Rugby Saint II

Ingram picks up the blitz and Payton trusts him to do that. I don't watch LSU and don't know anything about Fournette. Is he a good blocker? Can he catch out of the back filed? How good is his ball security?

I have watched Ingram since college(Roll Tide) and he had a very slow start because of injuries. He is a good back who would run better with a good Oline. Was he worth the typical two draft picks Payton loves to give up for players he covets? Ingram will never be utilized here to his full extent. Sad but true.

Fournette is an outstanding blocker, and is built ideally for anything you need him to do. As far as ball security, LSU running backs almost never fumble. They are taught very well, and Fournette is no different. He has fumbled three, maybe four times in his career at LSU, that I can remember, and I only know of two times that he lost the fumble.

As for Ingram, he has been here a long time now, and he didn't always have a poor line. And It's impossible for me to make excuses for him when he's being outplayed by Tim Hightower, who has been through way more injuries, and is running behind the same line. I don't know how else anyone expects us to utilize him. He is what he is.

All of that said, we're highly unlikely to draft Leonard even IF we somehow end up with a top five pick. But you never know with this team.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I wouldn't be upset if traded Ingram.

Roll with Hightower and Lasco, both have shown they can run and catch passes also.

Re-sign Spiller, seahawks just released him lol

No back can run the ball effectively without an O line. His upside is much better than Ingram and it would be a mistake to pass on Him. Ingram does not show much ability to take it to the house on longer runs. He has been an enigma to me although not exactly a bust he has definitely under achieved. We need to upgrade the O line as a priority and then D-Line the obvious flaws in our defense.

Speaking of STUD LF ... saw a 1st round MOCK draft (USA). They have him going to CAROLINA. Of all teams ... Carolina .
It's a good thing this is a "mock" draft.
