The Picks

[nunusguy]

Just how much difference is there between Slaton, taken late in the third round, and 2 other similar backs IMO taken in the first round - Felix Jones &
Chris Johnson taken by the Cowboys and Titans respectively.
These backs are all 3rd down, gadget type offensive weapons who may take a handoff now & then, a little flip-pass out in the flat, or line up in the slot as they are all thought to have good hands. Maybe even be at wide-out occasionally.
Slaton is slightly smaller than the other 2, but has comporable speed and quickness to Jones while Johnson has the title as the fastest guy in this years combine. But I don't think any of these guys can consistantly run between the tackles ?
I'm very confidant that we got the most "bang for our buck" because most agree that its doubful that any of these guys are feature NFL backs, so just what did the Cowboys & Titans get in the first-round that we didn't get in the third round ?
