I would take a flyer on him in the second or third if we lose Julius (and we will)...
theogt;1787382 said:I've been driving the TC bandwagon for a while now. I think we'll have to spend more than a 2nd or 3rd on him, though. He'll be gone by our 2nd round pick.
I'd be ecstatic if he did. I have him rated as the 2nd best back in this draft.trickblue;1787385 said:You don't think he will be there at 63?
(Remember the Pats lost a pick)...
I had also mentioned him early in the year... the kid is a very hard worker and has great talent and instincts...
I also think Felix Jones could be a player and he has the Arkansas connection...

McFadden is great, but i still think that keeping the two 1st round picks for a corner, a receiver, or a running back in the first round would be good. It will only add to the team we have now!

Can you believe he's rushed 82 times for 446 yards in 3 games since having knee surgery in October? Unreal.
He's a more complete back than Felix and Slaton. He has better cutting ability than both and better vision.dbair1967;1787415 said:I dont think he's anywhere near the 2nd best back, but he is a good back...he'll probably be a 1st day pick
he is not as gifted as McFadden, Felix Jones, Slaton or some others though

I like his speed, but he just has that scat-back look about him.
I think Jonathon Stewart is the second best back if he comes out.
His size scares me. He could balloon up to 240-250 in a heart beat. How many successful 250 lb. running backs are there?Bizwah;1787429 said:I'm not sold at all on Felix Jones.

It doesn't provide much comfort to know that 235 is on the low end of what he could weigh.Bizwah;1787440 said:Have you seen pictures of the guy?
Not an ounce of fat on him.

It's a judgment call. But when you have 2 backs of equivalent production/speed/cutting ability/balance/vision/power, I'd go with the one that has a slightly less risk in terms of physical development.Bizwah;1787444 said:He's a physical speciman.
It is a worry....It would be with a lot of bigger backs.
But when a guy is all muscle, then it makes me relax a bit.

He's had a good year.
