Historically running backs drop and you can get some bargains. Gerald Riggs Jr. I think would be a nice pick very late in the draft.

I think that makes a lot of sense. For the type of scheme they play, he would be perfect for what they need.

I think this is a pretty good draft class overall. It's really shaping up that way because of the underclassmen. Usually, they're the key factor in whether a draft is good or not. It's very deep at a lot of positions.

At one point in time, I thought he'd be a first-round pick. He's not productive enough, he's up and down, he flashes. He's got that huge frame. I put him in the second round to Oakland. Somebody in the second round is rolling the dice. If you ask me where he grades out, he doesn't grade out that high. Because you want that guy inside that makes more plays, makes more of an impact and maximizes that ability on a game-to-game basis. That's not a Gabe Watson. I'd say second round and a roll of the dice pick.

They've been aggressive with Andy Reid. Maybe they move up a couple of spots. I can't speak for them, but at 14 if they feel insecure at getting Justice at that point, then they could jump ahead of either Detroit or Minnesota.

This kid is unique. If he was just a running back who had mediocre hands, then he wouldn't be the No. 1 pick. He's the No. 1 pick because he's a superlative runner.

He's very much like a Shannon Sharpe-type of player. When you look at his pass-catching ability, it's unbelievable. But now, blocking is something that he needs to develop.

He's looked at as being light. But he definitely has the frame to add more weight.
