Chris Johnson and Jamal Charles. IMO They are track people playing football without the instincts.

Aliq Talib- he just looks shaky to me.
Brian Brohm-a system QB who doesn't have a whole lot of arm strength.

Yes, No Football Instincts. JJ is a prime example of what happens when a track guy plays football in the NFL.

JJ was a different type of runner. He was in a system that allowed him to avoid a lot of contact. Charles is a more physical runner who breaks a lot of tackles runs well between the tackles, take a look at the video. To say he has no football instincts is crazy. To me he dosen't look like a track guy on the football field, but he is fast.

This is why I don't like James Stewart. I am also a big fan of Charles in the 2nd.

In that one I put Cason and DeSean.. My bad.. I read it wrong and was tired.. I fell asleep right after I posted that and now Im wide awake at 3:30 in the morning.. :(

Darren McFadden and James Stewart.

Those are two I think will make an immediate impact? Different strokes for different folks. Kipper has McFadden as the best player in the draft. Stewart looks good to me. Why would McFadden be a bust? Good runners are more easily picked than most positions. QB's are tough as are DB's.

Matt Ryan & D. Rogers-Cromartie

Matt Ryan because against the best competition he struggled with his completion % (48% vs Va Tech, 49% vs FSU, 46% vs Mich St) my simple rule of thumb is I don't want a college QB who throws under 60%, or doesn't manage a 2-1 TD to Int ratio...unless they do something else like Vince Young and can makes plays with their feet.

Rogers-Cromartie is looking good based on workout numbers. He was beaten with some regularity as a CB at Tenn State by WRs who won't likely even be in the Arena League.

Seems to me that many years ago the Cowboys signed the college worlds 100 meter champion as a wideout (Bullet Bob Hayes). I am not even sure he had played football. He ran a 4.28 40. He was a track dude that made it real big.
