Jesus, I never realized how big Irons' strides were. Honestly, I like the guy as a prospect but I want to see him put on 15-20 lbs. of muscle. His strides and Auburn's great OL over the past 2 years are my 2 main knocks on the guy. A lot of guys on the site say that he's Leon v2.0, but I disagree. Irons has the frame to put on and keep that extra weight without it hrting his game. However, I'm still not sure if he was just a product of that offensive line or not. By the way, I just thought I'd throw in that Marshawn Lynch is a beast. It's disappointing that he'll be long gone by the time we pick. EDIT: Leonard loves that damn leap too. It's incredible to watch, but I doubt he'd be able to pull that off in the pros. I'd still love to get him in the third.
i agree kenny is nothing like leon. tw complete diffrent styles. Antonio pittman highlight film is impressive. he makes his cuts so fast.
Pittman looks like he could end up turning into a Curtis type runner in the pros; may not break the big one often but will fight like hell for those 4 yards. Very elusive as well.
Pittman is a Jets type runner. I think he would fit well with this team. He is elusive, powerful, and a hard worker. His cuts are very smooth, and he can plow over a lot of people (which is impressive for his frame), and has always trained to the fullest of his ability.. He will be a steal in the later rounds, and is truely underrated.
I voted "Other" because I think I would prefer Bush. If I had to go with the list I'd say Irons, but in truth I'd much prefer we go defense and o-line early.
Whomever we can get with a second round pick. Ideally that would be a slipper from the first round prospects.
Why do people like Bush so much? Tall, heavy RBs who choose to run like scat backs (without that kind of quickness) doesn't sound very enticing.
michael bush, though i wouldn't mind pittman and for the 100th time, get off brian leonards nuts, i hate how overrated this guy is
Lynch, obviously, but there is next to no chance he drops to us. On the off chance he does, I doubt we take him ANYWAYS based on the simple fact we have more pressing needs at the moment. Lynch is a great player and had Cal not had such uncertainty at the QB position, he would have been alot better. We have a solid QB in Chad, no matter what they say. We have a serviceable line, which IMO is a much more pressing need. However, Lynch is fast enough where he could make do until we upgrade the line.
From the limited amount of games and tape I've seen , Hunt is the only one who seems complete to me. He does it all blocks , catches and can run. The only downside to him is that he does not excel at any of those , but with NFL coaching I think he could be a steal.
