Comments:
Goodbye, Edgerrin James… Hello, Joseph Addai.  Addai is a great pickup at the tail end of the first round.  He should give Dominic Rhodes and anyone else a run for the starting spot.  Jennings has very good coverage skills, vertical leap, and the all-important speed.  Keiaho lacks size, but is very intense about the game.  Toudouze is big, athletic, and raw.  Considering he made his All-Mountain West team, he has some upside.  Johnson will be a project.  Bethea is very fast, but isn’t the greatest cover guy. He should get better if given a real shot.  Rushing is short, but fast and has excellent return ability on special teams.
ENDSCORE GRADE: C+
