Okay, let's try to narrow it down for good here. Dillon and F. Taylor seem to be the best bets, but what about the others that will be taken in the 2nd round of a lot of drafts? Henry will split time, Barlow's team is BAD, D. Davis seems like he will get more carries stolen than we think, Faulk might be done for good, who can you pluck out of the mid-2nd round and certain they will perform???

dillion is the safe pick, he will get plenty of red zone chances.
henry is the clear cut starter for buffalo mcgahee is only gonna be a change of pace
faulk - is good but likely to get injured
westbrook- could be a sleeper he's a gamebreaker
rudi johnson- tough schedule but is the main man, same with barlow
I'll tell you a little secret and you can thank me later. Chris Brown will be better than all these guys mentioned when the dust settles.
He's got a good line, he's young, strong, big, and fast. He's averaging an even 5ypc in the preseason. I'll take an argument about Dillon although I think Brown will get alot more looks and catch the ball more.
D. Davis - rumors of Hollings stealing goalline carries
Henry - McGahee still looming despite the coach speak
Barlow - though a stud, SF flat out sucks which will hurt him alot
R. Johnson - this could be an ok pick as well but I still think Brown will do better

If I can't get him I tend to avoid taking any other backs, but if I am in the right position or someone fell to far I have to go with a RB.
Brown and Griffin are nice guys to pick up later who I think could end up having great seasons.
In one draft I put it all together by drafting Moss in the first, Henry in the second, Griffin in the 3rd, and Brown in the 4th. I was very pleased with that draft.

Hollings is a speed back.
Davis is more of a power back and better between the tackles.
Hollings will get some carries this year, but they won't be goal-line.
Davis will def get the goal-line carries this year.
Rudi - People need to realize that he has a huge threat in Perry behind him. Perry is obviously already the 3rd down back since he is a much better receiver out of the backfield. He is a 1st round pick. If Cinn is out of playoff contention at some point, I think there is a good chance they use Perry alot more.
I would be much more worried about Perry this year then Hollings.
I personally would trust Dillon or Henry the most as a #2. Barlow should be good, but we just don't know.
The two I listed have been doing good things for quite a few years. Dillon with a new team should be fine, and Henry will not lose much if anything to McGahee (maybe the end of the year).
