Antonio Pittman

[watermock]

First, as a Hawkeye, I hat Ohio State, and I have to say that this video influenced me in the mock draft, but he seems like a prototypical run and cut, fighter that can still read with vision and bust it outside if that's the line.

His stock rose after he was called slow then ran a 4.4 at pro day. This video shows some vision that Tater Tot could only dream of.

Really good leg drive after contact as well.

But how does he rank in regards to next years RB draft class that figures to be extremely deep?

??? Antonio Pittman declared for this year's draft.

I know that. My question is about spending a draft pick on Pittman this year or wait until next year when there may be better RB prospects out there considering there figures to be so many?

I really like pittman. I think he would be better than anything we currently have. but I also agree that there are some franchise type backs in next years draft. Mcfadden is amazing I definately have a man crush on that fool.

Exactly. I'd be perfectly happy if this was the first year in memory where the Broncos didn't draft a RB. I like Pittman a lot, but I think this year is deep on the DL, and we should take advantage of that as its a position of need.

Next year should be the year we go after a RB. I'm excited about Henry and Mike. I think that Henry is a huge upgrade over Tatum, and Bell will be an upgrade over himself. Add that to considerably fewer 8-9 man fronts, and I think our running game is set up to be as good as it's been in a handful of years.

I will be perfectly fine if we start the season with Henry, Bell, Cobbs, and Sapp to come in if needed.

[Barry Ramey]

It's not that I don't like Pittman, but seems to me the DL has to be addressed in this draft and I'm not sure using one pick is enough either. And not sure if wise to use a pick on Pittman, which would have to be a 2nd or 3rd rounder at least to get him, when they could easily be taking a RB next year that might be even a better prospect than Pittman. Not to mention it looks like they may need to use one of the higher picks on a LB now too with the Wilson situation.

I'm on board with taking this guy 3rd round or later if he is there.

I'm definitly not on board for Cobbs, but since the tragedy of Nash, we may have to settle for him.

At this point I believe Andre Hall stands a much better chance of making the roster as the 3rd back than Cobbs does.

He's the only back on the current roster who's a true receiving threat and an open-field threat. Scouts thought his running style was tailored to the ZBS, and he also can return kicks.

I want a rerun of the year we picked three CB's -- only this time we pick DT and DE. Throw in a dask of S, and OT on the second day.

Why do I have this sick feeling that we are going to suprise everyone with a WR, to create the new Amigos?

Good point about Hall. He could surprise.

I'd much rather have him! I forgot about him actually.
