screen name implies, not that he will be good with help, but that he will be the leader on that team, and a leading offensive component. Not likely at all.

Go piss about screen names somewhere else.

I think it's a good point when one is talking about RBs. Looking at who they've previously though was good or bad gives you an idea of how to value their rankings.

The first tier is Mcfadden, Stewart, and Mendenhal.....whichever order you would like to put them in.

However, the second tier may become the most critical in dynasty worlds.

In this group we have: Felix Jones, Ray Rice, Kevin Smith, Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, Steve Slaton, Matt Forte.

This is the group that has question marks or else they would be in that top tier.

Felix Jones 6-0 207

Jones is the most explosive RB. Great Speed and lateral movement. Can he run inside? Does he have power? Can he handle the full load without mcfadden? Those are his question marks.

Ray Rice 5-9 205 Rice was the man that brought Rutgers football back. A very marked man that carried that team, but did it wear him down too much with all of those carries? Rice is a great inside runner, that is smart and has good pad level. However, does he have the burst or speed?

Kevin Smith 6-1 211 Smith was amazing for central florida. He appears to be a long strider and resembles an Eric Dickerson like running style. He didn't blow away from defenders, but didn't get caught from behind either. So the main question is....how fast is he really?

Jamaal Charles 6-1 205 Charles has no questions with speed because he is a sprinter on his texas track team. But can he run inside and is he fully developed?

Chris Johnson 5-11 195 Johnson, like Charles, has no questions about his speed. It is his inside running and bad week in Mobile that people are questioning.

Steve Slaton 5-10 190 People remember the Sugar Bowl and thought great things for Slaton in the future. He had two great years in college, followed by one average year. What happened? Was it Slaton or did defenses figure out the system?

Matt Forte 6-2 223 Forte was very productive at Tulane and has shown many skills. His question is his speed. I compare him to Brian Leonard, a jack of all trades kind of guy.

I gave each guy a slight introduction....but where do you see all these players ranked?

OK, now that the draft is over. The big 3 should still remain the big 3, so where do you put the 2nd tier now.Smith

Forte

Johnson

Jones

Rice

Slaton

Charles

Hart
