RB'S???

Lets face it we need a new young all around back, i say use reggie for trade bait for hopefully his old buddy carroll to bite on to move us into the seahawks seat in the 1st round and pick up Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram. Ingram besides Patrick Peterson is probably the safest pick in the draft

I'll pass... overrated. Not saying he can't be a solid pro, but he hasn't been exactly a threat in the passing game and he's been hurt this year. I would not use a 1st round pick on the guy... that would be a big mistake. Backs are a dime a dozen... Ingram doesn't have the "it" you want in a first round back. Hell... Trent Richardson is better than Ingram.

I'm liking the Lashore kid from Illinois more and more.

I agree about Ingram. He didn't even deserve that Heisman. Toby Gerhart smashed his stats, and he was still not even a first round pick. We need someone that is solid in all phases, including blitz pickup. So be it if that person is a 4th rounder from a smaller school. Ingram is just plain overrated.

I just want a BEAST that doesn't break after every game. I know there is one out there and I fully expect them to find him.

Agreed, we need a workhorse back that can handle the load and still be ready to go in the next game. Some guy that may be able to handle 200 carries a season and not be out that often.
I either vote for Mikel Leshoure or Demarco Murray, i'm not sure how Ingram would translate to the NFL but the guy obviously has the talent to be a good back.

Bingo.. bruiser with speed. I don't really get the Mark Ingram hype. But that's probably just famous last words typed.
