I actually don't love as many as the RB's as most. I see a decent amount of specialty/role player, but not a ton of guys who I see as possible future starters.

Dixon
J Howard
Perkins
Booker
Collins
Lasco
J Williams
Darius Jackson
Marshaun Coprich


IMO, last years draft was a good RB draft, but this years is even stronger from around the mid 3rd round on down to the 7th.

Needs to be Jakeem Grant.........use that speed.

Maybe but I'm afraid he wouldn't be durable enough just like Dunbar. He has to be able to run between the tackles and block some. I just think that's the type of RB they are looking at if they pass on Elliot. Flashback Preston Pearson.

Expect a later round pick, but there are some really good backs to be had in rounds 2 - 5, excluding Elliot an Henry. I would take Procise before Henry and even a couple of others. Wouldn't be upset with Elliot but I would concentrate on a Dunbar clone with better durability.

Keith Marshall, work a deal to get a 5th round pick back and use it on him. That way the 1st 4 rounds can be all used on defense/wr/qb. Wait til next year to get a top flight rb from a better class if he doesn't pan out. Marshall is still likely in the picture as change of pace/3rd down back.

Prosise otherwise, still a bit skeptical about his fumbling.

A lot of people see him in the 6th or 7th, I would love us to take a shot.....Terrell Davis was a 6th rounder out of Georgia I believe due to injury concerns. Marshall is bigger than Davis and faster. Worth a flyer for sure especially if we don't grab another back early.

Give me Dixon, Marshall Faulk 2.0. Might be the best looking receiving back I've seen in years.

But a name to remember, Deondre Washington, Texas Tech. Can do it all as well, run, pass protect, and a fantastic reciever.
