No way he goes 1st round with his arrest history. RB's are easy to find and teams are using their 1st round picks on other positions. If he goes this year I bet he ends up a 3rd-4th round pick. Which is pretty good considering he's only played the last two years

I would put Lache Seastrunk, Kadeem Carey, and Bishop Sankey above him at this point but put him ahead of DeAnthony Thomas, Melvin Gordon, and James Wilder. I say right now he would go as a solid 3rd rounder maybe early 4th but could see him sneak into the 2nd if he continues building on what he has accomplished so far.


Stanley, seastrunk, nor Kadeem Carey are better running backs or suited better for the pro game. If not for off the field issues, Hill is a mid to low first round pick. Due to those issues he might fall to the second round and no later than the third. hill style is made for the pro game at 235 with decent speed and physical play. The other three range from 203 to 193 in size. Most guys that size cannot take the 18-20 carries a game in the NFL. Example lamichael James from Oregon was and is a far better back than any of those three named and is (5'9, 195). As good as he was, he was picked 61 in the second round. He just is not the every down physical back that teams like. With Hill vs the other three, you also have to look at what Each has done against elite competition such as bamas defense last season. Minus off the field issues, Hill is a better back and the first back taken as of right now IMO.

Isn't Duke Johnson a draft eligible sophomore this year as well?

He is such a special player the NFL is going to have a separate draft just for him; the day before the regular NFL draft in May 2014. He will be the only player selected. In order to take part teams will have to surrender their entire roster to the remaining 31 teams.

4th round? I think thats where you want him to get drafted but barring an injury he is going a lot than that.

Saints cut Ingram, and trade up to middle second to get Hill.

1st round talent. But, due to RB usage in the NFL and all the RBBCs and passing game in the NFL, plus hes off the field issues, he will go in the 2nd or 3rd round. But i think he will be a starter from day 1 in the NFL.

Hes very similar to Arian Foster IMO. 6'2 230lbs that is very smooth with great vision and for some reason people never can get a solid hit on them. And has extremely deceptive speed. Might be a little more physical than Foster, while Foster might have a little bit better vision.

You gotta be kiddin me. He carries the ball 30 times a game and did last year as well. He will be a worn out dishrag at the end of this season.

5'10" 200 lbs. could be lightweight for NFL.


Sankey is one tough arse bastard and you've obviously never seen him run. He's only really played his last two years and had 5.0 ypc last year and 5.6 ypc this year. He has shown to be durable and he put up 1400 rushing yards 16 TDs, and 250 receiving yards when Price was playing like crap.

Kadeem Carey


Have you watched him? He is in the same mold of Dou Martin.

quote:

seastrunk


Will remind people of CJ Spiller but a less injury prone one. This guy has barely any touches for his career.

quote:

Bishop Sankey


You guys are sleeping on this dude. If people took Trent Richardson's sorry as, they'll graciously take Sankey.

quote:

Most guys that size cannot take the 18-20 carries a game in the NFL


And how many do take 18-20 carries in the NFL right now? Lesean McCoy is 5-10 210 and Seatrunk is a dead ringer for his playing style.
