Re: Should We or Could We Draft Steve Slaton from West Virginia
I've thought the Skins do need to look at running backs in the upcoming draft, but if I were going to draft one, it would NOT be Steve Slaton. I think the guy is a fantastic college back, but I don't know if he can hold up at this level. He's going to take a beating and he's not that big of a guy. At 5-10, 195 he's not that small, but he's certainly not a very large guy and I don't see where he's as big as a Barry Sanders or a Michael Turner. He just seems like he's going to have to rely on speed and I'm not sure that will work for him in the NFL. I could be wrong, but I don't know about Steve Slaton as an NFL back.
If I were the Skins I would be drooling over Darren McFadden, but if anyone at the top of the draft needs a back, he'll probably go in the top 5. |

Being a WVU fan, I love Slaton. He is as big as Portis, plus coming into the NFL he would put on probably 10-15 pounds. He is exceptionally quick, good speed. He has power as well, very tough to bring down. I dont see him being drafted until bottom 20, just because its WVU he is playing for. I dont know that he is the answer though. I have no idea where they would go with this draft. its too early to be talking about the draft anyway. |
