RyanBe_Tebowing Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 With Gato posting the thread about OLBs, I feel the need to discuss the RB position in the draft as well. Here's a list of the top RB prospects in no order. Eddie Lacy Giovani Bernard Le'Veon Bell Andre Ellington Joesph Randle Rex Burkhead Ray Graham Montee Ball Stepfan Taylor Kenjon Barner Silas Redd Cierre Wood Theo Riddick This class is pretty good but obviously took a huge blow after Lattimore's injury. With Shonn Greene out, it's a lot more likely we draft one of these guys in the higher rounds (1st-3rd). I would enjoy some of the faster big playmaking products on this list (Eddie Lacy, Kenjon Barner, Andre Ellington), but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Give me anyone who can catch and block, and improve the OL talent on the team. I like Lacy just because 'Bama puts out tough, complete players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Riddick was a WR at ND but really came on as a runner. I'd love him in a later round. I like what I've seen from Powell and of we can get someone to compliment him, that's be great. That said, I don't see a RB before rounf 4 or 5 because we have pressing needs at TE, OG, OT, S, OLB and MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunAticcalm Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Montee Ball should be the focus of this draft. I would kill to see him in green and white. Barner is also pretty special, and I will certainly be esctatic with him but I feel Ball is the true prize of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Randle is one of my favorites. Can hit a home run, great hands out of the backfield, really good pass blocker. Also like Bernard a lot. Shifty but pretty fast too, nice vision, good pass catcher. He's been dinged up though and I've read medical evals may not go so well for him. Good player, solid all around back. Ray Graham is interesting also. Started to hit his stride a bit late in the season after his ACL injury last year. I think he could outperform his draft position if he starts to return to his junior year form, but obviously injuries are a concern for him too. But a potential mid-round steal.

bitonti Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 i could see the Jets going Lacy in rd 2. I don't see any compelling reason why any of these names go in rd 1. Greene isn't coming back, RB is a need position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would enjoy some of the faster big playmaking products on this list (Eddie Lacy, Kenjon Barner, Andre Ellington), but that's just me. None of these guys are worth a 1st or 2nd IMO. Maybe Lacy purely based on the recent Bama RB pedigree but even he doesnt seem worhty of that high of a selection. Ball's got a lot of mileage on him and reminds me a ton of Greene's career in college. I like Benard and Randle, but again, wouldnt spend a 1st our 2nd on them. I'd much prefer waiting and targeting a later round player. No homer, but Gillislee is a good prospect. Runs between the tackles, can break it outside, wiggle, break away speed and can catch. I'm guessing he'll be a 3rd rounder? Dont know. But thats a brilliant value pick and would be a solid compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLA pedigree on RB's is pretty good (fred taylor, emmitt) They havent had a good RB prospect in a long time. I wasnt sure where he was grading out these days but yeah, I agree, solid Senior Bowl and nice combine could make him a 2nd round prospect...which might be too high IMO. 3rd round seems perfect for him.

bitonti Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 ****ing Tannenbaum made us miss out on AD. i assume you are being sarcastic. but if not that was the year that Tanny drafted Revis. Probably the best draft pick in franchise history (or at least the best since 1969) Revis > AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to school 15 minutes away from where Riddick played, the people there chanted his names all game like he was a celebrity. For a good reason too, dude is a beast.

bLguerriero1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 yeah i think lacey and ball are complete backs... i'd really like them.. those other guys are more compliment backs like ellington or bell i just think we need to make rb a serious concern, our offense was snappin when a real back, lt... greene just puts his head down and runs into linemens' backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayKwaz Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Miguel Maysonet from stony brook, and my hometown of Riverhead, NY. Before you knock me look him up. I watched him all through high school.

CotcheryifyouCan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 really like Kenjon Barner. would love him in the 2nd or 3rd. Gillisee from Florida is not bad but I do not know he will translate to the pros. Monte Ball is a beast but I do not know if he is explosive enough. Id consider Lattiomore late somwhere in the 4th or 5th if he is still around. I would just really like an explosive rb who can catch out of the backfield and has breakaway speed.

Ryno the Jet Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Draft Warmack and put any of those guys behind him and were good. Agreed. I would love for the Jets to end up with Lacey, but don't want to use our 2nd rd pick on him. It would be cool to grab Ball in the 3rd and then take a chance on Lattimore later.
