Dunno Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Mario Fannin looks interesting, but generally speaking, I am not a huge fan of drafting running backs, particulary in the early parts of the draft. Seems the difference in value between a draft pick and an undrafted free agent RB is much less than for say an OT. And as seen by last years numbers, the o-line makes a huge difference for the rb, much more so than the rb. Just out of curiosity, how do they stack up to Curtis Steele?

papasmurfbell Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I never said anything about drafting a guy early. I was thinking round 4 and back. RB's are a dime a dozen. Only really special ones should be grabbed early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only really special ones should be grabbed early. I didn't mean to imply you were advocating drafting a rb early, it was more meant as a general statement of how I feel about the value of a rb compared to for example o-line. Whether these guys are early draft picks or not, I have no idea. I just wouldn't, in a general sense, use early draft picks on a rb when building a team.

RavenMad Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Before the combine Helu was seen as a 4th to 5th round pick. Now he is being mentioned as a late 2nd to early 4th. If he is there in the 4th he would be a great pick and the perfect compliment to Rice. I wouldn't touch Fannin until the 7th but someone will overdraft his speed.
