RB James White, Wisconsin -- This year's Cyrus Gray, except a little stronger/slower. Teams love guys like White in the 5th or 6th round of the Draft: White can come in tomorrow and give you 5-10 carries. He won't put the ball on the ground, and he's excellent in pass protection. He's only 5'10, 206 lbs, but he looks (and runs) about 15 pounds heavier than that, with a thick frame that can distribute and absorb punishment. He's not a very exciting runner, however, and I'm not sure if he even has a ceiling in the NFL -- his roof is a reliable 3rd RB who can spot you 5-10 carries a game without giving the game away. He's got some good change of direction skills when he gets to the second level, but he's not outrunning many linebackers, much less DBs.
