Who would you pick and why?

Irons, he is a runningback not just an athlete. He has great make you miss ability, which can't be taught.

Irons. Henry has become incredibly overrated. He's big and fast, but he's just not that good.

I emailed Jamie Dukes this question and he answered it on Air (NFL Network) and he agrees Irons is a great compliment to Rudi Johnson.

If Henry magically gets a bunch more talent he will be sick. But he sucked in college.

Now that GB selected (and traded down to do so) Brandon Jackson, where does he fit in with that 2nd tier of '07 backs?

I like Irons and his versatility. Plus, how many RBs that came from Auburn have not been good pros? Compare that to RBs from Arizona. Hmm...Cadillac Williams vs. Trung Canidate, Rudi Johnson vs. uh, let's see, name me any RB from Arizona who has done anything. I know that's a horrible way to generalize, but some schools to tend to produce consistently good players at one position or another. Ohio State cranks out WRs and DBs, Florida has DLs, LSU has OLs, and Auburn has RBs.

Henry is an impressive athlete, but that doesn't mean he'll be an impressive pro. Irons has shown me more as a RB, so I'd take him.
