2.12 RB Dwayne Wright, BUF

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 24th, 2007, 08:43 PM

Going with a fellow WAC player here... had the chance to watch him a couple of times vs. my UH Warriors. He's a solid RB... who's battled back from some major injuries, but now feels stronger than ever. He's a dad with two young kids, and has a GREAT work ethic. He can block & catch well... and is even elusive in the open field. I know he's playing 2nd fiddle to the much-hyped Marshawn Lynch... but for a late 2nd round rookie pick, I'll take my chances.

They're looking at making him into a short yardage back, maybe even goaline. The Coaches are pretty high on him from what I've read in the local press. He may have some FF value, the ceiling isn't super high, but we're 30+ picks into the draft, so thats to be expected.

I had him under consideration for 3.2.

I have a feeling that he and Marshawn will both get some playing time. Maybe not a true RBBC but I think he is a value here.

I heard an interview with him on ESPN radio a month or so ago... very articulate. Seems to have his head screwed on right. Is definitely a hard-worker. I have no grandiose visions of him being the next "Mike Bell"... but want to give some props to the WAC boys!

Damn, that was my next pick. I had to RBs lined up back to back...didn't matter who was first...maybe I should have gone the other way!!!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe... I wouldn't have picked Kolby Smith at this spot.

Now you're torturing me, I'm on tilt - got to calm down before next pick.

The Magic 8-Ball can also be VERY helpful in situations such as this!
