No good RBs in 2011 draft...again?

Champ posted what i was going to say, but i also agree with NAHSTE's point. i personally wouldnt draft a HB until the third round or so unless Barry Sanders or Walter Payton are entering the draft sometime soon.

Roy Helu Jr. is going to be a really good player for an NFL team. He's sort of like Joseph Addai. Little faster, and a great all-around back. He shares Addai's injury tendency, but as long as he's healthy, he's fucking excellent.

 

[NAHSTE]

Sanders is old, and Payton is a corpse, so you might want to reshuffle that draft board, Matt Millen.

I'm glad you mentioned Addai's injury tendancy. But you forgot to mention Addai's averageness at everything outside of pass catching.

CJ Spiller is a bust after once season? I mean, maybe if the Bills O-Line could it's ground, but still to early to say that Spiller is a bust.

Arguably the best blocking back in the league

Elite receiving Runningback

Average from a "Rushing" standpoint but everyone knows Indianapolis arguably has one of the worst starting offensive lines in football. it would be VERY interesting to see what Addai could do if he wasn't having to elude defenders 3 yards deep in the backfield on 85% of his carries.

Polian needs to re-sign the guy because Donald Brown doesn't look like he's going to be the next Edgerrin James.

Javarris James will be good

So Goblin. You wouldn't take Gale Sayers in the first round of the draft?

As a Bills fan, we have a need for a physical RB seeing how Spiller and Jackson are more outside runners. I really have my eye on Daniel Thomas from Kansas State somewhere in the middle of the draft

 

[SuperKevin]

In my opinion, you really shouldn't take running backs and wide recievers in the first round because their success is too dependent on other players on the field. Once you've solidified your offensive line and quarterbacks then these skill position players should be taken.

:lolwut:

Let's totally ignore that he is one of the best pass-blocking backs in the league (and that Peyton basically hand picked him coming out of college for that very reason) or that when healthy, he's been very productive behind a crappy o-line.

Did you not watch the first half of the Super Bowl last year (you know, the only half where Addai got to touch the ball and was the best player on the Colts offense)?

well in college nowadays, you don't have those built RB's who can run fast, and take the workload anymore.

Either those guys split carries, aren't super fast, or just are injury prone.

You can get a RB who can fit into your system at ANYTIME it seems...

Look at Blount...had school trouble, flamed out, caught on with the Bucs, and they may have a RB who can shoulder the load for them.

The Jets had McKnight, who may see a bigger role...and he was drafted in the 4th round...speedy, can catch...just worried about his in-between the tackles...he had the skills to be good so we'll see.

Besides the fact that McKnight fumbles about every 10 carries.

If you don't think there are teams in the NFL that are in dire need of a running back you just haven't thought enough about each team. Redskins, Seahawks, and Lions all come to mind as teams with sub-par running backs. I can guarantee you each of those teams want better RBs in a bad way.
