Favorite Round 2 Running Back

[gollum]

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.

 

[Hostile]

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.

/signed.

Ditto.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

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

 

[theogt]

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

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Johnson Charles and Slaton. Then later on in the Draft i also like Alridge

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.

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

 

[Mansta54]

Rice!!!

 

[Aven8]

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.

ditto for Rd2
Forte and Smith in Rd3
Slaton or maybe C washington in Rd 5

 

[DFWJC]

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

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.

Bigger - Check
Faster - Check
Smarter - Just kidding

I've watched a ton of WVU football, and I like Slaton, but he doesn't project nearly as well to the NFL as Charles. Slaton is a late third, early fourth rounder at best IMO.

 

[diehard2294]

Rice/Charles/Johnson in order

 

[Aven8]

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

So we get him in the 3rd or 4th round. And, WVU fans are down on everybody right now, except OU!

I can see Slaton in the slot catching quick slants, and spreading him out. Remember people we have a fully capable starter in MBIII. We need receivers, db's, and more pass rushers!

 

[AsthmaField]

I'd be fine with R. Rice, K. Smith, C. Johnson or F. Jones in round 2.

We might would have to move up into the first half of round 2 in order to get the one we really want, and I'd be fine with that.

 

[DR.WARE]

i would be happy with all of them except felix and slaton
