![]() I thought Ingram and Richardson were far better complete prospects coming out of college, but Lacy has had a very good showing thus far.
The knock on him was long term health concerns about that fused foot. Let us not forget Green Bay traded back in the second thinking they would get Ball, because Lacy was still on the board. |

![]() It's cute to me that people on this board don't know awful run defense when they see it. James Starks averaged pretty much the same per carry as Lacy. Lacy is playing well overall, but you guys are cracking me up. Oh and let's not pretend the medical issues magically went away. That was the real reason the Broncos passed on him after all.

I think Ball may be a fine running back, but I've yet to see him run with the power and burst that Lacy routinely shows. The guy looks fantastic. Drafting is hard, I get that. Sometimes you screw up. I think they screwed up. |

![]() LAcy looked good, but let's remember street free agent Brandon Jacobs had a 22/106/2 TD line against Chicago's run defense earlier this year.

![]() Lacy has looked good most of the year and it getting better. He's def far and away the best back from the past draft.

![]() Where would we have played Ogletree though. Would you drop Trevathan for him

![]() Huh? My opinion is that, as usual, people on this board are ridiculously premature with how they judge rookies, both good and bad. Ball hasn't gotten to carry the load in a game once yet. Lacy has and has had some good games. What either turns out to be in the long run is still far from being seen. Bunch of ADD cases around here...

And again, the Broncos passed on Lacy because of medical issues. They made that pretty clear. And the fact is that most of the other NFL teams felt the same way. That's why he fell. He was considered to have 1st round talent. But talent means nothing if you can't stay healthy. It should be interesting to see if he can prove all the medical staffs around the league wrong.

Bell who I really liked from the draft has looked fantastic. Pittsburgh is always playing from behind. And Gio looks electric when he touches the ball. Lacy has run hard and has looked better than Ball. But as others pointed out, Chicago isn't stout vs the run, and Lacy struggled running this year at times, just as easy as he has run well. |

Agreed he could play Will, but WW was our starting Will prior to the draft. |

I didn't envision the team having Danny as a full-time WILL this year. Which is why I advocated drafting Ogletree to give us flexibility with who we had. Whoever out of WWIII/Ogletree performed better, that is where you would place them. I like Danny as a player, but I'd take Ogletree over him and a heartbeat. Long-term, I would probably take him over WWIII though, but he's my boi and I drafted that boi in OM Mock draft boi. |
