Running back prospects

Just had a look around You Tube for some footage of some of the mid rounds prospects we might have a shot at.

My apologies for any I've forgotten that you like. Feel free to post vids of any I've missed.

You might want to turn the volume down cause some of the music accompanying these vids is appalling.

I like both of them but the reason I didn't put them on my list is cause i could see them going in the 1st along with Wells and Moreno. I think the chance we take a RB in the first round is slim. I wouldn't complain if we did though can you imagine Gore and Moreno!!!

I'd definately pick up Donald Brown if he slipped to us in the 2nd he looks awsome.

TBH though my ideal pick would be Shonn Greene in the 3rd, or even trade up to late 2nd to grab him. I think he fits Singletary's vision of a smash mouth style of running game.

I definitely think LeSean has a good chance of being there... he's just not what we've expressed interest in a "big back"

Donald in the 2nd to me is better than Moreno in the first... but I wouldn't be mad at Moreno in the first...

[Nelson]

My first choice would be Rashad Jennings cuz of his combination of strength and speed, my second choice would be Javon Ringer cuz he can catch also

I think we've got a real good chance to get some proper impact player at running back regardless of what round we take them in. I like the 2 you pointed out, TBH i'd be happy with any on the list I think they all bring something different to the table.

Did you look at the Marlon Lucky vid? I haven't seen any of him in a full game but that highlight real is impressive!

[mascott]

i'd like coffee as a short yardage back

I'm not sold Ringer brings any quality carries to the NFL... not fast enough or big enough...

Jennings I really like... but I think he's gone between our 2nd and 3rd pick... he's a reach in the 2nd to me...

Rashad Jennings has the size we need I am just not sold on his toughness. He tends to run high and does not seem to look for contact.

I still like Frank Summers out of UNLV in the 7th round for what we would use him for. Short yardage, back up FB and Special teams. Value at every turn.

Good job for knowing about Keegan Herring. He is a well built, compact RB with some speed and elusiveness.

I think Andre Brown has the most potential in the draft RB so that tells you what I think about him. I would take him in the second if there aren't better options. I also like Donald Brown but he doesn't necessarily fill that need of the big back we are looking for. As far as those go, I like Arian Foster as a 5th rounder or so.

[9erfanfromday1]

Shun White is a stud, but he will not be in the NFL until he serves his 5 years I do believe.

[Nelson]

What did he do?

He's in the Navy dude. I can here a song in my ear...............

[Leeding49er]

Yea, I wasn't sure about his eligibility.

Well, that's a decent reason. Any chance he'll get early release to play in the NFL?

[9erfanfromday1]

What did he do?

Yeah, hes a Naval Academy grad.......he's not doing time in the slammer......just time in the Navy......LOL.

[Twolf75]

I think he's a mid 2nd rounder who might slip to very early 3rd. If we dont take him with our second but we do want him the safe option would be to trade up to get him. I think Greene would fit perfect if Singltary's vision of a smash mouth, pound away running attack I think he's after.

-Rashad Jennings Rd #2
-Jorvorski Lane RB/FB Rd #5

After these moves the power running game is MUCH better.

Lane is not draftable

Jennings I really like... but I think he's gone between our 2nd and 3rd pick... he's a reach in the 2nd to me...
Keep in mind that Ringer was playing on a bad knee for a significant portion of last season, and he was still recovering from surgery at the combine, explaining his poor showing. He's still not 100%, but he was able to run a 4.42 40 at his pro day, and had a 6.68 3-cone drill, a 3.72 in the 20-yard shuttle, and a 10.6 in the 60-yard shuttle. Pretty darn good.

1)McCoy
2)Brown
3)Greene

I say no to Lucky, especially as a Nebraska fan. He was a big time recruit, but did NOTHING but fall over on first contact and run into offensive lineman. He was handed the starter position as a freshman, and gave up the spot rather quickly. His Junior year, he split carries with a 3 guys, one that in 08 became an OLB. 08, his senior year, a sophomore ran WAY better than Lucky. Lucky is a value as a third down back however, I think he led the team in receptions. But he won't be a 1-2 punch with Gore.

[sanfranfan22]

I don't see Ian Johnson of Boise State on anyone's list. May not get drafted, may go very late, but he ran a good 40 at the combine and runs with power. I was never so impressed with him until I watched him in person. He bounces off a lot of would be tacklers. Would be really good on special teams as well.

[MR. WEBBER]

as you can see i love the greene pick. watching all his games this year, ive seen him run over and around defenders. he would be the perfect compliment to gore. he can get those short yards when needed, and has no problem finding the endzone.

in one game, one of his td's came when he ran a guy over, and then on the next series, the same guy came up and greene put a great move on him and scored again. im praying we some how end up with him on our team.
