Alabama puts RBs on Trading Block

Press Conference from Hoover, Alabama: "Alright, with the All-Star break coming up and the Trade Deadline next week, the Gladiators have decided to put Michael Smith/84 and Roy Upchurch/82 (going to go up to 84 or 85 because he is 3rd in the league in rushing yards) on the block. We only want to trade one of them and would like a defensive tackle in return, Alabama also would be willing to trade Grady Jackson with one of the backs for a starting Defensive Tackle. Although he won't be able to play until the playoffs. We would also be more willing to trade Smith then Upchurch but we are willing to listen to any offers for both." Michael Smith is also a Kick Return Specialist although he does not currently return for Alabama. Upchurch was rated as one of the top Athletes coming into the draft, he can play Wide Receiver or Fullback.

Runnigbacks/Fullbacks available for Draft

Well here are the top rookie Runningbacks, topped off by Ed James, 88 overall and unless he goes #2, I could see him falling too early 2nd Round, very good Runningback Class, and most will be filling up the Free Agent pool. Some Notables coming out of College, Ian Johnson from Boise State, Brad Lester from Auburn, Kestahn Moore from Florida, Shun White from Navy, and Jesse Chatman from NC State.

There are some good Fullbacks coming into the Draft this year, and that's a position that is kind of weak in the MLF, but they don't play as big of a role as other players. Jorvorskie Lane is a guy you want for size, the Texas A&M star is
5'11 295, he's not fast but I guarntee he will be perfect for goal line situations, other notable College Rookies, Brannan Southerland from Georgia, and Jason Cook from Ole Miss.
