Ray Rice , Steve Slaton ?

Meaningless..

Set a school record for carries in 2006 season. Missed one game in 2 years..


Thanks puck for the verbatim nfl draft countdown scoop.

 

I dunno, he just doesnt "impress" like the other RB's seem to. Dont be so touchy Roll, criticism is a good thing!

 

Alot of people are comparing Ray Rice to Maurice Jones-Drew, but to me he plays alot more like Travis Henry (minus he marijuana).

 

what ever happend to Jamaal Charles of Texas
considering the titans are the new longhorns...
what are the chances of us looking at him??

 

He doesn't impress is relative IMO. If we are looking at grabbing some depth at RB in the 4th round Choice might be a nice pickup. I would expect Slaton to be floating around in the 4th round as well and it wouldn't surprise me if Choice was drafted ahead of Slayton.

If you want a more "impressive" RB like Rice we might have to trade up in the 2nd round just to have a shot at him.

IMO we should NOT go RB in the 1st round and that is coming from a guy who loves Chris Johnson. Even if Stewart is there I wouldn't neccesarily go RB. Wait until our 2nd round pick. Either Johnson, Charles, Rice or Smith will be available. Take the best value. All are better than CHenry.

 

How much does Smith have in the tank. He carried the UCF team. You don't run for 400 times in a year and not lose a little gas in the tank.
I think Smith might have to much mileage on him

However, I would like to get my hands on either of the three (Rice, Slaton, or Smith)

 

Maximus, my comments were about tashard choice.


Personally i don't care who is impressed with whom. This is the nfl where reggie bush is no more productive on a per carry basis and no more likely to break off a long run than lendale white. Making long spectacular runs in college don't mean squat. Being solidly productive for 2 straight years in a major conference does matter.

 

Well, Personally, I just dont think Choice is in the same class as Rice. He might be good 4th or 5th round value, but IMO we need to add some playmakers. We have a RB who can get 3-4 yards per carry and not break the big one. We need that threat. I know we made it to the playoffs with Lendale. But we are a running team first and foremost, and having a good stable of RB's is not a bad idea. This year is loaded with potential filled RB's and I hope we grab one. Rice, Johnson, Smith, Stewert, Jones....any one of those and I will be satisfied.
