Published 4/2/2008 by JJ Cooper at FanHouse
... you're looking for a theme, most of the Big 10 busts have been power backs who have pounded their way between the tackles to big college careers. Dayne, Duckett and Enis were all among the biggest backs in their draft. They all proved unable to hit the hole quick enough to be a consistent every-down back in the NFL.

I admit there’s still a tiny sliver of belief that it could happen and my guy Shango is trying to keep the dream alive, but I’m not sold, no matter how I work out the top of the draft I just don’t see McFadden getting past the Jets at #6. So I’ll move on to the next big name in the running back crop, Rashard Mendenhall. Likelihood of being a Cowboy: 4.7% It would take a ...

... will do his best to keep you all entertained with the latest Steeler news. My head may surface here and there in the comments. But predominantly I'll be imposing radio silence until May 13 or 14, depending on how many days it takes me to recover from the traumatic events of May 5 (Criminal Law), May 8 (Civil Procedure), and May 12 (Lawyering).
