I like Wells a lot more than Moreno.

interesting to see nfldraftcountdown.com having Moreno going 21st to Philly and Wells going 31st to Cardinals.

nfl mock draft

everyone is worried about his health. Most runningbacks have a shelf life of about 4 years anyway so i'm sure most GM's don't want to draft one who is already damaged goods

I think everyone agrees with this but Wells is a higher liability

I wouldn't be surprised if Moreno ends up being a much better NFL player longterm. Its mostly a health thing.

My Opinion

Advantage

Speed: Wells
Durability: Moreno
Agility: Moreno
Power: Wells
Vision: Neutral

I think it's close; but one is better than the other based on a team's individual needs. I can't wait for the draft.

If Moreno had Ohio State's OL, this thread wouldn't exist.

Right... one of the worst starting D1 RTs in the game, and then an overrated d-bag played LT.

oh sorry you seem to forget how people criticize how much uga's OL sucks so bad. they probably both suck.

You guys don't think Moreno is an injury risk as well. Seems like undersized guys like him that try to be power runners in the pros end up getting hurt quite often i.e. Cadillac Williams, Joseph Addai, and to some extent Marion Barber.

Yeah it doesn't matter... it may likely come down to health as what determines who is the better NFL back.
