Will Braden Wilson take snaps at TE or H back?

[Pete]

He can run, and is bigger than Tannahill, isn't he?

In the off-season, IIRC, some were saying he was a potential NFL draft pick. 

[_33]

I'm hoping the only snaps braden gets are in the bones in his legs.

[Cire]

LoL

I hope this is a joke..... 

[DQ12]

This board gives BW a lot of flack, but the guy is pretty good.  I know it's cliche and stuff, but some of his hits, especially his freshman season, were incredible.

I'm #teambraden and not ashamed to admit it.  Fatty, there's definitely some room if you'd like to hop on board too.

[wetwillie]

JFC its not like the poor bastard asked to be born and raised a hayseed.  Until i have evidence to confirm he plays up his status as hero amongst the tucks he is fine in my books.

[The Manhatter]

Kiper has him currently as the #2 fullback for his draft class.  Nfldraftscout has him listed #3.

I was chatting with a guy in the Chiefs organization about a month ago...said Braden's a definite pro.

[jtksu]

It's funny (not haha, queer) how everyone is all "I just want more talented players" then bitches because one of our better players happens to be white and from little Kansas town.  I don't give a eff where the kid is from, the dude is good.  crap, Nebraska used to rough ridin' ass rape us with big white farm boy FBs.

[Lucas Scoopsalot]

Legit. Is he considered a hometown hero yet?

LOL. Only one true fullback was taken in last years draft. In addition, half of the NFL's top 10 fullbacks (Sporting News) in 2010 were converted from other positions and that percentage goes up the further you go down the list. Assuming that the #3 ranked fullback coming out of college is a "definite pro" is ridiculous.

Well, one day when we are watching him play in the Super Bowl, just like we watched Jordy Nelson, you will eat your words.

if he isn't drafted he will make it on a roster.  Did Braden steal your woman or something.  I guess I don't understand your bone with this guy.

He sucks and everyone thinks he is good. We'd be much better off putting Brown and Pease or any other combination of two runners in the backfield. I'd say maybe use Braden on the goal line or in short yardage situations but he usually either gets in the way or runs through the hole and into the endzone without touching anyone.

[jtksu]

Wow, _33 knows more about college football than Mel Kiper and a dude that actually works for an NFL team.  Man, what a douchebag _33 is.

[jtksu]

Also, 5 FBs were taken in the 2011 draft, and I would imagine several more signed FA contracts.  Ks, Ps, and LSs also don't get drafted much, yet every team carries them on the roster.  And the fact that so many NFL FBs are converted from a different position actually strenghtens Braden's case as a future pro.  The fact is, there aren't many true FBs available so being one of the best of those available makes you more valuable, not less.

No, because they are usually converted from TE's which means they have skills such as catching and running with the ball. NFL teams like their fullbacks to be able to do things other than smash their heads into people.

So then your beef is with the fullback position and not BW, in particular?  Did you have this much disdain for Travis Wilson, Goolsby and Mann?

They were all much better than Braden but got less credit. Braden averaged 1.1 ypc for 8 yards last season.   

But I know, I know he "blew some people up" or whatever.

Braden Wilson

As with most of you, I'm a huge fan of Braden Wilson, the toughest man on the planet. I got bored tonight, so I recycled some old favorites about Chuck Norris, and present these for your consideration:

No, most are not converted TEs.  Most fullbacks see the football in the NFL once every lunar eclipse.  They are not drafted or on rosters for their abilities as rushers or receivers...if they can do that it's a bonus.  They're battering rams, period.  the best right now is Vonta Leach.  Most are like him...short, squatty dudes.

hilarious.  Goolsby missed a ton of blocks.  He was big and fat and liked to dance so everybody thought he was good.  Travis Wilson isn't the athlete Braden is...Vic Mann had better running skills but that is about it.  Are you seriously breaking out the rushing stats for Braden?  That is relevant.

[AbeFroman]

he blocks well and does his job (which isn't to carry the ball)

Yeah hayseeds love him, but like someone else said that's not his fault. He is solid and should be out there semi regularly

So not at all like 6'3" Braden Wilson.

he's 6'2.5 and about 260lbs at the moment.  He'll probably tack on another 10-15 for the league.  I'm guessing 6-2.5 270-275 isn't squatty?

How do you quantify a "much better fullback"?  If you're using ypc, then you're comparing apples to oranges, because in those days, we ran the triple option about every fifth play.

I agree that some of the tards go a little too gaga over BW (see trim's post), but the guy is a good fullback and deserves to be credited as such.
