    Which do you like better as third RBs on a team, and where would you expect them to be in a 12 team draft
    • Kevin Smith, currently listed behind Tatum Bell
    • Matt Forte, currently the starter in Chicago

    I guess Forte, since he is "the man" on his team, and Tatum is splitting. rounds three thru six maybe?

    I am thinking Kevin Smith will be the back before the season starts. Tatum Bell has never been able to keep a job

    Smith likely will get most of the carries in Detroit, but I give Forte a slight edge because he'll be the focal point of Chicago's offense.

    Chicago's offense could be brutally ugly

    That doesn't matter as much for a running back. It doesn't matter if he gets 3.2 yards per carry as long as he's getting a lot of carries. Plus Forte will probably be more involved as a receiver than Benson was.
