Where will Rashard Mendenhall go in the draft?

40 Yard Dash 4.45
20 Yard Shuttle 4.18
Bench Press 26
Vertical jump 33.5

I did not see him play this year. He seems to have a thicker lower body than RDMC. From anyone who has watched him, I would like your thoughts.
Thanks

So he is not just a "workout wonder" type guy? Who is better? RDMC or Mendenhall? Why?

I would never trade up for him...RB's drop in the draft...almost always.

All 3 of the top RB's won't be gone before #22, imo.

However, I still think we'll be looking at CB's and WR's.

I think he should go to the Bears, but maybe they are gun shy on rb's after firing blanks on Cedric Benson. Ultimately though I think it will be the Texans at #18 and Houston will be a better team for it.

I think Mendenhall is the better, all round, back prospect. DMac is probably the better "wow" factor RB, but I think Mendenhall is the better back.

I like his shuttle time, means he has good agility, I was leery of him because Drew Boylhart said that he was a straight-line guy

now I'm starting to think about him in the 1st, this class is loaded w/ RBs

Hey BDC, Hope all is well. I really like this guy. By the way, not to go off on a tangent, but why the hate for Talib. I watched him almost every game and the kid seems to be a player. I know he gave up a couple of highlight catches, but everyone does. he seems to play with good technique.

isn't cadillac done now?


He's on very shaky ground from what I've heard. They definitely need to address the RB position with the Caddy's questionable return.

maybe not - who was the dude who came out of nowhere to make bennett stay seated? my guess is they'd give him another chance.

i see tampa in qb need if some is there.

Ernest Graham? He has 215 yards rushing in 3 years prior to 2007. Not sure he's an outstanding gamble as the load carrier. They don't have to draft a RB round 1, but round two would behoove them IMO.
