RedskinTerrorist Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 So I'd be willing to bet that Shanny is looking to the later rounds to add some youth to our RB corps. We already have CP and LJ who are both in the twilight of their careers, and Anthony Aldridge and PJ Hill. AA has some explosiveness, but Hill seems like fodder. Shanny has quite a knack for finding RBs that fit his system late* in the draft. Examples not listed in any particular order- Mike Anderson - 6th round Olandis Gary - 4th round Reuben Droughns - 3rd round Terrell Davis - 6th round Clearly, TD is the only one that is headed to Canton, but each of these guys were 1000 yrd rushers for Shanny. Assuming that we take QB and OL for our first two picks (most agree are our two biggest needs), and we don’t have a 3rd (unless we trade down *fingers crossed*), then we should only consider those projected to go later than three. My RB wish list: Joe McKnight USC - I know, I know, he’s projected to go in the 3rd, but I think he's the future. Perfect size 6' 180lbs. Fast. One-cut downhill runner (shanny likey). Returns kicks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fliv9DNBfIg Lonyae Miller Fresno - Fast. Good size 5'11" 220. STRONG. breaks tackles. good hands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCeA-b_r6wM Deji Karim Southern Ill - I usually don't like little backs (he's 5'8), but ever since spoles and MJD, I have started to come around. This guy's really fast. Elusive. Strong for size (19 bench press reps). Good hands. Returns kicks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej8pypXXA7k Who would you guys like to see as our late-round RB pick? *3rd round and later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGutta Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 LaGarrette Blount, Oregon - 6'0, 238 lbs. Low 4.5 40 at his pro-day. I think we'd get him in the 4th, MAYBE 5th, but I highly doubt it. He is like Ryan Torain (who Shanny drafted in '08) without the injuries. I think Blount has a floor of Brandon Jacobs and a ceiling of Steven Jackson. Remember, before the punch, he was a 1st round prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 He is on our roster now. Yeah, he was part of the group of players signed after the season. Don't know much about him, tho. Edit: He was actually signed off of Philly's PS. From reading the scouting reports, it sounds like he's a short yardage back type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe McKnight isn't perfect size, he's more strung out than Reggie Bush - he's got the body of a WR 3. Bench press is the most arbitrary measure of strength there is.

TheREALJBird Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'd like Hardesty, but I honestly think he goes in the 3rd round, if he's there in the 4th we'd have to snag him. Joe Mcknight seems like somebody we have a better shot at, Brandon Tate as well, but Hardesty would be my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinTerrorist Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 3. Bench press is the most arbitrary measure of strength there is. What I meant by this is if your going to be 5'8 in the NFL, you better be stocky (as a rb). See MJD. Also, TD going to the hall is easily debatable. If you want to argue against, that's fine. List some stats or data or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfbovey Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The reason I think Hardesty will be available in the 4th, is that he hasn't had consistent production throughout his college career. He was considered a 4th or 5th round choice prior to the combine. Although he had a great work out I don't know that it would propel him into the 3rd round.

He's a longshot because his career was cut way short. He doesn't have the career statistics you'd expect to see from a Hall of Fame inductee at the RB position.

redskins55 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Great thread!! Look for LaMarcus Coker out of Hampton to get some attention. He's already in the D.C area. But One person we definitely need on our team is LeRoy Vann from Florida A&M. He's a special teams coach's dream. We've lacked someone who could take it the distance on special teams and be explosive on certain plays and this kid could be the answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 IIRC Shanahan has been know to keep 4 RBs on the roster. If Alridge can learn how to field kicks he can stake a spot on this team. I dont expect to get Tate after he blew up at the combine. Hardesty might be a good pick but Im not really sold on him but I would be ok with taking him in the 4th but I would rather spend that pick on a 3-4 OLB Pass Rush specialist.

stoney26 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 With only 5 picks this year I dont see us drafting a running back unless we trade back and get some more picks. We have way to many holes on this team to be drafting our 3rd string running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
