Rookie Impact: RB

Which Rookie RB will have the most impact in the 2012 season?

Listed in the poll are the 9 RB's taken in the first 4 rounds.

I don't like voting for the first player taken at the position as it's too "safe" but it just makes sense here. They'll be starting a rookie QB, lack outside targets, have no other good RB's on their team, and Richardson is just the best prospect of all the rookies. So I vote for Richardson.

I'm also high on Doug Martin for the Bucs, and Schiano strikes me as a guy who wants to have a physical run based offense. He'll take over the starting job from Blount soon enough.

Pead at 50% at the time of this post Cool

I think him just taking some of the load from Jackson, keeping Jackson fresh and hopefully healthy, that could give him the biggest impact.

Trent Richardson. I think he's going to have a fantastic rookie season.

Richardson. He has an outstanding OL in front of him and a passing game that is lacking. Cleveland will have to run the ball alot and he's going to get ton of carries.

Richardson should get plenty of carries in the Childress run-run-pass offense. Given he has a decent Oline in front of him, I expect 1100-1300 yards rushing as a rookie.

I think Richardson is going to ball. He's going to get a ton of carries but playing in a tough defensive division with not many weapons around him might limit his success for now.

I voted Martin. Greg ran Rice into the ground at Rutgers and I expect him to do the same with Martin. Greg has said many times this offseason that we are going to pound the rock. Nicks and Joseph leading the way, with Jackson on the outside and NFC South teams lately not known for their stout defenses, I think sky's the limit for Martin.

T-Rich easily

He will get a ton of touches day 1 behind a potentially very good o-line

Richardson will most likely be the only one out of all these guys to be the #1 running back, plus he's significantly better than the rest IMO. It's Richardson pretty easily.

I'm just going to throw a little known fact around since Wilson has become so underrated on these boards.
