Non-1st Round RBs

[Saratoga Slim]

It sounds pretty certain that we're going to nab at a RB at some point in the draft. We've talked the hell out of Lynch and Peterson, but there's a very good chance that Peterson doesn't fall and we pass on Lynch.

Assuming that happens, what're everybody's preferences for non-1st round RBs?

I'd like to see us grab either Michael Bush, Kenny Irons or Antonio Pittman, in that order.

nfl.com has extroardinarily detailed prospect reports on each, if anyone hasn't been there already. I like their profiles much better than a lot of the other free draft sites. From what they have to say, Kenny Irons sounds a lot like Travis Henry.

Re: Non-1st Round RBs

I still think Brian Leonard can be a starting RB in the league and not only this he has the versatility to also be on the field when we require a H Back or a Full Back. He'd be an absolute steal in the 2nd

So do I.. Apparently nobody else does though.

I had him going to Buffalo in round three of my initial mock draft
1) Okoye
2) Rufus Alexander
3) Walker

Re: Non-1st Round RBs

maybe im wrong.. I look at Walker and see a lot of former ND back, Ricky Watters.

Louisville's pro day is in the last week of March (26th)

Re: Non-1st Round RBs

Well
Kenny Irons, Antonio Pittman, Tony Hunt,Michael Bush and Darius Walker are the next wave of RB's ..

Out of them, Its either Irons or Walker for me. Bush scares me too much, at least right now anyway

[Kenny]

Re: Non-1st Round RBs

I'd like to give Irons a try if he's still there with our second 3rd..

I wont go into a long rant, -but I just dont like Bush (and it has nothing to do with that broken leg).

How do you see Watters from Walker? Watters had speed, heart and determination. Walker has power and thats about it. He'd be a waste of a draft pick.

Chris Henry, Eldra Buckley are two Day 2 guys who we should look at

w/ his combine numbers Henry may go in R3.

Just out of curiosity, what was Jerious Norwood's college production numbers? (wondering if he's a good comparison... or not)

Re: Non-1st Round RBs

What are the chances that Chris Henry is the next Terrell Davis?

Is there any comparison between the two other than they had mediocre/poor college careers?
