I dont have much to add about Brown.
Green is definatly the best back on the roster, and with they way things have been going I would have to say Walker is the second best right now. The kid has just looked pretty good.
Slaton is fast. From what I understand he is larger than he was in college. He hasnt had any problems getting outside and turning the corner and after he gets the motor running he is defiantey fast. I am not sure about how he is doing during blocking. I think that is what will make or break his play time this year. 3rd down back has to be able to cover the blitz and catch out of the backfield.
I wouldnt compare Slaton to Bush. I think Slaton will probably be better. His size is right at the bottom of where you would expect an everydown back to be but he has speed. I havnt watched any film of Slaton and dont know how well he ran between the tackles in college but I expect he will be able to, whereas Bush probably wont be. I dont want to turn this into that kind of thread, but "poor mans Reggie Bush" is kinda funny. Most teams wouldnt draft an obvious 3rd down gimmick back in the top three. Besides, I hope like hell he isnt a "poor mans Reggie Bush" cause I would feel like we got screwed with a wasted pick.
