    After watching the sugarbowl...

    I realized, hypothetically, I wouldn't mind seeing Darius Walker get drafted by Buffalo to share time with A-train until he's ready. He reminds me of a Willie Parker He's always been the underrated player in their offense. Walker was really the only Irish player to show up. Wishful thinking.

    I wouldn't mind drafting him, or a quick and speedy RB like him, to share time with Willis. I like the two-back rotation that a lot of teams are using, i.e New England, New Orleans, Jax, etc. I guess Walker and A-Train would work too. But I still see A-Train as more of a backup than a 20-snap a game back at this point.
    Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

      Did I miss something? I'm pretty sure McGahee is still the starting RB in Buffalo.

        I don't think Walker will make it very far in the NFL, if he makes it at all.

          yeah but we've reached a point where we need to discuss whether or not he should be. The guy had two bad years in a row, and it's not entirely the OL's fault.

            Unless he declared he has one more season at ND.

                  Why not? If he declares, which I hope he does, he will be one of the fastest backs to come out. In the nfl speed is valuable.

                    Darius Walker won't do anything in the NFL. I cannot see him declaring for the draft, he wouldn't be in the top 10 backs available.

                    BTW:

                    Walker - 40 time - 4.50
                    McGahee - 40 time - 4.24

                      that time for mcgahee was pre-knee injury.
                      My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

                      MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

                        it is, but NFL RB's also need to be able to move the pile. He's too small to do that- he's a "scat back" like Shaud Williams.

                        Don't get me wrong- I think the guy is one of ND's unsung heroes of 2006. I like what he's done for the Irish. I just don't think he's NFL material.

                          I think Darius Walker probably has more speed than Shaud Williams, the Bills back whose role probably is the closest fit for Walker. He doesn't look to me like he's sturdy enough to hold up as an every down back. He has more of a WR's body.
                          I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                          I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                            I just looked him up on the official Notre Dame site, and he's a little bigger than I thought, 5' 10" and 208 lbs. That's a little smaller than is ideal. I still see him more as a role player which would make him a low round pick in my thinking.

                              Walker is near 4.40 and if that's how fast mcgahee is, I haven't seen that speed.
