Well we moved a little quick there because we had a pretty good idea of what was available there. we'll slow down now that other positions are being considered and the picks become a little more difficult. Our poll has matched that of Jeters and I think at this point is where the risers and the fallers are going to become apparent.

I like K. Smith in non-ppr leagues for sure. He has the best opportunity to be a feature back. Well Chris Johnson is tempting as well as Jamaal Charles, I don't see the feature back style upside. At best Johnson will be a Reggie Bush style player which may be beneficial in PPR leagues. I like Charles prior to the combine, but Smith's 40 time won me over cause he does have what it takes to break some long runs. I thought he was going to be much slower

I don't really know who is 1.6 and I think there will be a lot of variation, but one thing is clear now and that is that people sitting at 1.06 have more options than we thought before. They can still take the best WR (Hardy, Kelly, or Jackson) or Qb, OR they can take a RB. This RB class is at least six, maybe seven deep, as I think that both Forte and Johnson are capable of being very productive NFl backs.

Tons of variation and we will have to re-rank after the draft. On talent alone, I might take CJ.

speed = talent ?

My pleasure.RB is a position that it matters less where you produce, ie. size of school, and more important if you did and have athletic ability to play at the next level. Let's take Chris Henry, combine wonder last season. He did not do much in school at Arizona, therefore, he was drafted in the 3rd round for a lot of what he did at the combine. With that said, did Kevin Smith produce? Of course he did. I just don't see him with the potential to make as big of an impact at the next level.

So to answer your question, no, speed does not equal talent.
