As I pointed out earlier in another post, Austin is a better option than Rainey because for starters, he doesn't come with the character issues. Secondly, he isn't the same style of runner; whereas Rainey is a straight on track-style runner who couldn't seem to make anyone miss, Austin on the other hand has the break away speed, and it's really hard to even get a hand on him, much less a helmet.
Not sure he's a feature back in the NFL, and I'm not even advocating a 1st round pick, but if he lasts til the 2nd he's worth a shot at least.

According to draftscout, Tavon Austin is one inch shorter and ten pounds lighter than Antonio Brown was coming out. Emmanuel Sanders was 3 inches taller and 11 pounds heavier. But, those two were not first or second rounders.

Ray Rice has made a living out of the pause step and jump cut, Tavon Austin is a step above him IMHO.

2nd round, only because he doesnt sack the QB or play QB.
