Georgia and Ohio State running backs lead solid if unspectacular group, writes Dan Pompei:

1. Knowshon Moreno, Georgia

He doesn't have home run speed, but otherwise he is a complete player. Between the tackles, he is an excellent runner with instinct and vision. Moreno is elusive, has power and finishes runs. He finds the cracks and gets the most out of each carry. He has some shake in the open field. This junior will be a factor in the passing game as well. Moreno has the kind of intensity, toughness and desire that can give a team its identity.

2. Beanie Wells, Ohio State

He is the best size/speed runner in the draft. He can knock a defender over or run by him. Wells is physical, explosive and athletic, and has been dominant in the Big Ten. He didn't work out as well as he played, however. NFL teams are concerned about the junior's durability given his injury history and the fact he is a runner who does not shy from contact.

3. Donald Brown, Connecticut

This junior has the total package. He is a safe pick because he does everything pretty well. He isn't as dynamic as Moreno or Wells, but he has enough speed and explosiveness. A great combine helped his stock. Brown has nice hands. He can be expected to learn an NFL offense quickly and contribute early in his career.

4. Shonn Greene, Iowa

He has the vision to find the hole and the power to get through it. This junior is a pounder who runs with a good pad level and finishes runs. Greene is not a speed demon or an exceptional athlete. He has some character and injury issues that could hurt him.

5. LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh

McCoy is a shifty, elusive runner who moves well laterally. He does not have breakaway speed and hasn't had great workouts. The junior was a little inconsistent on the field and could have used another year in school. He does not have ideal NFL size and might be served best in a role as a complementary back.

6. James Davis, Clemson

What he lacks in flash, he makes up for in consistency. Davis probably won't be a true difference-maker, but he will be a reliable back who helps his team win. He has an NFL body and a passion for the game, but he might not be the kind of guy who carries the load for his team week in, week out.

7. Andre Brown, North Carolina State

He's a big back with speed, but he doesn't always play as well as his measurables say he should. Brown's workouts have been impressive, but he never has been a dominant performer. He does have a lot of upside. Durability concerns could affect this junior's draft stock.

8. Cedric Peerman, Virginia

He is a tenacious runner who could be a good third-down back and special teams contributor. Peerman has speed, but he lacks ideal size. Teams also are concerned about his ability to withstand an NFL pounding. He does have balance and does not go down easily.

9. Javon Ringer, Michigan State

A productive playmaker in the Big Ten, Ringer plays hard and would be an asset to any team. He does not have great play speed and is small for an NFL back, however. He catches the ball well and could be a change-of-pace back at the next level.

10. Glen Coffee, Alabama

This underclassman probably will be a role player in the NFL. Coffee has quickness and vision but does not break a lot of tackles or have great balance. He runs upright. He is a willing blocker and runs with passion.
