Is there anywhere with a list of fullback's that are entering the draft. IMO raiders need to get a blocking Fullback like Jon Ritchie and was wondering if there was any player worth taking in this draft.

I have been watching a little of Cory Anderson Tennessee and he seems to fit the mold fairly nicely. I havent watched out for too many though so take this with a grain of salt.

Brian Leonard, Rutgers
Jason Snelling, Virginia
Le’Ron McClain, Alabama
Cory Anderson, Tennessee
Ryan Powdrell, USC

when did FB's get so tall.. 6 foot 2, 6 foot 1 , 6 foot 3 , 6 foot 4.. jeez..

I think the Raiders need to draft Cory Anderson and Doug Jones. Cory Anderson could line up at Fullback and Doug Jones could be our HB/Fullback type...

This year the Raiders need to be strong, big, and physical!

I have always really liked Brian Leonard. I have said it before, and I know that FB is not a big need for us, but I think Leonard is going to be a great football player for someone (and I hope it is us). He would bring some leadership to the offensive side of the football that this team is lacking. Not to mention he is the best all-around fullback in the draft (he can run the football, he runs very good routes out of the backfield, he can catch, and he is a very underrated blocker.) I think he would be a great pick-up for our team and could be used in a variety of ways while Zach Crockett is still here (give him some time at FB/H-back/he could line up at halfback in some short yardadge situations and has enough skills in the passing game to even line up at TE a few plays if needed w/ Crockett at fullback).

I have watched many Rutgers games, and if you are looking for a fullback that is going to pancake a bunch of players (ex: Lorenzo Neal), he is probably not your guy. But watching him block, he is great at latching on to a defender, pushing him out of the hole for his running back, and staying on his defender through the whole play so his guy doesn't make the play. I think he is a big part of the success that Ray Rice has had this season.

I think he is one of the best FB prospects that have come out in a long time, and with Zach Crockett only getting older, Brian Leonard could end up being our FB for the next ten years, which is why I would be very happy if we used a first day pick on him this year.

We should be able to land one in the later rounds if we go for one. We are going to have multiple picks in the 3rd, so maybe that should be one of them.
