Slaton is not a true NFL RB. He's a 3rd down back, that's going to be great at catching screen passes and lining up in the slot on 3rd downs. He doesn't have a RB's body. At most he can carry it 5-8 times a game. When draft time comes around, he's going to drop like a rock into the late portion of rd1. If we lose JJ, then we need a true NFL RB that can share the load with MBIII, since MBII may not last a full season carrying the ball 20+ times/game with his aggressive running style. The RB we should get is Ray Rice. He's the closest thing to Emmitt I've seen come out of college since Emmitt. He has vision, instincts, durability, toughness, cutting ability, and burst through the whole. This may be a repeat of what happened when Emmitt came out, and Blair Thomas was the #1 ranked RB. I'm by no means comparing DMack to Blair, but you don't always have to sell the house to get a great player. Sometimes that 2nd ranked RB has the better career. JMHO.
