The Sports Network gave them a grade of a B+, but beyond Ngata I'm not enamored with any of these picks. What do you guys think?

PJ Daniels can be a quality RB but he was injured too often at Ga. Tech. He does run hard though and does appear to have a nose for the endzone.

Hey Grozny my man...glad to see you are back to the Forum...here is the scouting report on Daniels:



Pros: A powerfully built runner who gains huge amounts of yardage after contact. His fine lower body strength allows him to run through tacklers and consistently move the chains. He has fine natural running skills, making defenders miss consistently, and can put several moves together with nice lateral quickness. He runs mainly in a north-south style and gets to the second level often with adequate speed.
Cons: He could rank higher, but his lack of durability has been a serious concern. He also needs to show more development as a receiver and blocker to be ready for more than backup duty. Lacks the breakaway speed to hit the long gainer regularly, which keeps him from the upper echelon of runners. His lack of return skills further limits his draft status.
Numbers: As a senior, he rushed for 930 yards on 198 carries for a 4.7 yards-per-carry average with 3 TDs and 21 receptions for 174 yards and 1 TD. At the combine, he ran a poor 4.61 time with a 33-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 8–inch broad jump. He did 21 reps in the lifting.
