It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Bush isn't a true power back, for sure, but at where I think we could get him (early day two) he's still a guy I like.Everybody's favorite, Casale, said that Bush reminds him of Ron Dayne, FWIW.
Let's just say that the Patriots are going to draft a runningback at some point (not saying they will). Who do you want?
My first choice would be Tony Hunt, then Lorenzo Booker, then Brian Leonard.
Add Brandon Jackson to the list and I'm cool.It's tricky because Booker is a whole different animal from the others. But I'll say Leonard, Booker, Hunt and Bush would all look good on this team.
I had thought Bush in the 3rd or Mike Wright in the 5/6th.
Both are pretty powerful and have a different style than Maroney, much more Dillon like. Hadn't heard the comparison to Dayne, but I don't really understand why he busted so fast.
Guys like Irons seem too small, he's only 202 pounds or something.
Maroney and Sammy are roughly the same listed weight. I'd feel better about Maroney's power running if he did more of it. Lots to love about the kid, but pounding for an extra yard has not been one of his strong points to date.Michael Bush (I've always liked him, but the second surgery worried me some. If the drafted him I'd be all for it.)
Lorenzo Booker
Brandon Jackson
Dwayne Wright
I'd also give some late round consideration to DeShawn Wynn
Also, people should remember Sammy Morris is 220lbs, so he's not to small, and I think Maroney runs with more power than some on here seem to think.
Chris Henry out of Arizona State. Absolutely love his work ethic and I think he is going to be a good contributor to any team that drafts him. What a great interview with him I heard this afternoon. Seems to be have a good head on his shoulders not to mention he has some good size at 6'2 230 pounds. I guess one of the knocks on him is he plays passive,but I've heard that before. I'd take a wager on him in the 4th or 5th.
his size and athletic ability is off the charts, but frankly he didn't do much in college. I don't mean that he didn't get many carries, because I that can be a good thing. What I am talking about is that he didn't do all that much with the carries he did get.
