I don't know enough about Chris, but if he's anything like Brian Westbrook of the Philadelphia Eagles, then you have a great pick. Westbrook also came from a small school and he has the running and receiving threat.

Multidimensional backs are a huge plus these days, especially in a pass happy league.
