Do we take a flier on this guy in the coming season? He's big, powerful, and fast but he fumbles. In fact he fumbled 7 times this season.

I don't know. Ricky has been moderately fumble-prone throughout his career, but he went on stints where he didn't fumble for a while. It was a matter of concentration for him. On the other hand, some guys, like Sammie Smith, just can't shake it. Fumbling was a way of life for Sammie.

Sammy Smith 'Cocaine is a hell of a drug, it made me fumble the ball'.

I saw Bradshaw rip VT in college when he was playing for Marshall. I think he is a hell of a back, fumbles or not. Ricky and Ronnie fumbled 11 times last year FYI

Bradshaw is a beast.

Re-sign Ronnie, sign Bradshaw and Sproles.......BAM

Bradshaw is going to bring in a pretty penny. He won't come cheap.

If we're gonna go the FA route, anyone worth his salt will cost some $$$$$$$.

What we need to do is find our own gems....

In no order, here are the guys I would look at after the 3rd round...


DeMarco Murphy
Kendall Hunter
Delone Carter
Daniel Thomas
Bilal Powell
Evan Royster
Anthony Allen


There are plenty of guys to go after....a hand full of these guys and others that are coming out will be 1,000 yard rushers, it is now Jeff Ireland's job to find out who those guys are.....and then draft them.

I would like to see us go after one of these 2 in the mid rounds DeMarco Murray or Kendall Hunter. I live in Oklahoma and have watched both of these players quite a bit they are versatile and have developed over the time I have watched them.

with only 4 years service time, Bradshaw may not be a free agent at all. If he is, he will likely be a restricted free agent, and would probably require at least a second round pick to obtain. And given that Ireland has grown up around Parcells, would he be willing to spend big money and a 2nd rd pick on a 198-lb RB? Not likely.

Murphy and Royster I could see be solid backs well Gem's if you will.

I think he made something like 1 million this year with his escalators. This was the final year of his rookie contract if I'm not mistaken. I'd assume, given the market, he's going to pull in a 3-4 year deal worth 2.5-3 million a year.

Alan bradford could be a sleeper late round Bradshaw like pick.

Like the Bradshaw idea and also Hunter from Oklahoma St would be a great selection in the 3rd if Hankerson doesnt fall to us

Ingram in the 1st is a JOKE. Please NO

If Ryan Williams falls to the 3rd, we should nab him. Florida native FWIW

Williams wont fall that far....doubt if he falls past the earl 2nd. May not make it out of the first.
