Yo- we need a running back. So this is who we draft at #5...

[Jobody]

Darren Sproles. hes a sophomore out of kansas st. i know he probably wont declare eligible, but who knows how this will turn out. he torched oklahoma for like 200 yards or so in the big12 championship. he reminds me of marshall faulk. small, quick, agile, big play ability, good receiver. just a thought.

If he declares, there's no way we'd use the #5 on him.

[ShaggySkins]

um no. He's too small and he's not even worth a first round pick let alone a top 5. He reminds me of Quentin Griffin who went to Denver in the 4th or 5th round. He's a good college back but he won't be a 30 carry per game back in the NFL.

[Jobody]

he was the #1 RUSHER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. HES AMAZING

[BigCountry]

At the number 5 pick?!!! We might as well forfit the pick. Ken Dorsey was the number one passer in college. Those don't mean a thing... Choosing Sphroles with the 5th pick would be worse then resigning Jeff George. NO WAY

[TwistyNiblet]

no

Maybe with a fifth round pick...but not the #5 pick...

[IowaSkinsFan]

Jobody,

Did you mean the #5 pick or the 5th round pick?

We already have a "Darren Sproles" type player on the roster...small, quick, agile, good receiver...by the name of Chad Morton...would you use a first round draft pick on him?

We already have the shifty backs, now we need a power back i.e Steven Jackson, Greg Jones. One of those two would make me a happy man. We would only be able to land Jackson if we got another first somehow. No rb is even close to the 5 hole.

Speeking of return guys, I do think Sproles has a chance to be as good as Dante Hall in that department.

[J-Rod]

My point exactly Odyn.
