Love this pick. Exactly the kind of back you want to get after picking up Lacy.

AWESOME!! Probably my 3rd favorite back in the draft.
Wonder how Harris is feeling now.

RT @MoveTheSticks GB just took one of my favorite players in the draft: #UCLA RB Jonathan Franklin. They drafted my #1 & #2 RB's

#41 on my overall big board.
Lacy/Franklin makes me smile.

McGinn:
5. JOHNATHAN FRANKLIN, UCLA (5-10, 200, 4.50, 3) - Came out of South Central L.A. to break Gaston Green's school record with 4,403 yards (5.6) in 788 carries. His goal is to become mayor of Los Angeles. "What a great kid," said Phil Savage, executive director of the Senior Bowl and former Browns GM. "He's a team player. There's no downside to taking him on your team. I really like him as a role contributor." Runs hard for his size. "Good little back," one scout said. "He's small and slow. You like the vision and run instincts and production. But he's not a starter." Also caught 58 passes for 517 (8.9). "Nice little player," said another scout. "Not overly fast. He's just got great vision and just makes yards. Understands angles. Plays hard."

This is the kind of draft you have if you want to change how your offense runs. I hope we hold Franklin, Lacy, and Harris at the RB position.

Could be like when the Giants had Jacobs, Bradshaw, and Ward.

He's not. Runs a 4.49 and breaks away from people.
Productive back - Ran for 1,734 yards on 6.1 ypc this past year
Value - Scott Wright graded him as a 2nd or 3rd round back. His #5 back overall.
