[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 761711, member: 12283"] What about when you're saying it before they're drafted? Is that still hindsight? And obviously, I do not think recognizing that Badger running backs often get overdrafted means you miss out on guys like Clement... I am the one who thinks they're often overrated and I was the only guy I was aware before the draft that was interested in Clement. It just means, in my opinion, that if they're going to get [I]over[/I]drafted, you let someone else do it. To be clear, I would absolutely use the same caution when assessing Alabama running backs. The trend is more pronounced at Wisconsin, but not exclusive to it. But the difference at Alabama is that their backs, who also benefit from running behind great lines, are often top-notch athletes themselves, whereas Wisconsin has more often had middling talents who have been made to look better than they are. But to be sure, you still get guys like T.J. Yeldon who looked like 3 down studs for the Tide but are really role players in the NFL. Ohio State is not the best example to lump in with the other two. Since 2000, they've only had three backs go in the top 3 rounds (Elliott, Hyde, and Wells), and two of them hit. [/QUOTE]
