West Philly Patriot

It's currently the 3rd quarter of the Texas Bowl he has 18 carries 118 yds 2TD 6.5ypc

Most of you are familar with this guy but for those of you that are not he is 6-1 230lbs. Seems to be the measureables everyone is thinking about at RB faster than BJGE bigger and stronger than woodhead.

Having that said, What is the earliest you can see us looking at a RB? If this guy slips to the 2nd or later I want him. I think we should trade up with our 3 assuming the lines has been taken care of by this point. I think he is the total package.

230 pounds but he runs too much like Maroney for my liking. I do want 1-2 young RB to replace Morris and Taylor but I'm not sure this guy is the one I want, especially in the second round.

I admit he's been impressive tonight. DraftTek already had him going at #18 before this performance.

I'd consider him an option at 32 or 33. I think Bill will look more around 64 or 77 (highest possible for Vikes pick) for an HB though.

I have the same impression -- I don't think field vision is his strong suit. Bilal Powell is growing on me in comparison. Has a lot of the same strengths, but I like the way he follows blocks, etc.

1st round is def too rich for my blood. I also noticed the field vision concerns at times, but he doesnt remind me of maroney.
Bilal powell seems to lack the burst i think we will be looking for even in a bigger back.

Even still I doubt Powell will be on the board either when the pats start thinking RB. I watched some footage again he def seems tougher to bring down than leshoure even though leshoure is 15 lbs heavier I don't know why.

O well back to my realistic binky @ RB delone carter from syracuse

I like Leshoure a lot. Him and the kid from Cal, Shane Vereen.

I would be happy to take either one in the 2nd, great value. But the fact that there are two of them means I think we can wait into the mid-2nd round to pull the trigger on either one of them.

Given their youth. RB might be one of the strongest positions on our team. We have 2 good players under 25. One who has 1000yrds, dbl digit td's and doesn't fumble. Why can't we get guys like that? No need to replace him. And, we've got the perfect 3rd down back. Danny Woodhead. He's not a cute story any more. The kid can play. I'd like to bring a young backup in to replace Fred Taylor. Not with a 1st or 2nd round pick. And, certainly don't want to trade up using multiple picks on someone to fill that role.3b or 4th round is about the slot to use on that position. I'm fine with Sammy Morris too. If you want to pick a fb in 6th or 7th round fine. But, he probably isn't as good as Sammy.
