And of course, "other", if you want someone else.

I was hot on Donaldson early on, but then his Combine cooled me off after running a 4.68. The same goes for Gartrell Johnson and his 4.75. If I want a slow cruise liner, Arian Foster is a 4.68 guy.

Roy, I was keeping with Keith's original post as to who will be there when our 2nd round pick is on the clock, I'm sorry you feel that the 2nd round doesn't "qualify" as a mid rounder....


I'm not looking for a sub 4.5 RB in the mid-rounds, I want a thumper that can punch it in on goalline and short yardage situations. If I take a "thumper" in the second or third, then I would look at J. Williams, a local product, as insurance for Slaton.

A. Foster does too much dancing for a guy his size, IMO, and had some ball security issues in 08. I like H. Donaldson's toughness and determination fighting off tackles. He's got a nice stiff arm and is tough to bring down.
