i'd have to say jj arrington (not just because the cards may be interested). he's proven he can compete at the highest level in college, leading the nation in rushing with more than 2,000 yards and leading the nation in yards per carry. he's got the speed at 4.4 and is an elusive back, a common knock on him is his size, he played his last year at cal at 205lbs but not many people know that he is naturally at 215, that's where he is now, and where he was at the combine when he ran a 4.4. he only slimmed down on the advice of pro scouts teeling him he needed be be more "shifty" he reminds me alot of curtis martin with less recieving skill.

Arrington will be best RB in this class period, not just best after big 3!

JJ. I met him a month or so ago and the kid is bright, Hungry and very well put together. He is a worker.

If he ends up with the right team!
You're right. I think he needs to contribute right away, or he might fade away.

Not in the draft but I'll take Steve Warren FB/DT from Nebraska now with the San Jose Sabercats.

He's playing both at 6'1" 308 and has 5 rushing Td's in his last 4 games including 3 in the last game against the Rattlers.

Now that he's found his niche I predict NFL stardom.

Pretty hard to say, alot will depend on the team that drafts them. If Denver or KC take any of the RB's not in the top 3, that player should have good success, especially in Denver where there isn't a solid number one guy. All things being equal, I think Fason or Sproles may have the biggest impact.
