    What?!? Wow... I'm impressed. I always thought Kiper was a pretty fair guy, but this is surprising. Hester is deserving, I just never imagined a white dude from Northern La. would make the top 3 of senior RBs and get these kinds of props.

    GEAUX HESTER!

    Hesters a stud, no doubt about it, but what surprises me is where doe's D Mcfadden enter in to all this?

    He's a Jr, so he isn't ranked in that list. He will be ranked in the top 3 on most boards.

    Sorry guys, got a little befuddled. For some reason I was thinking he was a Sr this year.

    I can't see any NFL team giving JH a shot at tailback. He's definitely a fullback-type runner, even when he's dotting the I. Whoever takes him will probably have him put on 20-25 pounds, and turn him into a Mike Alstott clone.

    i agree with mctiger i dont see hester at tailback in the NFL heck isnt ray rice a senior. Must be a down year for running backs.

    oh yeah i think someone said that if mcfadden leaves he will be in the top three. no way he will definately be the 1st back taken and if felix jones leaves he want be far behind mcfadden in the draft he will be a 1st rounder also.

    He's not fast enough to be an NFL RB, but not quite big enough for a FB. So I agree with mctiger that some club will bulk him up a bit to play FB. Thing is, he's a way better runner and pass catcher than most NFL FB's. He's kind of an anomaly.

    At any rate, I'm pumped that he's getting all this pub. No one deserves it more than he does.

    Matt Forte - Tulsa ?
    I would expect Mel do do his homework a little better than that. Or is he getting lazy and having others do is work for him ?
