In the english path, the 2009 and 2010 draft classes are the two big ones. you'll make or break your franchise in those two. 2011 has some talent, but nowhere near as much. 2012 and on is very hit or miss... a lot of "this guy would be good except he's too short, or too slow, or too injury prone, or bad at zone coverage, or has a weak throwing arm, etc. etc.", that is a lot of guys who are good but have a glaring weakness. The English path is really front loaded with the ungodly talent. you have to get it early or do without.
and yeah, I was thinking at first about keeping leron for running plays, but really my run game is so infrequent that I'm thinking storm stewart do those as well, as few as they are. it's not like he sucks at them.
