Lorenzo Booker by a mile...End of story

How do you figure that? Lynch and Peterson are every down backs. Booker is never going to carry a full load. Booker would be a great compliment to a guy who carries most the load. 188 lbs is way to small to be an every down back. That kinda negates him from this argument. Im gonna go with brandon Jackson.

Talent wise,my choice is Booker - Where do you see in this thread where it says FULL TIME MAIN RB? - It says BEST RB after the top two - As far as talent goes,In my opinion Booker is #3

With the possible exception of Bush there are no other full time RBs. All the others are part time backs. Lorenzo is the best of these, IMHO.

Antonio Pittman followed by Kenny Irons

Jackson...................

It depends on what you are looking for, but if the question is just most talented it's:
Lorenzo Booker
Brandon Jackson

Jackson...................

And Leonard, Hunt, maybe Bush depending on his receiving and blocking.

Yep, you are correct. Forgot about Leonard! There are fare more "every" down back's then Peterson and Lynch

 

[drpatriot]

Kenny Irons, Michael Bush, Chris Henry out of Arizona is my favorite dark horse pick though.

The First Tier- Peterson, Lynch

The Second Tier- Leonard, Hunt, Bush, Pittman

The Third Tier- Booker, Jackson, Irons, K. Smith


Most potential- Chris Henry
Least potential- Tony Hunt

 

[old 55]

How far down would you put Leonard? I haven't focused on the players at this point, but I have seen a lot of posts hyping Leonard.

The Third Tier- Booker, Jackson, Irons, K. Smith

chris henry has most potential because he averages 2-3 ypc in college career? no. Most potential is Booker by far..if he bulks up he can be Marshall Faulk type of player..great speed..great agility and he has vision unlike Henry

Agreed, Booker could be very good.

You overrate him, the guy's been splitting carries his whole career for a reason. Henry has the most potential because he has a rare size/speed/strenght ratio.

wow he has the combo. ! Michael Bennett had 4.2 speed and howd he end up?

A lot of people have good workouts but amount to nothing. its like finding an athletic guy who will test well but sucks at football and has no running vision at all

if you cant use your talent..you aint worth it.

hes a 5th-6th rounder but potential doesnt just come from measurables

i dont overrated Booker. He was i believe the best back out of HS when he went to FSU..but they dont know how to use him properly. Leon Washington played well for Jets but this kids better. why do you FSU has sucked badly last few years and offensivly they've done nothing.

Bennet isn't 230 pounds.

So what if he was the best back out of HS? That means jack squat, Reggie Bush wasn't even in the top 50 rb's coming out of high school and look how he turned out.

While answering the question, let's not overlook the big picture: Zippo raises this question for a very good reason! I agree that RB is one of our top five positions of need in this draft.
