First RB taken in NFL draft

[TruffleShuffle]

Who do you think should be the first running back selected in the NFL draft? (i.e., which guy will have the better career)

Austin Scott

I like how the question is two different questions.

I am a Mendenhall homer, I will admit. But I would still take McFadden over him. Especially on the Bears.

Illini fans,

 

Why did Mendenhall not carry the ball more than 100 times in his first two years? Is there a tailback I'm forgetting that was better?

Pierre Thomas started ahead of Mendenhall, right?

Voted other because McFadden will go first, but Jonathan Stewart will have the better career. If McFadden continues to run so upright in the NFL, he will bust big-time.

Forgot about Thomas.

Yeah, everyone needs to stop sleeping on the greatness of PAC 10 RBs.

I think one of the biggest steals in the draft could be Jamaal Charles. He may last until late second, early third round. And I think he could end up being one of the top three backs that come out of this draft. The depth of RB in this draft is ridiculous.

Yep, and he played on a pitiful OL.

 

I saw the Bears-Saints game this year, and he was pretty damn good. He beat out a fourth round pick right?
