    Would you draft him? He has a 2000+ yd rushing season and has kinda gone under the radar as far as RB's go.

    I think we could get him in the 4th.

    We've got a lot of position gaps on this team to fill.
    We traded a 4th rounder for Ivory last year. We still have Powell under contract and I personally think that Goodson deserves a 2nd chance.

    Quite frankly, it wouldnt matter who we draft at RB, if the O-line remains in its average (at best) state. We need to spend earlier draft picks on the OL!

    IMHO RB is NOT one of our needs. WR, TE, OL, OLB, SAFETY, CB.

    I love me some Andre Williams, really came out of nowhere to jump into Heisman debates recently. I've seen him play in person 5 times this year and damn was he impressive. His last 3 games he has ran for 263, 295, and 339! yards, and also had 149 against a very stingy FSU D and 166 and 2 TDs against a VT D that only gave up 96 rushing yds to 'Bama.
    He reminds me a lot of Marshawn Lynch with a VERY physical running style and surprising breakaway speed. I was shocked that he ran a (unofficial, according to Pete Thamel at SI) 4.39 40. With all of that being said, BC's run blocking has been dominant, opening monster holes for him. I'd absolutely love to pick him up but with Ivory (similar North-South power back) already on the roster and a lack of pass catching talent I just don't see it happening
