[Big C]

yeah kinda confused here, since we got our bruiser in round 4...will have to hear gibbs explanation. will probably say he was the highest on their board or something

[monk81]

Well we drafted yet another FB.......Broughton/Citadel......
POSITIVES: Built like a truck with stocky legs and a thick frame. Workhorse back with good power and strength to pound it inside. Strong runner. At his best between tackles. Runs with good pad level and nice balance. Has natural hands. Solid blocker. Self starter with good work ethic.

NEGATIVES-Has not faced tough competition. Not very elusive and lacks lateral quickness. Does not have the speed to bounce it outside or go the distance. Only knows one speed. Musclebound and stiff with limited flexibility that affects his route running.

Summary-Built like a typical Steeeler bulldozing back, but looked lie just a guy at the Senior Bowl and will be a fullback for most teams........


Don't you love those colorful descriptions

P.S. Did anyone else notice that silly shirt Andy Reid had on........hahahaha

His nickname is WHAT sapien?

I have a nickname for him ROTTEN BROUGHTON.

[drew54]

I think he was the top rated FB according to SI. He also was considered a day one prospect to them so I am sure that we took him due to highest guy on our board.

GREAT PICKUP!!!!!! I have wanted this guy all along. I don;t know why we got the FB from UCLA but because this guy is going to be a stud. He is huge, has great hands, and can block. Best pick of day 2 for us!!!!

[wolfeskins]

you guys think this might be joe's way of improving the special teams ? just a thought.

From what I have seen of him he is a punishing guy between the tackles. He should be a great compliment to Portis as long as he stays healthy. He also has great hands out of the backfield. He is a huge guy. I was completely blown away when I saw him run at the combine were he timed at 4.55.

could it be gibbs is gonna turn these guys into hbacks???

[drew54]

I think White will be a HB and a short yardage RB. This could be the end of Ladell Betts.

[MTK]

I think we're gearing up for some serious heavy jumbo around the goal line

[drew54]

It cant hurt the special teams.

I still think some of these picks might be projects for HB or TE.
