will any other player make as big and immediate impact on our offense as this guy? if not let's take him at 15 (or slight trade down if we can pull it off). let's not over think this. this guy could be an emmitt smith type. I think that's better than another G/C, or 2d tier QB.

if you've guys who have watched him a ton think he won't be a great NFL RB, I'd be curious what you saw to make you think that.....

Get the BPA at the OL, TE, WR position in the first round. Sign DeAngelo Williams, give him half the carries and let Cobbs/Hilliard duke it out for the other half.

Phinsfan2,

which ones? also why?

not saying i disagree, just wondering how you drew that conclusion.

Ingram reminds me of Kijana Carter

Don't be surprised if leshoure, Daniel Thomas, Ryan Williams
and maybe even Demarco Murray, Shane Vereen have as good or better stats, but it also depends on the OL and what other weopsons teams have. Murray reminds me of Jamal Charles


late round sleepers Steven Ridley, Alan bradford,

Derrick Locke, Baron batch could be westbrook like out of the backfield

In today's time and age, RB's are a dime a dozen.


Can someone tell me the last time a teams running game got them to the Superbowl?

Last time I checked it is QB, defense, and passing game that wins games these days.

The only other player I would want at the end of the first is Pouncey and that need is diluted a bit if we sign Mankins or Nicks or a top tier interior Olineman in FA. Taking a QB that late is a bit too much like taking a 2nd round QB. If we are taking a QB then we better sit at 15 or be moving up in the draft to take a legit franchise QB.

I would be very satisfied.
