We don't have to land all of Collins, Michel, Cook, etc. (though that would ideal), we just need to land one every 3 years. That would mean guys like Yearby/Walton/Cam etc. move to a #2/3 role they're better suited to vs being our #1 RB. But there's not a Collins/Michel/Cook type if South...

5.5 ypc is a career benchmark to use for a RB. not every individual year. But you want your #1 RB to hit 5.5 McGahee - 5.9 career ypc. McGahee averaging 4.7 ypc in 2001 isn't an issue when he's the #3 guy behind Portis (5.5 ypc) & Gore (9.1 ypc) Gore - 5.7 career ypc. Gore averaging 4.8 ypc...

Me personally i dont care where running backs get drafted in the nfl as long as they hit over that 5 ypc and over 1k rushing for the year for us. Of the Top 50 College RB's last year 50% averaged 5.5 ypc 82% averaged 5.0 ypc 5.0 ypc is a very below average ypc. It's fine if you're happy with...

@BoxingRobes - excellent points. I couldn't agree with you more. @gogeta4 - we've had 1 RB (Duke) taken on Day 1 & 2 in the last 18 NFL drafts. That's embarrassing. Why do you not want this to change? I'll put it this way - a legit RB should average 5.5+ ypc in college (Of course this stat...

CJ I see as a RB/WR hyrbid utility type player. I don't know if he's a straight up RB and think him filling out is pretty iffy. Guys like Pope, Parrish, Knighton, Yearby, etc - they just never filled out much and IMO it limited the ceiling of what they could be. Some dudes just stay lanky...

Just watched Chris Wheatley-Humphrey's Junior film and he looks like a potential to be a playmaker. Problem is - he's listed at 6-0 175. That's like Mark Pope playing RB. He's got A LOT of filling out to do. Hard to project a RB with WR frame.
