I'm pretty astounded by some these comments here. One dude even says he should below the 5th round? That statement alone shoud him on football knowledge probation for a week (if we are kind).
Pretty much every professional assessment of CJ says he has much more to offer than just a vertical threat. I even read a post that said the guy was one deminsional. What!? His versatilty is considered one of his most lucrative traits. I also disagree that he does not have moves....but guys running at that speed rarely turn on a dime. I guess it's hard to compare becasue, well, there is nobody that has that speed at RB in the NFL.
Having said all that, I still have concerns that only time will answer. And for one, would not use my 1st round slot on CJ. CJ's durabilty may be an issue. I know they said that about A Peterson, but they are different beasts. And by the way, I see NO comparison with him and Ryan Grant...good grief. Maybe I take CJ at the end of round 2, but most certainly by the end of round 3. He or maybe Jamaal Charles seem like they would blend well with MB3.
If I had to compare CJ to another back right now, it would be Willie Parker. I think Parker is great but would be better off with a running mate at Pittsburgh.
Bottom line is that ALL RBs have questions and are a risk, CJ is certainly included.
