Mungro is the only FB listed on the roster.

Yeah, and that team makes FB's look obsolete more than any other. They line up 3 wide and two TE's a lot, or possably always.

If they need a lead blocker, they motion one of the TE's into the backfield.

MONGROL is a RB not a FB

I don't think Cedric Houston will be around on day 2, but if he is Dallas should take a look at him. I like Sproles in the 4th round.

Bobo · 03-22-2005

Houston is a very good runner, but he may drop. He was injury prone (but nothing major like knees, shoulders, hammies, etc) and never carried the full load. His Pro Day was not very good, but he may better that on his 2nd PD. I've watched him run for 3 years, and I really think he has 1st day talent, but the question marks may push him to round 4-5.

I have watched Houston play a lot and I really like him. I think he is underrated and will be a bargain for somebody.

From the GBN site.

With a first name like that, he should be playing his football in Texas.....

Did a little research on Colletti, here's what I found:

In 3 years at Nicholls State, he has gained 1517 yards, on 273 carries, for 20 TDs... that's a 5.5 YPC average, which is pretty good... however, you do have to factor in the level of competition he's faced...

One down note-- in his last 3 years in college, he caught all of one pass total... for 1 yards... this leads me to wonder if he'd be a good fit in the Cowboys' system...
