Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Later Round Running Backs

Here's a few names to toss around:
Xavier Omon
James Davis
Mike Hart
Matt Forte
Ryan Torain

Star-divide

These are all backs that we'd see selected in the third or later that I think it'd be good to take a  serious look at. Obviously, they all have some sort of question mark or limitation (or they'd be a higher round selection).

I haven't seen any of these guys play, besides Hart. However, reading what I have, I think these five guys have really solid potential to be productive backs in the NFL. I like Hart's toughness and leadership, despite his lack of size. I'm intrigued by Davis but like I said I haven't seen much. I really think Omon and Torain could be really good backs if given the proper training and coaching.

I think if we get one of these guys in the later rounds, we'd be happy with that selection. in addition, it will allow us to concentrate on selecting a solid OT and QB in the first two rounds. What are your thoughts on these five?

doubt hart lasts
he'll be gone by the 3rd round. he was incredibly productive in a great conference. lloyd carr's lack of imagination w/ the offensive playbook (hey, sounds like somebody we know) forced hart to run more than he should have, into defenses knowing what was coming (seriously, where have i heard of this before????), which almost certainly produced the assortment of injuries he's had the past few years.
