NFL Draft Day:Close Calls: RBs Wells or Moreno?

[Coachnorm]

RB Chris"Beannie" Wells Ohio State

or

RB Knowshon Moreno Georgia


They are both highly ranked and it seems like they will go 1-2 about the same time in the draft. All RBs have different attributes, strengths and weakness and teams may be looking more for one style more than another.

This Poll is more along the Lines of who you think is the Best RB.

Now If you want to vote for one as the best but you think the other will be drafted first I would love to hear your prediction posted below as sometimes the best back doesn't get drafted first. Who is drafted first should be a vbookie event probably.

I like Knowshon Moreno better than I do Beannie Wells. I spoke about this on the last radio show. It's because I worry a bit about Well's durability. With that said, I think Wells will be selected first.

Did you vote, I had to go back in and edit the poll, check again please.

We may be talking about these backs more in the next years. After the draft we will probably need a poll to see who posters think landed on the best team for them.

I think Wells goes first, but as far as who will be the better back, that is a tough one. I feel Wells is the more talented back, but that takes nothing away from Moreno, kid is great as well. It all come down to Wells health IMO. When he is healthy and on the field he will flat out produce. Guy is a vicious runner and has enough speed to finish a run.

Where these two land will play a big role in who I rank higher going into a dynasty draft. I like both of these two long term, along with McCoy out of this draft.

Like Miller I have the top 3 tightly grouped and where they end up will have alot to do with any final rankings. Wells and Moreno have been flip flopping in my personal rankings all offseason but I would give a slight edge to Wells and I imagine the final tie breaker was a preference for runners out of the Big 10.

I like Wells as the more traditional "workhorse" back due to his size and style. He runs upright, like Eddie George, but he's more shifty and can avoid huge hits.
Moreno is a more well-rounded guy who could get 50+ receptions a year and it wouldn't surprise me a bit. Plus he doesn't need to come out on 3rd down due to being a competent blocker.

For some reason, I can't shake this recurring thought that in 3 years we'll be talking about Donald Brown being the best RB in this draft though.

Moreno. Wells will be an injury issue.

K.Moreno

I wasn't sure if I should have had Donald Brown as a choice. Maybe I should have had and other slot. I'm not sure if Brown is the best back in the draft but I do consider him very underrated when it comes to all the draft speculation so far.

I am also going with Moreno because of Wells injury issues.

 

[DearbornDolfan]

Leaving Wells' injury issues aside, I'm going with Moreno because I think he's the better back.

 

[Miller]

From a fantasy impact, I can't wait to see where both of them land....

My guesses:
Wells to Denver
Moreno to Arizona
