Stick to Your Board Mock 3/29

I really like Benson for us.  He's not going to create a bunch on his own, but similar to what we saw from Brown last year, give him a hole and he'll pop a huge gainer.  He's got bellcow size at 225 and a physical style between the tackles.  He's also arguably the best pass pro back in this class, and finding RB's that are plus pass protectors coming out of college is rare.  He's just a legit 3 down back that can stay on the field regardless of the situation or play call.

Wright was basically a pure BPA pick, and fairly easy to justify due to Williams and Evans being so bad.  Plus, how much confidence does the addition of Moss really give you?

The common thing I like about both is they both have legitimate 4.3 speed.  For an RPO heavy offense, I like having a back with legit home run speed to keep pass rushers honest in their run fits knowing that if the back gets to the second level, it's going to be a huge gainer or a TD.  With Mixon, he may have gotten you 10 yards.
