TR and Mo Claiborne are early the ones with the most potential, but there are a lot of really good SEC players going into the NFL after last night, who do you think will have the best career?
The one reason I don't think it will be TR is bc RB's are used so deifferenty now a days, I think he will have a very good career but not the best of all these guys. It's gotta be someone on defense, I think it will be Mo (yes I'm biased)
Eta: Upshaw didn't go in the first round, I'm retarted

TR is a can't miss in my book. Brokers is another one. I like Mo, but there is always risk with DBs IMO. The NFL is a different beast.

I would say TR, but it is so hard to tell with RB's if they will have some freak injury. I realize TR hasn't had a whole lot of injury problems in his career, but he also hasn't had to carry the load all that much. He's got a shot to be something special though.

No. 3: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama to the Cleveland Browns
No. 6: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU to the Dallas Cowboys
No. 7: Mark Barron, S, Alabama to the Tampa Bay Bucs
No. 10: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina to the Buffalo Bills
No. 12: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State to the Philadelphia Eagles
No. 14: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU to the St. Louis Rams
No. 17: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama to the Cincinnati Bengals
No. 18: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina to the San Diego Chargers
No. 25: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Alabama to the New England Patriots
=============
For ease of reference.

I would say TR but he landed on the Browns - that makes him no longer a sure thing

Looking at list could be Hightower. Bellycheck is a master of getting best use out of guys and has no problem with playing 10, 12, 14 year vets.

Tailbacks are often misses, due to injury and/or shitty O lines, inability to pick up the blitz

It's tough, I think 5-6 of these guys will end up being really good pro players.
If TR ends up being like AP then I'm sure it will be him; but if he is just a solid guy like say Marshawn Lynch, a few of these other guys will end up having better careers

TR is a great great CFB player but you have to remember....in the NFL he's not running over or past anyone...it's a different level. Plus nowadays the RB has unfortunately been greatly devalued.
