As decided upon and compiled by Hardnosed, FC and Iron_City, here is the second installment in our draft series.

1. Darren McFadden - Arkansas - 6020 - 215

Bio: A two time runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, McFadden was a pure "athlete" at Oak Grove High School in North Little Rock, Arkansas. McFadden played a variety of positions, including getting his first exposure as a part time option quarterback, a role he would successfully revisit in Arkansas' Wildcat/WildHog formation. Despite leaving after 3 seasons, McFadden is one of the most decorated players in the history of college football, in more ways than one. Has a number of bar-related off-field incidents on his record, including a fight outside an establishment in Little Rock that concluded with McFadden kicking a man until his shoe came off, then dislocating his toe on the pavement.

Outlook: A rare breed of size, speed, and athleticism. The best pure runner since LaDanian Tomlinson. No way this cat drops out of the top 10 and will probably land with the Falcons at #3 or the New York Jets at pick #6.

NFL Comparison: LaDanian Tomlinson

Positives: Mcfadden has a great combination of power and speed...What makes him elite is vision...He finds cracks and attacks the hole. He has home run speed...He can out run players with the angle. Franchise back. Great kick returner. Negatives: At this point not a 3 down back...Needs work in the passing game. He is not the most willing blocker.

2. Jonathan Stewart - Oregon - 5011 - 230

Bio: Was ranked by ESPN as the #2 prep recruit in the country in 2004 after rushing for 1,000 yards in all four seasons of his high school career. Stewart spurned Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC and stayed closer to home. Led the nation in kickoff return average (33.7) as a freshman, with 2 touchdowns. Scored 9 touchdowns in 72 touches. Lifted a team-high combined squat, press and bench at 1,342 pounds. His only season over 1,000 yards (2007) was the only season he wasn't fighting lower leg injuries.

Outlook: A gritty runner who combines athleticism and speed with raw power. He's a tough tackle for anyone and is almost certain to break the tackle in the open field on a defensive back. After seeing Duece McCallister tear another ACL, he could be a surprise pick for the Saints at #10 or fall to the Cards at pick # 16.

NFL Comparison: Fred Taylor

Positives: Fantastic balance..He breaks most arm tackles. Big back 235 pounds with great feet...Runs hard and physical...Attacks defenders. He has the speed to get the corner...He is alot more Fred Taylor then Lendale White. Stewart has excellent hands and he is a willing blocker.. Also a great returner. Negatives: He has some injury issues...Nothing serious.

3. Rashard Mendenhall - Illinois - 5011 - 224

Bio: Was a consensus top 25 recruit coming out of high school in Skokie, Illinois, where he was all-state in football and track. Saw limited playing time as a true freshman, but truly broke out as a sophomore, leading the Big Ten in yards per carry at 8.2. Carried the Illini to their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1984.

Outlook: A bruising runner with a dense frame and perfect pad level. Showed the ability to take it to the house in the bowl game. Showed a patient running style and possibly the best receiver of the top backs. A perfect fit for the Texans at pick #18.

NFL Comparison: Larry Johnson

Positives: Great size and speed..Runs hard with a great body lean. Maybe the best runner between the tackles in this draft. Fights for every yard. Neagtives: Fumbles...Needs a ton of work on ball security.

4. Felix Jones - Arkansas - 6000 - 207

Bio: Chose Arkansas at the last minute after verbally committing to Oklahoma State. Would be a lot more well-known if he had stuck with the Cowboys. Despite sitting behind the prolific McFadden, Jones has more 1,000 yard seasons to his credit than Stewart or Mendenhall.

Outlook: A one cut runner with mad explosiveness and good patience. Is a threat to go yard every time he touches the ball. Thinner frame wont allow him to be a 3 down back early on and will fill the platoon role with Marion Barber and the Dallas Cowboys nicely at pick #22.

NFL Comparison: Ryan Grant

Positives: Sprinters Speed..Can score from anywhere on the field. Excels in space....Very elusive. Very under rated hands in the passing game. Great kick returner. Negatives: Not an every down NFL back...Great compliment and situational weapon...Can he carry the ball between the tackles in the NFL?

5. Chris Johnson - East Carolina - 5104 - 195 - 3002 - 704

Bio: In high school, ran anchor for the fastest 4x100 team in the nation. Made an immediate impact as a freshman as both a running back and as a kick returner. Had neck surgery after 2005 season. Though he catches the ball well, he's got extremely small hands, even for his size.

Outlook: He claims he’ll challenge the forty yard dash time at the combine. Great hips and hits 5th gear as fast as anyone in the game. Smaller frame will relegate him to 3rd down duties and could be a surprising pick of the SF 49ers in the 2nd round.

NFL Comparison: Reggie Bush

Positives: Pure Speed...Great agility. Could be the fastest player at the combine. Great returner. If he finds day light he's gone. Negatives: Very small...Doesnt break many tackles or run hard. Not willing runner between the tackles...Wants no part of pass blocking.

6. Kevin Smith - Central Florida - 6010 - 220

Bio: Committed to George O'Leary and Central Florida as a top prep out of Miami for the chance to start early. He started as a freshman and went over 1,000 yards. Had a season for the ages before declaring as a junior, rushing for 100 yards or more in 10 games and scoring 30 combined touchdowns. His weight is currently listed by various sources as being as low as 211 pounds and as high as 235 pounds.

Outlook: A nice one cut runner whose drawn comparisons to Marcus Allen with his ability to get skinny through a crease. Very productive collegiate runner and will be productive in a single back attack like the Oakland Raiders in round 3.

NFL Comparison: Willis McGahee

Positives: Great burst and cutting ability. Great vision...Set's up blocks Nimble in the hole...Has game speed and runs hard. Decent hands. Negatives: Runs tall...Doesnt finish every run. Not the fastest back. Needs some work in blitz pickup.

7. Matt Forte - Tulane - 6011 - 221 - 3106 - 903

Bio: Returned from an injury-shortened 2006 to notch a dominant season as a senior in which he ran for 200 or more yards 5 times and 300 or more yards twice. Was the MVP of the UnderArmour Senior Bowl, a week where he vastly improved his draft stock.

Outlook: A fast riser after a strong Senior bowl week has put this complete RB on the scouts radar. A complete and all around back with good vision that could draw attention from the Seattle Seahawks in the 2nd round.

NFL Comparison: Duece McCallister

Positives: Power runner with a GREAT burst. Very good hands and willing blocker in the passing game.Quality cutting ability and agility. Mix of Bam Morris and Barry Foster Negatives: Doesnt have great timed speed...Slight ball security issues. Runs upright...He has a ton of college carries on his body(833)

8. Ray Rice - Rutgers - 5090 - 205

Bio: Led his high school team to a state championship as a junior. Finished his freshman season with over 1,100 yards of rushing, despite not starting until late in the season. Set school single-game rushing records in both of his final two collegiate games, rushing for 243 yards against Army and then topping that record by rushing for 280 yards against Bowling Green in the International Bowl

Outlook: A compact back that is tough to bring down and shows good burst through the hole. Has a nice arsenal in the open field but his times at the combine will make or break his draft status. Could be a nice platoon player for a team like the Miami Dolphins at the top of round 4. NFL Comparison: Maurice Jones Drew

Positives: Very hard runner for a smallish built back Runs with a low center of gravity...He runs like hes 6-2 250. Great first step and quickness....He can cut on a dime. He some shake...He will make tacklers miss alot of tackles. Rice is a weapon out of the back field...Decent hands Negatives: Size...Durability...Can he take the beating of the NFL...Size may limit Rice to a change of pace back.

9. Steve Slaton - West Virginia - 5010 - 195

Bio: Originally was intended to play defensive back for the Mountaineers. Instead, he immediately made an impact as a freshman after climbing the running back depth chart. Ran for 1,000 yards and had at least 15 touchdowns in each of his collegiate seasons. After barely being used out of the backfield as a freshman, he caught 53 balls his last two seasons.

Outlook: Came out after a disappointing Junior campaign but has the wheels to be a gamebreaker. Small, elusive, and shifty but breaks more tackles than you may think. A one cut runner who could excel in a zone style offense of the Denver Broncos in round 4.

NFL Comparison: Lawrence Maroney

Positives: Slaton is tough runner for a smaller back...Very good pass receiver...Above average speed and quickness. He is willing to run the ball between the tackles and he will fight for yards. Negatives: Small and fraile...He will disappear in big games. Size limitations...Not an every down NFL back

10. Tashard Choice - Georgia Tech - 5105 - 210 - 3002 - 901

Bio: Transferred from Oklahoma to Georgia Tech after sitting behind Kejuan Jones, Renaldo Works and Adrian Peterson over his first two seasons. Choice shared time with P.J. Daniels for a season before winning the ACC rushing title in 2006.

Outlook: An underappreciated north and south runner who isn’t afraid to pound it between the tackles. Shows patience and vision with limited mistakes. Could be a very nice addition to your very own Pittsburgh Steelers in the 4th round.

NFL Comparison: Willie Parker

Positives: Power runner...Runs alot bigger then 210 pounds. Huge lower body. Runs with a great body lean. He can make players miss...Pure North/ South Runner Negatives: doesnt have break away speed...1 major knee injury. Struggles when his pad are turned.
