Quote:He clearly wanted a bigger back to complement Denard. Yeldon is the only one that fits what theyre looking for of the top few left. 

He may be a big back, but like Taylor he plays like an agility/speed back despite his size. I read his draft profile on NFL.com and I do not understand it. Half the things they listed as his weaknesses are his strengths. He is a vision runner that follows the plays and has good agilty/acceleration, solid speed(not great), and understands game situations. When he is near the end zone he will often just bull rush in like Drew would(though making better use of blockers.) When at midfield he overwhelmingly prefers to avoid contact. He is also similar to Drew in that he is burning to go North/South. He will go wide when needed, but he has no fear whatsoever of going up inside and following the blocking scheme. I am not as willing to say we desperately needed a RB as others(I still believe in Drob) but I like this pick a hell of a lot more than the train wreck at #3.
