2003 Rookie Draft Class

Runningbacks

Name

REC

Willis McGahee
Miami (Fla.)

38	50	50	50	44	60
38	56	56	50	50	15
38	44	44	50	38	15
6	6	6	6	6	10

Outlook: McGahee is one of the premier running backs in this year's crop, with good speed and decent hands coming out of the backfield. It should be noted that McGahee suffered a potentially career-ending injury in the National Championship game and there's a chance he'll never see a down of WTF action. McGahee's upside should see him selected before the end of the first round.

Tecmo comparison: Gary Anderson

Name

REC

Larry Johnson
Penn State

38	56	50	50	38	70
38	63	56	50	44	10
38	50	44	50	31	20

Outlook: Johnson is a tough, between-the-tackles runner who has the top-end speed to take it the distance any time he touches the ball. He will immediately become a focal point on offense for whichever team drafts him.

Tecmo comparison: Emmitt Smith

Name

REC

Musa Smith
Georgia

38	38	25	50	38	70
38	44	31	50	44	20
31	31	19	50	31	10

Outlook: Smith is a 3rd down style back, with decent hands out of the backfield.

Tecmo comparison: Todd McNair

Name

REC

Chris Brown
Colorado

38	44	50	50	31	70
44	50	56	50	38	15
38	38	44	50	25	15

Outlook: Brown is a tall, nimble running back with good speed. He could be a starter or a quality backup for a team in need.

Tecmo comparison: Dalton Hilliard

Name

REC

Justin Fargas
USC

38	44	44	50	25	70
38	50	50	50	31	10
38	38	38	50	19	20

Outlook: Justin Fargas has some speed but is not particularly strong in the peripheral aspects of the running game. As a third-string RB or emergency starter, he could put up some reasonable numbers.

Tecmo comparison: Gil Fenerty

Name

REC

Artose Pinner
Kentucky

31	31	44	50	25	70
38	38	50	50	31	20
31	25	38	50	19	10

Outlook: Pinner would be lucky to receive an invite to a team's practice squad for 2003.

Tecmo comparison: Anthony Johnson

Name

REC

Domanick Davis
LSU

38	50	38	50	50	60
38	56	44	56	56	10
38	38	25	50	38	30

Outlook: Davis is short in stature but is a shifty runner capable of being a workhorse back in the WTF. If not befallen by injury, Domanick should have a productive career from either the RB1 or RB2 position.

Tecmo comparison: Roger Craig

Name

REC

Onterrio Smith
Oregon

38	38	38	50	44	70
38	44	44	50	50	10
31	31	31	50	38	20

Outlook: Smith is a run-of-the-mill 4th running back who might wind up hanging around the waiver wire for years to come.

Tecmo comparison: Ken Clark

Name

REC

Quentin Griffin
Oklahoma

31	31	31	50	25	80
38	38	38	50	31	10
31	25	25	50	19	10

Outlook: Griffin is a back who would have benefitted from staying in college an extra year to work on his strength, conditioning, and receiving skills. He isn't good enough to get by on his weak speed.

Tecmo comparison: Kenneth Davis

Name

REC

Lee Suggs
Virginia Tech

38	38	44	50	31	70
38	44	50	50	38	15
31	31	38	50	25	15

Outlook: Suggs is a patient runner who can get 3 or 4 yards with relative ease, but has a hard time making defenders miss in the open field.

Tecmo comparison: Marc Logan

Name

REC

LaBrandon Toefield
LSU

38	38	56	63	31	70
38	44	63	69	38	5
31	31	50	56	25	25

Outlook: Toefield possesses good strength for a running back of his caliber but isn't fast enough to make a name for himself in the WTF.

Tecmo comparison: Sammie Smith

Name

REC

Earnest Graham
Florida

38	44	31	50	38	70
38	50	38	50	44	10
38	38	25	50	31	20

Outlook: Graham is an interesting prospect who some scouts believe could be an every-down back. It might take him a few seasons before he develops into a starter.

Tecmo comparison: Dexter Carter

Name

REC

B.J. Askew
Michigan

44	31	75	50	31	70
44	38	81	50	38	10
44	25	69	50	25	20

Outlook: Askew is a fullback who lacks elite blocking ability. He might be worth trying out at the tight end position.

Tecmo comparison: Ickey Woods

Name

REC

Jeremi Johnson
Western Kentucky

44	25	81	50	25	70
44	31	88	50	31	30

Outlook: Johnson is a punishing blocker but provides little else that would be attractive to WTF teams. His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield is nonexistent.

Tecmo comparison: Jamie Mueller

Name

REC

Justin Griffith
Mississippi State

44	31	81	50	31	70
44	38	88	50	38	10
44	25	75	50	25	20

Outlook: Griffith provides good blocking ability with some reasonable upside. Again, a move to the tight end position might provide Justin with a little more playing time.

Tecmo comparison: Michael Haddix

Name

REC

Ovie Mughelli
Wake Forest

44	25	88	50	25	80
44	31	94	50	31	20

Outlook: Mughelli is the best blocker in this year's fullback crop, but is a far cry from a sure bet as a starter on offense. His value will likely lie as a kick returner on special teams, where we've seen similar prospects run rampant.

Tecmo comparison: Barry Word
