I like Portis but man id love to have Forte. He ran great at Tulane and was a beast at the Senior Bowl. When he was drafted by the Bears in the 2nd round last year I thought they got the steal of the draft. He looked really good as a rookie for Chicago. He can knock people over and still has the speed to make long runs. He also caught 63 passes last year. With a year under his belt and Jay Cutler in Chicago hes going to be that much better in 2009.
