CosmicBills Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Wasn't Thurman Thomas snubbed the entire 1st rd because of a knee injury??This guy is the best back in the draft period. Yes, but I would argue a knee injury is not as bad as a collar bone in the NFL. Knees, once repaired, are at no higher risk of being re-injured. But collar bones tend to keep breaking in the same spot. In my opinion, and it's just that, the two worst injuries for an NFL player are collar bones and achillies. Both usually end careers.
CarolinaBills Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 A.P. slips to us. That said, interestng write up here... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/10050457 Let's go down the Round 1 order: Tampa Bay, Arizona, Washington, Minnesota, Houston and Miami are set at running back. That means Atlanta (No. 10) could start seriously looking at Peterson, even though it has Jerious Norwood and Warrick Dunn who both can still play effectively. San Francisco (No. 11) is set with Frank Gore, but Buffalo (No. 12) now has to be getting excited because Peterson could slide to it. If the Bills sign a veteran, then the Packers (No. 16) might have the big Oklahoma running back at their doorstep. Stranger things have happened in the NFL This mock has him falling to the Bills. http://204.211.226.33/website/Parcel/parcel_main.asp
