Please make all comments about today's course of events in this thread. Most of you were relatively well behaved yesterday, and your continued adherence to board rules and regulations would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't include WR, because if we wanted one we would have taken MW.

I think DE or DT. There are still a lot of solid players out there.

A Fullback?
Not a Need, but I guess we need someone who can block for CP.

BIO: Starting featured back at UCLA the past two seasons, totaling 164/764/8 on the ground as a senior, also adding 20/115/1 catching the ball. Junior rushing totals were 96/379/3 in eight games. Played fullback with the first unit as a sophomore.
POSITIVES: Big, strong, athletic ball handler with potential as a triple-threat fullback in the NFL. Hard-working runner who breaks tackles, falls forward to pick up the extra yardage and can be a battering ram in the middle of the field. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and displays decent footwork for a big man. Solid hands out of the backfield and shows good blocking vision. Tough and works hard until the whistle blows.
NEGATIVES: Lacks speed around the outside and does not have a burst through the hole. Adequate blocker but must learn to finish.
ANALYSIS: Possessing excellent size/speed numbers, White is a threat handling the ball, yet also has potential as a lead blocker. Needs repetition to round out his game, but a solid prospect who could break into a starting lineup two or three seasons down the road.
PROJECTION: Late Third Round

This was a need. We have tiny RBs. This guy looks like a solid pick.
