A USC RB who scored more TDs than Reggie Bush is still on the board...
deep into the 2nd round. LenDale White, a powerback, would mnake a great NFL FB. He's a north & south runner who was given the ball to get in the endzone on short plays.
Supposedly he was arrested for carrying a concealed "fake" gun and his character is in question.
Some team is going to get a good sleeper pick real soon.

2. That has to be it Kleeb.
This guy is a very talented back. A potential, perrenial, 1,300 yd a season guy. With a bit of maturity (he's 20), he could pan out.

4. I am hoping the Steelers pick him or his teammate Darnell Bing
I think Cowher could work on those character issues because hell tehy said Jerome Bettis had those.

3. I think that was a different player. The knock on Lendale is his
conditioning. Winston Justice was the USC Tackle who was arrested for brandishing a fake gun a couple of years ago. I think he's been drafted now.

White's stock has been falling for a couple of months, but I figured he'd be gone by now. They said he was over 250 pounds at the Combine, and some teams were concerned that his lack of conditioning showed a lack of commitment ...

8. We got a good receiver too
Santonio Holmes. Guy looks like he'll be good. I think Moss was a good pick for you guys.

9. Yeah
I don't know why we picked Kiwankia. Strahan has several more years. I tihnk they wasted that pick. Kiwankia was projected as mid 2nd Round not 1st round. They should have picked WR Jackson.

10. Lotta surprises this draft
I thought the Titans would pick Leinart because of Norm Chow being the QB Coach there or OFfensive coordinator or something. Also had Whittier going much lower and Lendale White much higher. Course the biggest surprise of all was the Texans choosing Williams.
