Drafting a running back in the X round.

I would invest some resources in improving our Oline and make all the backs better....

well losing our LG immediately and then our C didn't help. we probably do need a new C sooner or later... also the TEs we had most of the year didn't run block well on most downs (including our converted OT).

NO.....it did not!
Never regret having a stout line that can withstand an injury or two. Makes all aspects of the O better....

C.J. Prosise | Running Back

Right now he's considered a mid round prospect.

Former WR turned RB

Could be a receiving RB with versatility

Yes, good call.

I know most on here want a shifty back, but I'd love to find a Stephen Davis type in the mid rounds. the kind if guy that can get the tough 1-2 yards to keep drives going or get into end zones.

I know we need D-line the most, but I still want to get a quality center - someone who can control the middle and like Hog said...make all the RB's better.

I'm just not sold that Long is the answer at C...he didn't exactly explode off the line as LG last year. Moving him to C means he will have more going on,so it makes me really wonder.

If we can get Prosise or Kenneth Dixon (La Tech) in the 3rd or 4th Round, we'll be in good shape at RB. Both have good size, good speed, good vision, make people miss, finish runs, and have outstanding receiving skills. They look like pros to me. Prosise is also a Special Teams maven.

Yes, good call.

RB C.J. Prosise

The first of the mid-round prospects for the Irish, Prosise had a very interesting career at Notre Dame. He started out as a safety before transitioning to wide receiver. Then this past offseason, Prosise made one more switch to running back. This would be the most successful move as Prosise put together one of the best seasons from a running back in the Brian Kelly era at Notre Dame. He averaged 6.6 yards per carry, 2.8 yards after contact, and totaled 43 broken tackles. Prosise’s calling card is his speed and he gained 49.7 percent of his yards on runs of 15 or more yards.

He looks like he has a lot of upside but isn't very experienced at the position.

I'm waiting for Amerson's mom, Tawanna, to weigh in.

I believe she has watched more football than PFF Senior Analyst Renner and probably doesn't have the Notre Dame alum bias:
