Thread: RR's 2013 mock draft 2.0

Joseph Randle and Stepfan Taylor are two of the best pass blocking backs in this draft, either one would easily fit the Broncos offensively and could be a primary tailback here.

I totally agree that for us Taylor is a good fit, far better than guys like Ellington, Bernard or Franklin that I listed. I was just suggesting that a lot of other teams would prefer the speed and explosiveness of these other guys, and that as a result Taylor may slide (see his 40 time).

Scouts are not paying attention to his 40 time because they feel his game speed and overall explosiveness overshadow it.

Idk I don't see Taylor getting drafted higher then the 3rd rd. He's quick and follows his blocks but he kind of reminds me of Moreno in terms of a slowish RB

He has a solid second round grade and less wear then a number of backs in this draft.
