Default Favorite Round 2 Running Back
If CB and WR are addressed in round 2 and McFadden, Mendenhall, and Stewart are all off the board by pick #61, which one of the following would you select assuming all were available(and you had to go RB):

Chris Johnson, East Carolina
Felix Jones, Arkansas
Jamaal Charles, Texas
Kevin Smith, Central Florida
Ray Rice, Rutgers
Steve Slaton, West Virginia
Matt Forte, Tulane
Other (who?)

I'd take Charles because I think he's got the speed, wiggle, power and durability...the fumbling can be corrected.

I could be happy with any of Rice, Jones, Charles, or Johnson.

I could be happy with Slaton, Forte or Smith if it was round 3.

Ditto.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

I agree with Hostile--I'd try Slaton in round 6 is available.

Rice, Choice, and Forte are the only ones I like at our 2nd round pick. But Rice won't be available.

That's pretty much spot on. Prefer Rice above the others though.

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone is so enamored with Charles for? One decent year. I guess we have a lot of UT fans here. Slaton is way better than this dude.

Forgot about Choice...he will go in Rd 4 or 5
Rice will be there in Rd 2.
Forte is a wildcard depending on the team drafting. The kid can play, but I'm thinking Rd3.

Slaton is so soft and stays hurt.. His stock dropped off in a big way. Even WVU fans were down on him...

When you start off a post like that, no you're not wondering, you're instigating.
