he laughed in the 4th post where someone said "he's a better pickup from Foster".

Which doesn't mean I actually think Foster is going to do shite, but at least he hasn't spiraled into drunkeness since he had to leave early because he was going to sit behind a younger guy.

how many great RBs come from the big10?

there is, what, 1 guy tearing it up right now (barber)? barber wasn't even top 20 in yards last year


Using current pro results to justify not drafting current college players is not a good plan of action. If NFL teams had stuck to that then there wouldn't be any of those CUSA guys in the league.

The SEC had 0 of the top 15 rushers last year, and like 3 in the top 30(one of which was LeRon Fullback Mclain) So should NFL teams not draft any SEC backs next year?

man when your conference is that devoid of quality runners, it starts a legit pattern

before barber there was larry johnson, and before johnson there was...

i mean we're talking like a 10-year sample. how many big10 runners have become great? how many times where there 2 big10 runners doing well at the same time?

Hill could probably make the team for what they need him for. He'll obviously never be a guy to get 20 carries a game but in short yardage situations I think he could do ok.

yeah, Jacobs is a freak, no comparison, but I like them pickin up Hill and Donaldson, their almost identical in size 5'10" 222 lbs., and both ran for a lot of yards in college, that is something you can't take lightly, they both remind me of Stewart with Carolina, hopefully they can be as productive.

I like big backs and I cannot lie! I think the dude will take Mike Bell's spot at the #3. (if he can block)

What??? Stewart was a first round pick and an exceptional athlete. He will lay the wood, but comparing him to Hill and Donaldson is a bit out there.

your a bit out there, they run just as hard as Stewart is what I'm sayin and there similar in size to him, similarities end there cause there not as fast, I know Stewart was a first rounder, why do people always take and misconstrue what you are sayin as if these guys can't lay the wood, have you frickin seen them run, probably not.

Really good runner at Wis. Actually got smaller as he got older. He dropped out of the draft after is second DUI. I liked him alot in college, especially early when he was 230-240.
