[…] 2008 NFL Draft - Week One Offensive Roundup Steve Slaton RB West Virginia: He is not a complete back quite yet, and he will need some work at the next level, as well as to bulk up a little bit, that being said, he is the most exciting RB in the country Darren McFadden included. … […]

With WR prospects, I don’t think that stats matter all that much, so I dont think it will be an issue.

I agree with the comments about Murray or Best… but I was merely saying they are on the same excitement level. I mean, Maurice Jones Drew and Reggie Bush are not LT yet.. but damn if they aren’t exciting

Early Doucet has skills no doubt. I am afraid coaching staff will limit his abilities to stretch the field and statistics, which in turn, would hinder his ‘body of wor’, but we shall see.

I think it’s a bit too early to sing the praises of one DeMarco Murray. The talent is evident for sure, but for a RB that is supposed to be so dynamic I would prefer to see a higher rushing average and better yardage totals in the future.

One game does not place Javid Best in Slaton/McFadden class, to do so is an injustice to their track record.

C.J. Spiller is very exciting. I just want to see consistant performances game ina d game out before I put him in the Slaton/McFadden discussions.

I thought Doucet’s skill was evident despite the vanilla offense of LSU. We will get a good read this week vs Brandon Flowers and the rest of the VTech defense.

I also think C.J. Spiller or DeMarco Murray can rival Slaton as the “most explosive back” in the country.. or perhaps Cal freshman Jahvid Best.
