Kiper probably hasn't watched a TN game this season. Foster might get drafted, but there's no way he's going on the 1st day.

He can only post seniors....when the juniors and 3rd years sophomores start declaring he can add there names

Here's the deal... the report on Foster is that he will play on Sundays. His ability is not a question. The fumbling issue is NOT an issue to the NFL. They have been magnified in college because of timing. Foster will not start in the NFL, but he will make a living for 5 years. Hold me to this for how ever long you want. You will lose.

he has definitely lost his mind, personally I never saw what everybody else seemed to in Arian. He fumbled way toooooooo much and speed wasn't that great, couldn't make people miss. I never thought he would be a 1st round, but Kiper must be on some seriuos drugs

You must not have seen him a few seasons ago when he made one or two guys miss every down just to get to the line of scrimmage. When you run behind a poor O-line, it's hard to make big things happen.

BTW, there's more to being an all-around back than running, which he's not exactly a slouch at...little things like oh, blocking are kinda important to teams. You're not going to see very many TE's on the field that can only catch, or only block, so why would you have an RB that can only run?

You are 100% correct. Mel Kiper is totally impartial and has no axe to grind. Foster will be a high draft pick.

Roswell, NM or GA. You're answer affects credibility.

Actually, it doesn't say that at all. That is his top 5 Seniors. There are probably at least 5 or 6 Juniors that would be selected before Foster. He ranks the Juniors (and third-year Sophs) right after the Seniors. Very weak Senior class.

No F'n way..
Have you seen a Tennessee game this year?

He isn't the same back that he might have been presumed to be back in 05-06.

When you fumble the ball the way Foster does, it cost head coaches their jobs on the next level.

Seriously, how many people actually watch Foster pass block? You gotta be kidding me!!!!
