Why would anyone draft this guy?

[Cbus cardsfan]

Here's what it said about this RB.Doesn't have alot of burst.Is not a burner. Doesn't play with alot of power.Isn't real shifty.Hands are decent.Yet, they(TSN) predict him to go in round 2.They are talking about Marion Barber. There is a guy to avoid. To be fair,they do say he has good vision but who cares if you're slow,weak, and have no wiggle?

Local Paper's Overrated list:

QB - Dan Orlovsky UConn-slow,no accuracy on run

RB - JJ Arrington Cal - Small player who relied on college system. Not a difference maker.

WR - Steven Savoy Utah

TE Dave Kashetta Boston College

OL - Elton Brown Virginia

LB - Channing Crowder Florida

DB - Brandon Browner Oregon - slow and stiff

DL - Dan Cody OU - Too thin poor mechanics

That paper sucks, someone else on this board made a good point, all players are sytem guys, otherwise they would not have been recruited by particular school/coach.

Arrington is the bomb, period.

Any relation to Phil Savoy?

Brandon Browner on that list is ridiculous, he is a beast and is now projected as a 3rd rounder b/c of a crappy 40 time.

Also, that profile sounds alot like E. Smith, he was decent I think

Arrington is too small for the NFL. Think Leeland McElroy

Surely, vision is the most under-rated commodity in a Running back at this time of the year. There have been plenty of big, fast guys who couldn't cut it at RB because they took tehir big, fast body and kept running into brick walls. (Curtis Enis, Rashaan Salaam, Trung Canidate come to mind).

I'm not that keen on Barber, but I think Ciatrick Fason will turn out to be the best RB in this draft, because he has fantastic vision AND enough acceleration to find seams in the running game. I also think Cadillac will be a better pro than Ronnine Brown for the same reason. If Brown goes to an ofense where the O-line is giving him gaping holes to run through, he'll be okay, but if not, and particualry if he goes to an offense that features a lot of cut-back running, counters etc (e.g. Miami) I think he will struggle.

I think Barber will be a decent RB in the NFL.
