Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Are you sick of Quarterback / Defensive Tackle talk?

The majority of the posts on TST are arguments that revolve around Suh or McCoy at DT or Clausen / Bradford at QB. Let's change it up a bit and talk about a backup running back for Steven Jackson. It would be nice to have a one/two punch handling the ball carrying duties like the Steelers had when they won last year and the Giants when they won two years ago. Take a vote:

yeah

we need to have deeper discussions like can the rams find any sleepers in the draft?

At RB there are plenty of later round guys.

Hardesty from Tenn
McNight from USC
Chris Brown from Oklahoma
Staffon Johnson from USC
Anthony Dixon from Miss St.

I second Anthony Dixon

He’s huge, has some moves, but more than anything he plays smash mouth football. It’d be nice to have a player with that ‘skill set’ on our team.

We do

his name is Steven Jackson. But I see your point. And I agree. We need more.

If Best falls to round 3

        I’d take him. He’s probably round 2 material though and I think we’ll find that BPA is a defensive lineman or LB. I voted Best though because I still like him for a BU, but I really like his speed and receiving for change of pace. I want playmakers like him. McCluster is much the same, I just don’t think till round 4. If we trade out of the first overall pick, though, anything is possible.

I'm pretty confident

My assessment is that mid 2nd round is probably too much. So late 2, early 3 is where I see his value. At best, pardon the pun.

If a team drafts him in the first, it won’t mean my assessment of his value was wrong. That would only mean the team made a mistake with that pick. My assessment will be proven wrong when he doesn’t produce like a 1st or 2nd rounder.

Yeah, I got a 12 pack on that, sure, why not.

Considering he’s a RB who doesn’t even weigh 200 pounds….he better blow people away at the combine, in the 40, the cone drill, and the shuttle drills. No one expects him to be strong, but if he is also not the fastest/quickest RB out there, he could easily fall to round 3.
