There are going to be some ticked off RB owners... (1 Viewer)

Holy Schneikes

Footballguy
I know this happens every year to some degree, but with a lot of talented vets settling into good situation before the draft, and with at least 4 guys in the draft with potential 1st round grades, there may be some stiff competition for starting slots this year.

As a Thomas Jones owner last year I was PISSED after the draft, but that was really the only situation last year where a guy who was set up pretty well had his stock drop considerably. Turned out it wasn't that bad (for now), but it wasn't a good feeling.

This year I'm wondering if there won't be a few more roller-coasters than usual. What "wide-open" jobs are really out there to be had?

Arizona just got Edge. Minnesota just got Taylor. Green is staying put, Alexander is staying put. Foster is staying put.

The only team I see that has a strong need for a starter is Indy (don't get your hopes up Rhodes owners - there isn't a better RB draft matchup out there than Indy at the end of the 1st).

So who's going to take the hits? Looks like Davis will be hit hard. So assuming Rhodes and Davis are two of the losers, where are the other two going to go and make things interesting?

Will Pittsburgh grab a back to the dismay of Parker owners? Even though Willie was tremendous in some ways, I could see Pittsburgh wanting another complementary back. What might save Parker is that there is really only one exceptional bruiser out there this year and he won't fall to Pittsburgh.

Maybe Baltimore? Lewis just signed a big deal, and is still fairly young, but he hasn't been particularly reliable.

Denver I guess is always an option, but they usually get their backs later. Still Bell owners could be disappointed (again) after the draft.

Tennessee? Brown is intriguing, but has obvious trouble staying healthy.

Jacksonville seems like a decent possibility. Not good for Taylor owners (or Jones hopefulls).

Pats seem like a good possibility too. Dillon owners beware.

Despite 2 decent options, Atlanta could be in the market due to Dunn's age and Duckett's apparent regression. A good rookie in Atlanta wouldn't really kill Duckett though, because he will likely be moving on soon anyway, and Dunn has fended off one highly touted rookie already.

The Jets are another possibility. Martin is no spring chicken anyway, but the Houston owners who think they have a diamond in the rough could be disappointed.

Who's stock is going to drop this year?

I agreed with the above statement, Rhodes will be starting until draft day, Indy should get a very good RB in the draft :banned:

:goodposting: There are a lot of guys out there that are going to have to have solid backups due to age. If the Jets and the PAts don't sign a first day RB I would be hugely surprised. I don't think either squad has a backup that can handle the load. Houston might be able to eventually, but I haven't seen enough of that guy yet to say definitively that he could do it....

I would also put Deshaun Foster in this boat of RB's that may not be assured of the starting job. He hasn't been the model of reliability at all and he didn't sign a HUGE contract. Fiscally, the Panthers could cut the guy next year if they had to and not be hurt that badly. I could see the Panthers grabbing a RB on day one. I doubt it's in the first round, but in the first 3 rounds I could see it.

Again, didn't seem to bother Thomas Jones when Chicago drafted Benson top 3, and the Colts have the 30th pick. I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts waited until Rd 2 to draft a RB.

It DID seem to bother Pittman/other TB RB's, when T.B. drafted Caddy, 80 percent of the time you DON'T draft a RB with your first round pick and set him on the bench. I think if Benson had gotten to camp on time, and learned the system things might of been different in Bear land.

I could see that too, but it depends on who falls to them at 30. If Carolina, Jax, NYJ, NE, etc all pass early on they could be looking at one of the studs at 30 and have to jump on him. All I got to say is I CANNOT wait for the 29th of next month....Thank GOD for March Madness right now. Gives me something else to focus on....

Well, 30th isn't top 3, and like I said, they may not take a RB until RD 2.

Who would the Jets draft and in what round?

Not their 1st round pick certainly. So in the 2nd they might look at Drew or Calhoun. I wouldn't be too worried if I was a Houston owner for two reasons.

1st he was cheap anyway so not a lot invested

2nd those guys might not be full time backs due to size so he will still get his touches and probably GL duty.

Maybe Drew . . . Little guy could fill a tall order for ColtsFormer UCLA back is campaigning hard for Indianapolis’ attention.Former UCLA running back Maurice Drew can’t do anything about his height. He’s not quite 5-foot-7 and he’s not growing anymore.

So he has to persuade NFL teams to get over it.

He’s convinced a team that overcomes its height bias could end up with the running back steal of the April 29-30 draft.

The Indianapolis Colts, in need of a running back with the departure of Edgerrin James, could be that team. In fact, the Colts were the team that spent the most time talking to Drew during the NFL Combine last month in Indianapolis.

“Coach (Tony) Dungy told me height doesn’t matter to them,” Drew said. “He told me he drafted Warrick Dunn (at Tampa Bay) in the first round; he likes to see ball players in his scheme. He doesn’t beat around the bush. He says if you can play, you can play.”

Drew is most often rated behind USC’s Reggie Bush and LenDale White, Memphis’ DeAngelo Williams, Minnesota’s Laurence Maroney and LSU’s Joseph Addai in mock drafts. Several draft analysts, including ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., have the Colts selecting Maroney with the No.30 pick in the first round.

Maroney (6-0, 217) and Addai (5-11, 214) are more traditionally sized players. But Drew and his agent, Adisa Bakari, are tireless in their efforts to prove Drew’s potential worth overshadows his height deficit. In fact, Bakari e-mailed me suggesting I interview Drew because of the mutual interest between Drew and the Colts. I don’t always bite on story suggestions, but Drew intrigues because the Colts need a running back and a return man and he thrives at both.

As the success of linebackers Gary Brackett and Cato June and defensive end Dwight Freeney attest, the Colts have a strong history of seeing future production in players who don’t necessarily fit the ideal size or pedigree requirements.

Drew said he felt good about his meeting with Dungy last month because they were able to connect outside the field. Both suffered through the death of close family members last season. Drew lost his grandfather, Dungy lost his son. It’s important to Dungy, and the Colts, to gauge their players’ personalities and team commitment. If you research stories on Drew over the past year, as I did, you’ll find universal praise of his character. In that respect, Drew and the Colts would be a good match.

“I’m a team player; I get along with everybody,” Drew said. “My work ethic – they like that and respect me as a player.”

The NFL, of course, comes down to the bottom line:

Can he produce?

Drew offers some clear selling points. He had the fastest 40-yard dash time of any running back who participated at the combine (4.39 seconds). He has a history of being able to play in a versatile offense, as evidenced by his 1,836 all-purpose yards last season. He averaged 26.7 yards per punt return last season and returned three for touchdowns, so breakaway speed is there.

“Maurice is the most versatile back in the draft, and that includes Reggie Bush,” Bakari said.

Over the course of their careers, Bush has the edge in total yards (rushing, receiving, returning) 6,551 to 4,688. His Heisman Trophy season dwarfed almost everyone else. But the two backs’ career numbers are very comparable. Bush was better in yards per carry (7.3 to 5.2) and yards per catch (13.6 to 12.7), but Drew was more productive in yards per punt return (23.1 to 12.7) and yards per kickoff return (24.5 to 22.7).

Bakari suggested that Bush benefited from a better offensive line and likened it to Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith. Both were great backs, but Sanders had to do more with less.

“Any team that drafts Maurice will get a dynamic back,” Bakari said. “He has an edge to him, and a chip on his shoulder that he’s had to prove naysayers wrong throughout his career.”

Drew says he’s driven by a desire to show he can outwork and outperform the prototype taller back. “It makes me work out that much harder,” Drew said. “I think about the guy who’s 6-2, 230, who works out every day. I’m always thinking that, when that guy’s workout is over, I’m going to go do something extra.”

Drew could be a good fit for the Colts. He’s durable. He’s versatile. His return skills are a bonus. The Colts need a running back, and if they could find a return man who’ll give Peyton Manning’s offense a start closer to their own 40-yard line than their 20, he’d be worth some money, too.

The Colts might not use a first-round pick on Drew. He might be more likely as a later-round steal. But there’s no question they’re sizing him up.

I could see several teams interested in RBs in the first. 12. Cleveland Browns – unlikely with Droughns performing well but Suggs and Green are from the previous regime.

15. Atlanta – D Williams would be a good fit as Dunn’s eventual replacement.

21. New England Patriots – Could start grooming a young RB as Dillion’s replacement

22. Denver Broncos – Do they change their MO and take a RB in the first?

27. Carolina Panthers –could take a top 4 RB here

28. Jacksonville Jaguars – ditto

30. Indianapolis Colts – ditto

31. New York Jets (trade with Seattle for Abraham?) – no top 3 QBs here – RB?

32. Pittsburgh Steelers - ditto

I think NFL teams have learnt that they can find good/solid RBs in the 2nd and 3rd round or thru FA. I think the rookie RBs will fall to the 2nd and 3rd round in the NFL draft. I just see NFL teams using the first round pick to fill other needs.

Personal I think the Texans, should trade the #1 pick and try to get more picks/players, they need it. DD is a solid RB.

I think Drew has the actual 'running' skills. But at less than 5'7", and running in a single back system which is what makes Indy such a dangerous passing team, but a system that demands the back pick up blitzes in a major way, there is absolutely NO WAY Indy would be looking at such a small guy to protect their golden boy. Theyve already got small backs on the team. They need a taller back with a little more size and leverage who wont get overpowered by backers and blitzing safeties. Im not saying the kid Drew doesnt have ANY power....just not the kind designed to protect $100million Quarterbacks. He'll be a nice back up on some other team. jmho.
 
RBs are a dime a dozen in the NFL. I think most guys on this MB look at the NFL draft as a FF owner. I think NFL teams have learnt that they can find good/solid RBs in the 2nd and 3rd round or thru FA. I think the rookie RBs will fall to the 2nd and 3rd round in the NFL draft. I just see NFL teams using the first round pick to fill other needs.

Personal I think the Texans, should trade the #1 pick and try to get more picks/players, they need it. DD is a solid RB.
Last year three of the top five picks were RBs, so while I agree that good RBs can be found later I could still see at least three go in the 1st this year.

They cant wait till round 2 if they want a RB.Cause there will be zero decent RB available when they pick in round 2 .

Calhoun is strictly a third down back who else could be there.

I agree that backs are generally over-rated in NFL terms in fantasy circles, but it seems pretty clear that at least two, very likely three, and quite possibly four will go in the 1st this year unless ALL of the mocks are completely off. Besides, even if most of these guys DO go in the 2nd round, the same questions apply. Where do they go and whose fantasy stats are they going to disrupt?I also disagree on DD, but that is probably for another thread.

 
15. Atlanta – D Williams would be a good fit as Dunn’s eventual replacement.
Agreed. I love what Dunn has brought to the Falcons, but he is now entering the final years of his contract which rise in base salary each year.
Falcons, RB Dunn Discussing A Restructured ContractAdam Schefter, NFL Network - [Full Article]The Atlanta Falcons and running back Warrick Dunn will meet in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine later this week to discuss the restructuring of Dunn's existing contract, which calls for a salary of $8.5 million during the 2006 season.
Anyone know how this went?
 
You got teams with starting RBs over 30. You got teams without a 20 carry back. You have teams with no real franchise back. You got teams with no good backup. Should be plenty of interest in the top rookies.

Starters over 30

NY Jets

New England

NY Giants

Atlanta

Jacksonville

That's 5 teams right there.

No 20 carry back

Minnesota

Pittsburg

Denver

Philly

That's 9 plus Indy is 10 teams already who could use a rookie stud. Add in Houston and you have 11 teams. You could even name a few more. You can argue between 3 and 6 rookie studs with the consensus at 4. So there are going to be a good half dozen teams still in need after the draft is over.

 
You also have to consider the quality of RB in the draft.

OK Bush should be 1 and start almost right away.

Lendale White should also be a starter i say Green Bay cant let him pass by

they have zero NFL Rb on the roster . ( i am not counting Green cause too injury prone and i think he is finished same for Gado coming off a injury plus has nt really proven a NFL starter.

Then Williams ( question mark injury prone and small )

I think The Eagles pick him .

Maroney ( very ordinary RB ) MAybe Indy but wont start right away will have to beat Rhodes , and he is nt talented enough to be sure he will beat Rhodes . Might have to wait 1 year before we see him start.

 
Packers will not draft RB at 5. No way no how with one of Williams, Hawk or Ferguson sitting there. In fact I like Davis over taking a RB in the other 3 are gone. Only way they get White is if they decide to trade down

I could see some trades up also ahead of Indy. No one wants to let them get one of the top 4 RB's in the draft. Pitt, Jets, Titans, Packers could make the move up at this point.

If the Eagles can add some WR depth via FA (Moulds or MeShawn), I sincerely hope they get a rb without past injury history to utilize as a bruiser to compliment westbrook.

Dude please start using the (" REPLY ) button at the bottom of the post you want to quote....I keep thinking your posting an opinion and then rebutting yourself.
 
Since the Titans resigned Henry, I don't think they take a RB in the early rounds. But if Brown doesn't stay healthy this year, look for them to make a move next year.

 
Packers will not draft RB at 5. No way no how with one of Williams, Hawk or Ferguson sitting there. In fact I like Davis over taking a RB in the other 3 are gone. Only way they get White is if they decide to trade down

I'm fairly confident in saying that most GMs are more worried about helping their own team rather than hurting someone else's team.

NOt if it is a need for your team as well and would fit. That is why no Texans, Saints moving up. ONly teams that could look at the RB. Ala Kevin Jones a few years back.

NFW...you present a senario where teams have "over 30" starters, but all have rookie/2nd yr backs on board"no 20 carry back"---maybe sux for us FF players, but all are OK w/the stable of RBBC they have

I'm not saying none of them would NOT take an RB this year, but I doubt any of these 9 sniff a RB in the first 2 rounds...

...leaving a decent RB for Indy, IF they go that way, which I doubt
