Im sick of the all talk that Saints are taking a RB at 14 (i seriously doubt they would) but I wanna kno who would u compare Wells and Moreno to?

Moreno = Cadilliac Williams, similiar style and size also I dont think Moreno will be a great RB but he will be a starter and productive

Wells = Cedric Benson without being a head case and more productive

Wells might be more like Ronnie Brown than Benson. Moreno being compared to Cadiliac Williams is probably about right. If the Saints draft either one, I hope they aren't as injury prone as who we're comparing them to, or as bad as Cedric Benson

Wells = Duece

Moreno = Too much of what we already got (bush)

Maybe..I jus could remeber watchin Brown at Auburn and thinking he was better than Cadilliac and would be an oustanding pro..Watching Wells in college reminded me of Benson when he was at Texas

Also I think Brown is a more versatile player than Wells, especially as a reciever

I only changed the comparison because I'm starting to warm up to Wells and comparing him to Benson scared me.

Agree with you..I like Wells more than Moreno but I was more talking about their running style...I think he will be way more productive than Benson (Benson was also lazy and a headcase)

I think Wells at least looks faster on the field than Benson did too

Wells reminds me of Ahmad Green in running style; slasher type.

Moreno is oft compared to Cadillac, which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense being that Cadillac rarely makes open field moves the way Moreno does. Moreno's a lot more like LT.

I can see some Ahman Green style of running in him without the fumbling problem

But we've never seen eye to eye on Moreno...He's no LT..I really dont think he will be among the elites.

Yeah I didn't mean the fumbling issues, just the style. We certainly don't see eye to eye on KM; I love the sample you showed, given the defenders' proximity. Its hard to debate that the LT sample I just linked and the KM highlight I've linked before ( one with Camillionaire or whoever playing in the background ) are much different; I will give you, however, that it remains to be seen if KM can run like that in the NFL.

Going with current NFL players:

Moreno = Michael Turner/Brian Westbrook/DeAngelo Williams

Wells = Joseph Addai/Steven Jackson/Marion Barber/Fred Taylor



(I know some of the NFL guys are diffrent in ways, but Wells and Moreno have some of the same skill set as some of each of them.)
