What's the board's opinion? Joseph Randle or Ameer Abdullah in the 5/6th round?


Abdullah for me. Randle is just not that talented. Randle is the definition of average athleticism. He's not really that big at 6'0" 208. He has tiny hands. He doesn't have particularly great vision. And he is not that bright (Who steals underwear?). I think Dunbar is the better back and isn't that much smaller than Randle in terms of build at 5'8" 195lbs.

Abdullah has some special traits with respect to explosiveness, quickness, and lateral agility. I don't think Joique Bell is that great and he is coming off injury.

Bell isn't great, but he's the only back in DET that can run between the tackles. Good pass catcher, will probably get GL work
