CHARLES is a Much Better Overall BACK and he should/will get drafted before both of 'EM. He ran for over 230 yards in the 4th quarter alone in the game vs. Nebraska (granted it was vs. 'em)! He is so FAST and can CATCH - Very VERSATILE! Watch out for Steve Slaton (WVU)to be a good value pick and solid player in the NFL, though he should've stayed 1 more year with his pal Pat White. What I saw outta him, despite the late season's drifting away & fall off, was a back that is capable of carrying the ball 20-25 times a game and being able to catch the ball (natural) with ease anytime he wants. He's like a poor man's version of Marshall Faulk. Very tough in-between the tackles and is fast! This year's RB class is DEEP and Very, Very, Very TALENTED! Watch out for that BIG 6-foot 255-pound Mich ST Spartan RB Jehuu Caulcrick who ran for 21 TDS! And where is Kevin SMITH from Central Florida! Almost broke Barry Sanders' All-Time Rushing Yards in a Season Record! He should be in that least for sure... He is 6-foot 1 211 pounds from Miami and went to UCF a small school... may get unnoticed and overlooked but he PILED Up BIG #s and carries with: 450 rushes for 2,567 yards and 29 TDS!!!! He can FLAT-OUT Play and has all the Talent in the World! I understand big #s don't mean all that much esp. if you play in a small conference at a small school, when you look @ a lot of underplayed and underused good RB's outta strong conferences and big schools who didn't get the #s and PT but then later had the SUCCESS @ THE NFL Level - a la Terrell Davis with Georgia! Also how about Matt Forte ~ This should be stretched out and lengthened to a Top 10 List with all the good RBS out there for the '08 Draft! Kid racked up over 2,100 rush yards, going for 23 TDS! It will be INTERESTING to see where these RB's End Up team-wise and which Round they will get Drafted! Russ I would put Jamaal CHARLES (Texas) ahead of both Rice & Johnson.

Watch out for Steve Slaton (WVU)to be a good value pick and solid player in the NFL, though he should’ve stayed 1 more year with his pal Pat White. What I saw outta him, despite the late season’s drifting away & fall off, was a back that is capable of carrying the ball 20-25 times a game and being able to catch the ball (natural) with ease anytime he wants. He’s like a poor man’s version of Marshall Faulk. Very tough in-between the tackles and is fast!

This year’s RB class is DEEP and Very, Very, Very TALENTED!

Watch out for that BIG 6-foot 255-pound Mich ST Spartan RB Jehuu Caulcrick who ran for 21 TDS!

And where is Kevin SMITH from Central Florida! Almost broke Barry Sanders’ All-Time Rushing Yards in a Season Record! He should be in that least for sure…
