I'd at least know how to spell their names correctly if I was really watching them closely. Plus I'd be hard pressed to put Suggs, MSmith and OSmith in the same batch as Fargas and maybe Pinner, since they are behind aging guys and not a first round pick from the year before. But then again, just IMHO.
erek Watson - New England's RBs are not very good. People say Watson is talented and if he gets over his behavior issues then who knows? He'll be available very, very late and so there's no risk to taking him with your last pick.Quentin Griffin + Cecil Sapp - Two household names who both ended up on the Broncos. With Denver's recent track record with RBs you just never know. That said, I wouldn't depend on either one of these guys to come through.Eddie George #27 Height: 6-3Weight: 236Chris BrownHeight: 6-3Weight: 220 seems to me, chris brown fits Tennessee's current mold for RB pretty well - I'm not willing to discard him just because he doesnt happen to be 5'11-6'0
He's been a fine NFL RB, probably the best ever(since Campbell's career was short) in that franchise's history.Slider, you an ex-Oiler fan?I do think going from Houston to??(can't recall) then to Tennessee wasn't a good move. I have a hard time believing the NFL is proud of that franchise's move. If so, it's a different rationale altogether but I can understand your grief.
Very nice Slider. I saw Lee in a couple of games and although Hicks was the starter there, Lee showed some talent. I think he can beat out Doughboy if he can get his act together (had some attitude issues). I also like Griffin.
Why is everyone so down on Bennett on this board?He was 100 yards away from leading the NFC in rushing despite being in a RBBC for the first 3 or so weeks.He only got 20+ carries in 2 or 3 games and that wasn't because Tice didn't have confidence in him, it was because the Vikings were always playing from behind or in shootouts.He averaged more than 5 yards per carry, near the top of the league. The better the team gets, the better Bennett's stats will be. The Vikings have added many players to the defense and will make them more competitive.Bennett was very consistant last year after the RBBC was done with. He won't score many TDs or catch many passes, but he will be near the top of league in rushing for the next 10 years baring injuries.People are talking up Smith WAY too much. Sure, he might be a good talent, but teams that really needed a running back (Lions...) and didn't take Smith in the 3rd round.People forget that Michael Bennett had question marks on him when he was drafted, but he still was a 1st round draft pick. He had a domestic violence charge (which was bogus) that was up in the air and teams also questioned his size and lack of experience. But he was still a 1st round pick. If Smith is this god that you all make him out to be, some team would have taken a chance on him in the 1st round. Most teams passed on him 2 or 3 times.The only way Smith will ever be the starter on the Vikings if Bennett gets injured or gets traded somewhere else. You people make it seem like he is a complete bust and will never amount to anything.
I value differing opinions as much as the next guy, but I have a real problem understanding the rap you place on Brown because of his height. There are plenty of examples of very successful tall RB's in the NFL (Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, Chuck Muncie, and yes Eddie George). Remember statements made about other Rb's and their physical shortcomings coming out of college?B. Sanders - too shortEmmitt Smith - too slowThey did quite nicely, thank you very much.You have to ask was Brown productive in college, did he play against top flight competition, was he consistent. Yes to all.I'm not saying Brown will be a stud, but his production when healthy suggests the prospect for a very good player, regardless of height.
The Bills didn't spend a 1st round pick on McGahee to have him sit on the bench after he's healthy. If his knee heals properly, he's the full-time starter probably next year. Henry will be playing elsewhere.
Actually Big Brother John, I'm not sure even the coaches know how they'll use McGahee yet. Having said that, if both are healthy either could be the starter, couldn't they?So whether they keep or trade Henry, or keep or trade McGahee, may depend on seeing how McGahee does relative to Henry in game situations. That smells of rbbc to me. You also have the knee issue. At this time, I tink it would be premature to say that Willis will come back from the injury 100%. IF he does, then he has the opportunity to win the starting job. If not and he has lost his cutting ability (he still isn't healthy enough to try last I heard), then I doubt he will be able to supplant the current starter.
Toose may become the steal of the draft. Anyone that can run over linebackers in the SEC has a long future in the NFL. He is great at hitting the hole and is also a great pass blocker (you have to be at Kentucky who has NO offensive line). The last guy I saw run like that was Moe Williams (who got stuck playing behind Robert Smith during his hay day and SHOULD be the starter in Minnesota). I'll definitely take him late and throw him in my taxi squad. Take a late shot at him (especially in a dynasty league). He fits Mariucci's system well and we all know that Stewart can't stay healthy..... :X
In a dynasty, I don't think you'll be able to take him late...from what I've seen, he's going mid to late first round in most rookie drafts. I think he'll do well...I had hoped he'd fall to me at #18 in our draft, but he went somewhere around 14 I think.
Wow ... gotta say this is a great call
