    Drafting a RB

    What does everyone think about Eddie Lacy. He didn't participate in the senior bowl practices, he is coming out of Alabama and runs with speed and power.

    Early comparisons have him with a similar skill set to Michael Bush, could this work in our offense?

      Would love Lacy, but someone will trade up and get him round 1 or he will go early round 2.

        I think Lacy is good but not worthy of a 1-3 pick for us.
        He is running behind the best O LINE in College ball.
        His speed will hurt him at the next level, Ingram and Richardson were faster backs then lacy.

          Like you I want a young RB. I like Lacy but If were going to spend a day two pick on a RB I'd rather gamble on Lattimore who may be able to play this season.

            Only if we can get a 4th for Spiller.

            It's what we do.

              Love Lacy... Love the running game... Hate QBs...

              He reminds me of OJ Anderson.

              too many other needs though.

                Not to be an ass, but why? We have two very good backs and an allworld threat in Spiller. In fact spending a high round pick on an RB is the only thing that would enrage me more than wasting a high round pick on a DB>

                  We should draft somebody to replace Choice, and eventually FJax in 2014. In most of the prospect rankings that I have seen, they have him rated right around our third pick at #71. Personally, I don't think he'll be around at that point and wouldn't use a first or second him. However, I'm not against another high round DB as you are.
