Triplett says Saints Interest in Chris "Beanie" Wells is "Bona Fide"

Jiva said

Wells:6,1, 235, 4.52 (4.32 pro day?)

Stewart: 5'10, 235, 4.41

Mendenhall: 5'10, 225, 4.46

Maybe I missed it somewhere in this large post, but how does Beanie compare with last years big backs, Jonathan Stewart and Rashard Mendenhall? If they were in the same draft this year, how would they stack up?

If they are in this draft, I think the rankings would go Wells, Stewart, and then Mendenhall.

Also, Wells' pro day time was not a 4.32. It was closer to a 4.38, 4.39. He and Stewart are probably similar in speed. I think people should dismiss his 40 time at the combine. He did about 8 or 9 broad jumps before he ran his forties. Scott Wright has said that a lot of GMs and scouts believe this is the reason why he timed somewhat poorly especially since most were expecting him to run in the 4.4 range.
