The issue i have with this is that thomas has performed very well against NFL defenses. Wells has performed very well vs crappy big 10 college defenses. i'm not saying wells isn't a good back, but he's nowhere near a lock to be better than thomas. the best argument for wells right now is that both bush and thomas have gotten injured in each of the last 2 seasons. it's good to have depth at the position, but he would have to share carries with two other backs who are very talented. i'd rather one of the linebackers or DEs. one of either jenkins, brown, maybin, matthews, or cushing will be there.
