http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=3819447 Say what you want about Moreno, but Wells has the most potential of any RB, maybe player, in this draft. Hard to see Cincy and Cleveland both passing up on him.
Beanie if he can ever stay healthy is better than Knoshon. Call me Bias or whatever but it is what it is. His injuries will keep him out of the top 10.
Im not trying to knock Moreno, I think he will be good, but I think if he stays healthy Wells can have a Peterson type impact for some team. Yeah, he does have the injury concern, but as I repeat often, so did Peterson. Give the kid a physical and see what you see. If hes healthy Id have trouble passing on him, but Im in the minority here on this board. Was a good decision for both Beanie and Moreno to come out though I agree.
The thing that concerns me most about Wells is that ankle and his running style. I love his stiff arm I believe its the best around but he takes to many shots.
If we are talking potential, I think Maybin, Maclin, and Mays have more potential than Wells. And I don't think Wells has the 4th most potential either.
Not even his Home run threat ability? Wells has great vision and finds the whole. Doesn't have the speed like Peterson but surely I would think to be able to break off for a huge run is there between the 2.
Yep. About all you can say though is they said the same stuff about AP cominng out. Injury prone, takes to many hits, to violent etc. And they may be right. AP may only last another 4-5 years, but hell if they wont be damn good ones. I know you disagree Boom
Nah Wells running style isn't angry like AP. Peterson actually would go towards defenders, Wells would if he could shy from contact also Wells likes throwing that mallet of arm at defenders.
Sorry for the confusion, was just pointing out why some people were saying AP took so many hits. Wells does go for the stiff if he can, quite nasty
Maybin might not come out. Maclin=ginn 2.0 (crabtree>maclin). Everyone has a pet player or two they need to hype up, mine is Beanie
Nah, Wells has enough potential to be in the top 25 most potential. But he is behind OT, Jason Smith.
I can see Crabtree being every bit the pro that guys like Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitz and Andre Johnson are. Maclin I dont see as quite that level. Crabs is a beast Im hearing he is personally leaning to staying in school for another season but there is some pressure on him to come out. Personally, I dont think his stock is gonna get any higher, he might as well go. Doubly so since his QB is leaving. If im the Chiefs Crabs in round 1 and Harrell in 2 would be an interesting pair of pickups
He's still a great looking talent. He's raw but he has a lot of potential if he can keep his head on straight.
Ive only watched him play twice but he reminds me more of a keyshawn johnson. But then again one of those games was the Ole Miss game when he had a bad ankle
