| 1.NAJEH
DAVENPORT - Miami - Senior
Davenport is a great combination of
size and speed. He has played some Fullback in college but he has all the
skills necessary to be an NFL feature back. He also catches the ball pretty
well out of the backfield. |
 |
| 2.CEDRIC COBBS - Arkansas
- Junior
That forty time was recorded at the
Arkansas Pro Day and if he can run even close to that again, he'll
top this list. His sophomore season was cut short by an injury, only time
will tell if he's recovered. |
 |
| 3.TJ DUCKETT - Michigan
State - Junior
Duckett is a man among boys athletically.
His physical, punishing running style has drawn comparisons to Earl Campbell.
His talents are rare and he could very well be the first runner selected
if he were to come out. |
 |
| 4.DeSHAUN FOSTER -
UCLA - Senior
Foster is as talented as any other
back but injuries have hampered him. If he can prove that he can stay healthy
for an entire season, he is worthy of a top 15 selection. |
 |
| 5.LEE SUGGS - Virgina
Tech - Junior
Suggs has nice measurables. Great
speed to go along with nice size. He has shown a nose for the endzone.
To move up, he will have to show that he can catch the ball out of the
backfield. |
 |
| 6.DEREK WATSON - South
Carolina - Junior
Watson is a great talent but his off
the field problems have dropped him. He faces being suspended indefinitely
from the team and as a result will have to either transfer or enter the
draft early. |
 |
| 7.MAURICE MORRIS -
Oregon - Senior
Morris is a JUCO transfer who made
a big impact with the Ducks in his first year. He has nice size and strength
and has shown decent hands. How high he goes will depend on the status
of underclassmen. |
 |
| 8.DAMIEN ANDERSON -
Northwestern - Senior
Anderson is the top college back.
He puts up numbers like no other back but he lacks respect when it comes
to draft status. If he can have another big year and run a good forty,
he could make a Tomlinson-like move up. |
 |
| 9.ADRIAN PETERSON -
Georgia Southern - Senior
Peterson is one of the top small school
guys in the draft. He has great power and strength. His level of competition
is a concern as is his position. He has played Fullback before in college.
He may be a 1-back type. |
 |
| 10.JONATHON WELLS -
Ohio State - Senior
Wells is a bigger back who shared
the carries with Derek Combs last year. He gets his chance now. He is a
nice prospect who will have to have a big year to move up further. |
