Trent Richardson looking like the real deal

[maniax]

Size, speed, power, prototypical RB build. The dude has it all.

227 lbs, 25 bench press reps, 4.45 40 time, and he's a 3 down back.

It's debatable whether he's an even better prospect than AP? AP runs a bit more upright compared to Richardson.

I'd take Peterson over Richardson. I'd rather have Arian Foster as well.

 

[maniax]

I have not seen Richardson much, but he looks like he has more of a compact build.

I think Foster is good as well, but he's a bit of a product of the Houston scheme. Foster has great vision, and makes the right cut, and has power, but I think his elusiveness is probably at best average for a NFL back.

 

[BINGO]

You and everyone else who placed him in AP's category as a propect is/are delusional.

Darren McFadden was a better prospect than Richardson is.

Agreed.

How has Darren McFadden translated to the NFL?

One or two great games in a row, and then back onto the injury report.

 

[TobyTyler]

I hear Richardson is much slower than advertized

 

[Kinzu]

If he slips to 30 I hope we take him, but I doubt he does. I think he slips out of the top 10 though, but if he slips much further someone will trade up for him.

I actually think that's what Baalke intends to do, but it doesn't have to be for Richardson, Maybe Floyd if he drops far enough.

 

[Flyingiguana]

i wouldn't trade up for a damn running back

 

[Dodub]

I actually like to watch Trent play but he is in no way, shape or form on Adrian Peterson's level. They are completely different runners anyway.

Richardson is a more athletic Blount.

What does that have to do with what type of prospect he was? Doesn't that just show that great prospects don't always develop into great players?

Jamarcus Russel was a great prospect!!!

Jamarcus Russel was a great prospect!!!

brady quinn was better than russell and a better prospect. which isnt saying much.

Are you kidding me?

 

[clyde_carbon]

Not to take anything away from Richardson, but I thought Ingram was a better prospect.

I'd give you rep if I could.

You think he's less athletic? That's ridiculous.

 

[numone9er]

I actually hope he falls to the Rams. I'd much rather face Richardson than Blackmon or Kalil.

Plus one, I really really liked Ingram coming out of college. Loved watching him run and hated the offense he was drafted into.

The guy honestly reminds me of Emmitt.
