@ SportsVox
I think the Cleveland duo is talented but the passing game and offensive conservativeness will hold each player back. I’d take a flyer on either of them but it would need to be in the late rounds.

@ Mike Vukobrat
Mike, Thomas is a great RB2 with a chance to breakout into RB1 status.

@ Dahm,
Thanks for looking into the crystal ball.

@ Chad
Williams has to go first but the 5th isn’t too early for Stewart. Nothing wrong with grabbing both if that’s where the value lies.

Jerome Harrison is the real deal guys. I caught some glimpses of his skill two years ago when he would step in for Jamaal Lewis from time to time. When given the opportunity, Harrison explodes like a fighting bull!!! Draft him if he’s available and don’t woory about Hardesty!!!

Hey Chad! You are never going to win a championship in a good league by focusing on two RB’s on the same team and in the same system! You grab what you need if it’s available! However, I did grab Ray Rice in the seventh or eight round of a twelve team league last year, and subsequently drafted McGahee very late because nobody took the bait. I actually won many weeks in the first month playing both Rice and McGahee, but once Rice took off = McGahee never was relevant again. I actually won the title last year and that was my second in a row. Just grab what’s good if it’s available, kinda like women LOL

What do you think of grabbing both running backs in a good system, like the Carolina situation? Is that too “safe” of a move to win a leauge? If not too conservative of a move, when is too early to draft the second of the two?

It is Felix Jones, Marion Barber and Tashard Choice. In that order, just so you know how it will fall out!

Harrison did look good at the end of last season but that’s really his only solid stretch of production in four years. I think the most you can hope from him is a split of carries with Hardesty. More likely, by midseason he will be he backup, fulfilling more of a pass catching role.

Harrison looked good in Dec last year. Since the offense is so poor I thought he would get the majority of the carries??? What do you think?

I wouldnt worry too much about Reggie bush taking touches away from Thomas. I would just draft Thomas and wait patiently for Bush to get injured. You know its going to happen sooner or later, hes so fragile. Meanwhile, Thomas will make a good rb2 while your waiting.
