Ok.. but look at that program... he jumped at the opportunity to leave, that program in Colorado is a wreck, and has been for some time. He definately shows character and smarts for getting off that ship well before it went down. At Colorado, I believe he was also running behind Purify and some guy name Brown, who plays the Titans now, who isn't half the back that Calhoune will be in my eyes. They wanted change his position... I think he did a great job of proving that he deserved to be running the ball. He was, I think, arguably the best back in the big 10 behind Maroney, and could be mentioned for top 10 in the land last year... it would be foolish to not look at him in the first 2 to 3 rounds.

Sproles weighs about 25 lbs less than Drew. Both are short but different body types altogether. Spoles is short with a tiny frame while Drew is more like a bowling ball. I think Drew is also a little quicker and a better much better receiver out of the backfield. To answer the original question posed in this thread I like Joe Addai , Drew, Norwood, Moore, Cahoun and Leon Washington.
I know, i corrected myself in a later post. and you couldnt be more wrong. All they have in common is height. Drew is way more thicker and has amazing hands. Hes not a Darren Sproles, hes a Brian Westbrook type player, where you can line him up at receiver to screw with defenses. If people were gung ho for drafting Reggie Bush, they should be pretty happy then to get this kid, because hes a similar player minus all the slurpage from the media
I agree, i saw him play twice this year and was impressed, he is a first day type player. But if it were up to me, I would make sure we get L. White.
trade abe for a mid to late 1st and try and land maroney imo he is the most proven back in this draft . he proven he can be a workhorse (25+) carries a game guy. and doesnt come with alot millage sharing carries with marion barber for 2 yrs. he has the speed and power
