Yes to Michael...love that kids game.

Maybe to Davis...if he's recovered from the knee injury in 2011 he's got talent. Saw him a few times earlier in this past season...he wasn't anywhere near the level he was the year before when he got hurt.

Gillislee is fast but small. Might be wotht he risk./

Not interested in Taylor.


I'd rather take Montee Ball at some point after round 3.

Taylor is likely the best of them?

Not sure ball will be there after the third

Probably not. But who would have thought Lamar Miller would fall past the 3rd round at this point last year?

Taylor ran 4.72 today. He's going to be lucky to get drafted.

Knile Davis tore it up with a 4.37

I'd like to get Johnathan Franklin from UCLA in the 3rd if possible.

He was already a late round projection. Running that poorly most likely pushes him further down the food chain...therefore... "he'll be lucky to get drafted."


Morris was a 6th round pick. If he'd have run in the 4.7's instead of the 4.6's he'd have been lucky to get drafted as well.

But that doesn't mean he can't have a career in the NFL now does it? Plenty of guys have gone undrafted and gotten paid to play on Sundays.




>

> 4-5



No way I waste a draft pick on a RB that can't break 4.7


Taylor and Winn get one more shot at their pro days to show this was an anomaly and not what they are.

So? Good is good. If Miller is as good as we think, why wouldn't we want another one like him?

I think we need a bigger Ray Rice MJD type guy which Michael & Davis seem to fit the bill. Can Miller?

Not sure if Miller can carry 15-20 a game. Thomas? Who knows if he can stay helathy. Hoping for a Chris Ivory release

Kenjon barner has worked out with a friend (former Pro Rcool smiley for years. I love the kid, he's electric, but worrry if they can take that beating in the NFL. nice change of pace RB

Lamar Miller is 5'11 212 ran a 4.40 at the combine

MJD is 5'7 205 and ran 4.39

Rice is 5'8 199 and ran 4.42

Miller is already a bigger version of them. Now we have to find out if he's as good.

I hope Miller can be that type of back. Didn't get much playing time last year when our running game sucked

Over the last two years, we've given up a 3rd rounder, a 4th, 5th and a 6th to get Miller and Thomas.

All of these guys should be gone by rnd 4. I like Gillislee I think he will be a better pro than college player. Taylor will be drafted he already had a reputation for being 'fast in pads' vs on the track.

2 rb's who are rated 6/7 rounders I like are:

Dennis Johnson - AR

Miguel Maysonet - Stonybrook (NY)
