Why Trent Richardson?

[CrashDavisSports]

Even if we have to use our 3rd this year and maybe another pick to move up a few spots say from 10 to 6th....

Trent Richardson Highlights

A Run that sets him apart - FRESHMAN

His 2011 Highlights

Power for AFC North Football

He is a powerful RB, with good vision, explosion once he hits the open field. He is a perfect back for AFC North Football.

Trade up, up up, nab Richardson

Where do you think the Bengals will be picking? I don't see anyone taking a rb in the 1st half of the 1st round. RBs seem to be a dime a dozen in the NFL now. Very few go in the 1st 15 picks.

WalterFootball.com: 2012 NFL Mock Draft

walter thinks he'll go to Denver, of course Tennessee would be a good option as well, if they can get out of that huge cj2k contract. raiders lose, and we move up.

I think the Raiders will go about 6-10 on the season. I expect them to pick somewhere around 10th.

Richardson is a freak, I expect him to go in the top 10.

I expect to have to move up a little bit if we are going to get him.

There is no way in hell Denver passes on a QB. I have a feeling Kellen Moore will wind up in Denver.

There is a good chance Richardson could fall to around 10-12 range seeing how many teams need a QB, and how many QB;s with great potential are in the upcoming draft. I think Barkley is a second round talent, but he will probably go in about the top 15 because of the need of QB's this year.

A couple other teams may not need a QB, but a team like Carolina who may have a top 10 pick will not need RB either.

There are always at least 1 LT, 1 DE and 1 DT taken in the top 10. Plus, Kirkpatrick, CB from Bama may go top 10 as well.

It is very possible we could pick around 10-15 and still get our hands on Richardson without trading up. he is the perfect RB for the AFC North type football. Ground and Pound.

I wouldn't trade up for him. He isn't Peterson. And I'm not so sure Denver will pick a QB if Tebow keeps winning, regardless of how ugly it is. They are only a game out of the division lead.

It seems pretty blatant to me that Tebow is not Elway's QB. I think if Elway likes either Jones or Barkley and they're there that he takes them. If not they could take Richardson eventhough I think they'd be better served taking an elite LT (if there is one available at the pick). If we're at 10 I'd say about 50/50 that Richardson will be there. I'd say he could be a better prospect than Peterson coming out just based on the fact that he doesnt have the injury question marks (if Peterson didnt ahve those questions he's hands down the best RB prospect in quite some time...since LT at least).

 

[Tubbs1518]

Richardson is no where near the prospect Peterson was. And they have an elite LT in Ryan Clady. No way they should pick a LT.

 

[Servo]

Yeah...I forgot about Clady. He's a good one. Correctomundo. Richardson may not have AP's suddeness and overall skill set but he's still a legit top 10 pick. He's more MJD or Ray Rice than Peterson.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I'll agree with that. He doesn't have the break away speed Peterson has.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

I'll agree with that. He doesn't have the break away speed Peterson has.

He doesn't have the breakaway speed Peterson does, but he DOES have breakaway speed and is a bull. He bounces of tacklers like a bowling ball off pins.

We need that kind of running back for an AFC North team having to play some of the biggest strongest front 7's in football in Pitt and Balt.

Better take cover.

 

[vancelot23]

Nope, no need to rehash that, as much as you'd apparently enjoy that since you brought it up.

 

[flamingrey]

...like you wouldn't know.
