Rookie Rb's 3 yrs from now (1 Viewer)

[Thunder]

I want to see which RB you guys feel will be the RB that will be producing 3 yrs from now better than any other. Alot of the polls I see & rookie draft results dont discuss if the player is on a reserve roster or must be inserted in a line-up and I think that can alter the results. I feel Mendenhall is the player that will be be the stud in 3 yrs since the current contract of FWP expires in 2 seasons. FEEL FREE TO EXPLAIN YOUR SELECTION

 

[EBF]

My long-term top five includes the following:

Rashard Mendenhall

Jonathan Stewart

Darren McFadden

Felix Jones

Ray Rice

Stewart and McFadden are in the best situations to make an immediate impact. Mendenhall and Rice could be starting in another year or two. Jones should contribute as a change of pace back immediately with the potential to develop into a Westbrook type.

I'm not sold on Matt Forte or Kevin Smith as anything more than stop-gap solutions. Jamaal Charles is a career RBBC guy.

 

[Thunder]

Thanks EBF for responding, always find value in your responses

 

[bigmiiiiike]

Cowboy fan here, and my vote went to Felix Jones. A lot depends on what Dallas gets MBIII signed to, but I agree with EBF's analysis that Jones will be a better NFL back than fantasy back for the next few years. 3-4 years from now though, MBIII will be pushing 30, and Jones (especially if he doesnt have a lot of wear and tare by then) will be entering his prime. Romo will still be around, hopefully the WR situation will have been addressed, and the young D that we have now will still be a force. So basically, I dont see a much better situation that a rookie RB could be in than Felix Jones (at least, looking 3-4 years down the road).

Stewart, if he starts strong, could be the real deal in Carolina, but they don't look to be a very good team any time soon.

Mendenhall is similar to Jones in that he could be the main guy on a pretty good team in a few years, but I see Parker sticking with Pittsburgh until at least the twilight of his career, limiting Mendenhall's long term value.

EBF, how do you feel about Chris Johnson these days?

He's a player I've gone back and forth on. I like the first round pedigree and the combine numbers. He has the raw athletic ability to be successful and he brings a dynamic receiving element that could pay big dividends in a PPR league. On the other hand, he's a bit of a straight line runner and he lacks the pure bulk of a typical starting RB in the NFL. Overall, I see him as sort of a poor man's Reggie Bush. He should catch a lot of passes and make some big plays, but I'll be surprised if he's ever an unquestioned starter.

 

[PSULions]

Stewart, if he starts strong, could be the real deal in Carolina, but they don't look to be a very good team any time soon.

Carolina has been a pretty good effort to change their philosophy this offseason and I expect they will surprise some teams this year. They have signed several Free Agents to bolster the OL, moved Wharton the LT to LG and drafted up with the Eagles to grab Otah at #19, so this is not the typical Panthers OL. They will be much larger and stronger upfront and when you throw in Stewart into the mix the Panthers are making a statement that we are going to run the ball this year. Stewart has great strength and speed mixed in with the ability to catch the ball and block for the QB he will wind up as the starter for the Panthers and make a huge impact on our offense. I think the Panthers have done all the right things and are shooting for the playoffs and with the NFC being fairly weak, I think they have a good chance to win the division.

 

[Thunder]

So PSULions was Stewart your selection for tops in 3yrs?

What specifically don't you like about Matt Forte? From what I understand, he's a good size and has a great opportunity in Chicago.

If I'm using a top 5-6 rookie pick on a guy then I want someone who has a chance to develop into a top 15 player at his position. I don't see that kind of upside in Forte. He does a lot of things well and should be able to step in and put up some decent numbers right away, but he's not a dynamic talent or a guy who figures to be a long term starter in the NFL. The competition for touches is brutal at the pro level and only the very best players can hold down a starting spot for multiple seasons. Think about guys like Ahman Green, Fred Taylor, Brian Westbrook, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Clinton Portis. Does Forte really stack up with those guys?Forte is a fairly ordinary talent. His long speed is merely okay. He has good feet for a tall back, but he's not truly explosive. His long legs present durability questions. I think knee injuries are an above average possibility given his build. I see him as a poor man's Deuce or a cross between Chris Brown and Chester Taylor. He's not a total scrub and he's capable of scoring some points when he gets carries, but he's not a franchise back in the NFL or FF.

Smith and Forte may have good short term opportunity, but will not have long term success. They just aren't good enough.

 

[Thunder]

Hey Switz Im guessing you selected Jones. Ya been backin him all along and you dont remind me of the type that would just change your opinion overnight. For the rest of you lets hear why ya picked who you picked

and I tried to be good and not clutter the thread with my Jones hypin' ways If I can just give my thoughts about the other guys though..

I worry about Stewart being healthy in three years. He's a bigger back, with an injury history. And CAR wants to go back to pounding the ball a la Steven Davis. Great for a few years, but a short life for an RB.

Mendenhall arguably could win this in a landslide. I tihnk he's a better RB than Stewart, and he lands in a good situation for the future. In three years he coudl be the #1 guy there (probably will be) and will be in a good offense than will use him well.

McFadden - I waiver on daily.

Charles and Johnson are COP backs for sure.

Ray Rice should be a decent RB, but not ever a FF #1 RB IMO. A bit too small I think. But he's built well.

 

[Thunder]

Thanks Switz!!

[coolnerd]

Let's see if history holds

Of the top 3 (McFadden, Stewart, Mendenhall) - One will a true real/fantasy stud, one a total bust, one a member of committee or just solid but not really interesting starter.

Of 4 first down type backs (johnson, Jones, slaton, charles)- one will have proven to be an every down back, one will be a total bust, two will be average committee backs)

Of the 2 second level backs( Forte, Smith) -One will be a solid but boring starter, one will be a semi-bust RBBC guy)

of the 4th round picks or later- one will be a legitimate starter, one will have had one nice fantasy year because of injury, the rest will be irrelevant or out of the league.

 

[Andy Herron]

Stewart, and file it.

If history holds true I see Mendenhall as the true real/fantasy stud, Mcfadden as the bust, & Stewart will be the member of committee. I was flip/flopping between Mend. and Stewart but I just dont see FWP beyond 2yrs holding Mendenhall off

 

[EBF]

The big advantage Mendenhall has is the presence of Roethlisberger/Holmes/Ward/Miller/Sweed. Landing in such a plum spot means his team will be scoring a lot of points and he'll never be asked to carry the offense on his back or do everything on his own. So unless all the scouts were wrong and he's a complete bust, I think he's going to be a pretty good FF option in the coming years. Floor is Maroney. Ceiling is Addai.

Jonathon Stewart. He's not fat, but he's definitely above the range of ideal size for an NFL RB.

ok, we're in agreement here, he's above the ideal size for a RB but he's not fat. M=S, you really think his body fat % is high? He looks like a rock to me.

 

[Maroney=Speed]

A must have list: Don't want someone to come back in three years from now and say of course I did.

Again Great job Thunder.

Matter of fact, maybe we should just post who doesn't have McFadden #1. I'll start the list, and update it as we go.

Just for starters:

switz- no. Matter of fact He has McFadden at #4. You still stand by these rankings?

dmac37: no. You still stand by these rankings?

Mayock- no. Has Mendenhall, for now anyways. 4/17/08

Bloom- no.

ConstruxBoy(John)- no

EBF- no

Bob Henry- no Has nothing to do with hate, just want to make sure,when we look back we have a easy way to find the answer.

Cookiemonster- no

FavreCo- no - Matter of fact He has McFadden at #4.

zadok- no - Matter of fact He has McFadden at #5.

Jedimaster21- no

Almas_4th_Child- no

gheemony - no

[switz]

switz- no. Matter of fact He has McFadden at #4. You still stand by these rankings?

Yes, I do (though I believe I had him #3, NOT #4 which was Stewart). It doesn't mean I don't think McFadden could be #1, but in assigning risk modifiers, McFadden fell behind Mendenhall and Jones, who I believe both have a better chance to be the top-RB in this class.

[Blackjacks]

3 years from now

1) Stewart

2) Mendenhall

3) K. Smith

4) F. Jones

5) McFadden

6) Forte

I'd love to put R. Rice here but that would be assuming McGahee gets hurt and I don't want to bank on that.

Because I hate reading what someone said, when in fact they didn't. I just like to have things in writing. I'm on record. I know you like McFadden, correct? Anyone can come on here in three years from now and said Yep I know Stewart wasn't going to add up to much. Or McFadden was a lock at 1.01 pick. Or GB got the worst Qb in the draft what were they thinking. So on and on. Got it?

[switz]

Because I hate reading what someone said, when in fact they didn't.

The problem with this, is that this board doesn't last that long. Try researching that I had Edge ranked higher than Ricky. I did, but you can't find it. OR try researching me having LT as the best back in his class, and I called him a HOF calibre talent. It happened, but you won't find it.Posts on these boards seem to last about 3 years, and then disappear. And that's too short of a time to really make a call on the results of this draft. You need about 5 years to really measure a draft.

I had him ranked about 5 or 6 but I really think Detroit needs a workhorse and I think he'll be up to the task. I really was hoping R. Rice was going to end up in Det. and I might have put him in the #2 spot behind "your boy" Stewart. I really just think Det. is going to change their philosophy and run the ball alot more. Also with their wr's the rb will never see 8 the box so that's something to never have to worry about. I like Smith's talent + situation and I think it validates his spot in the top 3. Kevin Jones, when healthy and got oppurtunities, put up descent to good #'s there. I think Smith will do the same.

You should know better. I put my rankings for all to see, if I was wrong there would have been tons of posts saying so, I hope everyone can wait to see if I'm ever wrong. That day may never come, but I'm sure there's about 50 guys that hope it does. Some of the guys that question me, are PM me question, that is funny. Don't you think?

Hmmm... I don't see "tons of posts" saying you were wrong about Stewart, even though he went #2 in the draft, and you didn't even think he was going to go in the first round, or was among the top-6 backs in the class. Why? Because most of us here are both classier than that and recognize that where a back gets drafted doesn't make someone's pre-draft rankings right or wrong.However, you are much more worthy of being called out for saying Stewart was not going to go in the first round, than anyone else is for having McFadden in their top-4 or 5, but not #1.

Because most of us here are both classier than that and recognize that where a back gets drafted doesn't make someone's pre-draft rankings right or wrong.However, you are much more worthy of being called out for saying Stewart was not going to go in the first round, than anyone else is for having McFadden in their top-4 or 5, but not #1.

I said Stewart would be a bust. Time will tell. Nothing to talk about yet.

You also said he was a second round pick.

Kind of, I said He would go in the 2nd round. Right before the Nfl draft I posted I was WRONG some teams are high on Stewart. But I would not have drafted Stewart at all, if I was a Nfl team. I stand by the fact I think Stewart will be a bust. Again time will tell.

If we are talking fantasy-wise...

1. Stewart

2. Smith

3. McFadden

4. Mendenhall

5. Johnson

6. Slaton

7. Jones

8. Forte

9. Charles

10. Rice

Interesting list. I especially like puting Slaton at 6. He was close to my top 6 as well. I think he might be able to break the starting lineup in Houston sometime in 3 years. The thing that scares me with him is how much of a little girl he looked like last year towards the end of the year.

So Moroney=Speed....even after the draft ya still have the fat kid off your rankings?

What rookie RB is fat? Can't think of any, no Lendales this year???

Jonathon Stewart. He's not fat, but he's definitely above the range of ideal size for an NFL RB.

So is Turner, FWIW.

You should know better. I put my rankings for all to see, if I was wrong there would have been tons of posts saying so, I hope everyone can wait to see if I'm ever wrong. That day may never come, but I'm sure there's about 50 guys that hope it does. Some of the guys that question me, are PM me question, that is funny. Don't you think?

So you don't stand by your rankings?
