NFL combine is Feb. 23 - 29.

 

‏@BrodyMillerIDS: Jason Spriggs has a 5.51 grade, which is considered a rating of someone who has a "chance to become NFL starter" #iufb

 

That's insane. The latest I've seen Spriggs projected is 10 picks into the second and he's a "chance to become" while Howard is projected in the late rounds where everyone grabs random RBs and he is an instant starter?

 

Those grades are confusing.

No clue where that number came from, but Howard's is even better. I don't follow draft stuff to much. We might have to ask Brody Miller. Thanks for the links.

I admit to not understanding everything, but I think the running back has a lot to do with the "life expectancy"  Every team wants a stud running back, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the average running back lasts only 3 years in the NFL.  Teams do not want to draft them really high, because of the salary the first couple of years, and they are injured so much, that there is no bang for the buck. 

I know there are exceptions to every rule, but I think that is the biggest difference.
