If he fumbles a lot, forget it.2) Pass blocking. Can he? If not, disconsider him.3) Style of run. He needs to be a one-cut runner. Probably will stay away from spread offenses, where RBs don't line up on an I formation, and certinly from gimmicky offenses like LSU...4) Hands. TT will probably focus on a guy that can catch the ball.Of course, if a guy like Mark Ingram falls to us, that kind of talent overshadows the pre-requisites. But it's rare for it to happen. None of the RBs available to us in the last 3 drafts fit any of those molds, except for Ray Rice. TT failed on that. I'm not unhappy with Jordy, though...If you look at past 3 drafts, except for Rice, and maybe Forte, there wasn't any RB that we missed...</blockquote>
