Philly can't say they draft based on Character

220 lbs.  Averaged 4.9 YPC and ran for over 1K as a rookie.  Don't know if he can pass block but he's a big back.  

Don't really get why the Falcons felt a need to draft a RB in the Top 10 and draft over him.

Our 2nd, our 3rd probably and our 1st

It would have to include this years and next years first + to move up that much

From 28 to 7 over ATL would have cost at least 2 first and 2 seconds.

He'll fit right in to that cesspool of a city.

Good. Keep Carter in the NFC

Bears get an extra pick and still get their guy. good form

That wasn't the reason why we didn't make it to the SB last year.... OL depth killed us

Joe is in Gameday form... Bi-polar

In this case it really doesn't. RBs are notoriously terrible value in the first, especially high first. The drop off between Robinson and a back in the second or third round is not nearly as steep as some believe. 

I want the Bengals to draft a RB and upgrade, believe me. However, if they would have traded all the way up for Bijan I would have had an aneurysm. It would have been an absolutely terrible move.

No SB sacks. I don't sweat Carter.

but he does actually replace the Perine Role very well......hmmmmm


I kinda want that trade now

He's not much of a receiving threat at all, though.

Yeah probably so

Damn Carter looks really out of shape even in a suit. Doesn’t look like the same guy they are showing highlights of.

In no way does Darnell Wright fall to #28.

Chicago just drafted Darnell Wright at #10

Atlanta calls offering Kyle Pitts for #28.

Who says no?

I think Forbes is gonna be there could be between him and Gibbs would be a hard choice.

there goes LT #2

Well, the "Wright to the Bengals" mockers are 18 picks off.
