hot sleeper rb pick--i'm calling it now

[starqb14]

Brandon McAnderson from Kansas. Don't be surprised to see the Packers reach for this guy in Rd 3 or 4.
from what I've seen, he's big with at least respectable speed, runs N/S, hits hard and has good pad level. His style should fit the zone scheme and really complement Grant and Jackson well. Jackson will be a lot better next year, too, when he is a little older than like 17 or whatever he is now...

I dunno, the Packers drafted 2 RBs last year in Jackson and Wynn and they still have Morency. They'll prob grab another one earlier than the 3rd or 4th round and I couldn't see them drafting two again this year.

[starqb14]

who is the other guy they're going to draft besides mcanderson?

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Felix Jones, Ray Rice, Kevin Smith or others.... take your pick I guess. You could be right though. That's just my speculation.

[Matt McGuire]

Rashard Mendenhall is the 3rd best junior runningback besides McFadden and Stewart, and he might ultimately pass up Stewart.

rrrrrrrrrrrreally....
well you can think that if you want but I would have stewart's baby if he were available at (31) when the packers pick. he reminds me of a combination of shaun alexander and ahman green, both in their primes.

good call. I just think they would target some defensive playmakers high--CB and DE and then also TE, if they thought they could get a solid hard-running big back like McAnderson. Ray rice I think would fit as well--see warrick dunn in atlanta's zone scheme for previous years.
after the dallas game, I think a lot of people in the area and organization are pretty sold on Ryan Grant as for real.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

They definitely don't need a CB... just look how well Atari Bigbi has played this year... uhhh oh wait nevermind.

badumCHING!

seriously, though, he is a heck of a force against the run and is actually quite young yet. gosh i hope he improves.

Age has nothing to do with Jacksons poor performance, he just sucks.

[starqb14]

well, "when in Rome..."

[starqb14]

gotta kind of suck for the Giants to see Grant putting out 100 yd games when their backs can't stay healthy. and I don't mean that in the derrogatory sense, either.

[starqb14]

this of course from anchorman...the misplaced cliche that makes no sense here.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

yes... finish your statement? Haha, little Anchorman commin at ya.

Well he can't get worse against the pass... so I guess that's a good thing for his future.

tis true. most of the problem is putting himself in bad positions by being a split second late in recognition. this is the only reason I think he might actually improve with some maturity and experience. of course, he may also just have bad instincts.
