Running Back Prospects

Exactly. He doesn't run like a 6-3 250 pound back should. Thank you.

 

Brian Leonard just ran a 4.49 40, similar time as Kenny Irons. Just throwing that out there.

 

The best avaiable pick when we draft in the second round will be Brian Leonard. The two best RBs will be gone before we pick at #25 so why not waite and get Brian in the second round?

 

exactly, i have a very strong feeling leonard might be a jet.

 

When are all these guys projected to go? This is the first time I've seen this Leonard guy and I am impressed. I'd definitely be happy with him in the 2nd or 3rd. I like Marshawn Lynch the best, but like others have said he'll be gone too soon.

 

Marshawn Lynch isn't projected to go in the first round?

 

Wow, impressive. NFL draft countdown had him listed as 4.65 previously. Lynch won't be there at any of our picks, but I'd be happy if we pick up either Pittman or Leonard at this point.

 

I would love to have leonard on the team. He seems like a mangini player. He's got a good attitude and is a hard worker. He's also incredibly versatile, and will be a good receiver out of the backfield

 

brian leonard is what this team is looking for from a runningback. A good character hard working guy who has a lot of talent.

And hes a white guy who runs a 4.49 thats awsome.

 

I'd take him at #59 if we get Adalius Thomas and another good free agent or two.

 

Same here- Tony Hunt is my pick.

Good blocker, good receiver, and can read blocks as well as anyone. Only question is his straight-line speed: if he can run a 4.55 or less, he'll be a hot commodity.

 

Same here. Worst case scenario he doesn't work out as a RB and can become the FB. He was a pretty underrated blocker for Ray Rice this year. The guy's crazy athletic, is a team-first player, and should still be there at #57. If we get Thomas, we can have our choice between DL, OG, and CB with our first 2 picks (dependent on who we sign between now and the draft and assuming we get Thomas) and then draft Leonard at 57.

 

Glad we cleared that up.

 

Since I believe we're goign to grab a RB in the later rounds of the draft, I would want to get Brandon Jackson. He's pretty shifty and has a lot of power for his size. Watching his tape reminds me kind of Curtis Martin, very patient looking for holes. With his blending of size and speed he has the power to gain some yards after the first hit.
I'll go with Brandon Jackson.
