    Lax,

    To some degree I like Bailey more than Austin.

    With DK hopefully going someplace else next year and us needing a TE. A later round pick that is a big kid that catches everything is Zach Sudfeld from UNR.

    Lax,

    Last year there was a few of us that hyped Martin....we both kept talking about him. Who is this years Martin, in saying that the way late round rb's play such as Morris is it worth it to pull the trigger early on a rb?

    I agree. I like Bailey a lot. Although as a playmaker, Austin is an incredible talent and is more likely to break a big one than Bailey is.

    Trust me, I think Austin is the far bigger playmaker but as far as being the consistant player I think that was/is Bailey.

    When I watch Bailey it just screams Steve Smith to me... I would love either WVU receiver on this team, or even both. Both are extremely explosive and are great despite their lack of size.

    I'll have to check out that TE, thanks for the heads up though.

    As for RBs, Gio Bernard in my eyes, is a tad better than Martin. He isnt as powerful, but he has better running instincts- ability to read his blockers, patience and vision. To me, that is huge... Especially after watching Shonn Greene the last 4 years who lacks all of those (and not saying Martin's running instincts are bad, because they are very good, I just think Bernard's are better).

    If he miraculously fell to our 2nd round pick I would pull the trigger and never look back. If he made it out of the first and into day 2, I would definitely give up a 4th to move up and grab him... He would also be a great trade back option where we pick up an extra 2nd and 3rd and trade back into the 20's.

    With what you're saying with Morris, I can understand where you are coming from. But just look at our recent drafting of RBs, we've drafted an RB every year in the middle to late rounds and have come up with nothing. Its extremely hard to strike gold, and if you can get a stud RB then you should.

    As for a player that could be like an Alfred Morris diamond in the rough- Zurlon Tipton. Im going to start about sleepers in the draft and he's a big part of it... Check him out. Reminds me a lot of Matt Forte.

    Denard robinson i want on the team next years team he can do everything he can play QB better than sanchez, rb better than greene and wr decently could be a guy that we could use

    Barner is also good but oregon rb? LaMichael James

    He flies and could be useful in our crappie run game
