re: who would be a better fit Moreno or wells

Moreno has plenty of bust potential in my opinion. He may end up being a solid player, just not for the Saints. Don't see him filling any voids.

i keep hearing nothing but good things about Brown...ran a 4.52 at the combine, is a workhorse, faster than Moreno and is suppose to sneak into the 1st

i like them too....also we should look at Ringer in the 4th

I agree with this, we already have Bush who is the better version of Moreno in college.

Folks keep making this baseless claim and its simply untrue. Even in college, Reggie's highlight reel was 'dance a step, bounce outside' ( and why many folks, including myself, knew he wouldn't be a real RB in the NFL ). The only inside runs he had, the USC lines opened up like the red sea. Check his highlights if you doubt it.

Moreno, on the other hand, runs *extremely* well inside & in traffic. The tapes don't lie; Moreno runs in between the tackles infinitely better than Reggie ever has.

Numbers don't define the player. You can't look at Reggie's numbers alone and understand how he out ran folks to the outside in college on a good team in a weak conference, nor does the stat sheet show how Moreno got the yards he did with tons of injuries to the UGA Oline. Ya gotta look at the film and the film completely disagrees with ya.

If you're drafting Brown or McCoy, you have to take them in the late first to second round, and Jennings in the second to third, so you're not really saving 'pick value' by going with a lesser back on the board than Moreno or Wells.

Take a look at their film. Brown is pretty much a Well's clone and can be tentative in the hole. Jennings has almost no lateral movement or questionable vision ( is he not seeing the hole / cutback or can he just not get there? ). LeSean McCoy is the most impressive of those three, with some fumbling concerns. McCoy is a lesser Moreno; no sense to take Moreno-light in the same round that you can take the real thing.

Game replays & Youtube are your friends; use them.

again, I'd like to trade down and take Brown

Moreno is 5'10, 210 and runs a 4.6.Uh, no thanks.

a reported 4.37 and "estimated" 4.57 is a big difference.

Moreno hasn't broken 4.6 at the combine or his pro day. As for the inside running, don't blame the O-line, they get a bad rap every year at UGA and Moreno had three years to play to prove himself behind all those lines. In college Bush ran up the middle the same way Moreno did. I will freely admit that Moreno is more willing to put his head down and take a hit, but to say they are completely different is just as asinine as saying they are exactly the same.

They are similar and Moreno doesn't bring much to the table that Bush doesn't already provide.

He bounces it outside A LOT for a big guy though

So does Adrian Peterson

Note: I'm not comparing him to Peterson so calm down

PT

What about Moreno though?
