I agree about the NT need. The thing is, if we played our cards right we might be able to get a player at #10 AND still get Taylor or Paea.

As to the question of the thread, I would love to have Ingram. But at #10 I'd rather feed the front.

While Mike Shanahan has a reputation for finding unheralded running backs, I have a hunch that he’ll have a hard time passing on Alabama’s Mark Ingram with the No. 10 pick if Ingram is available.

Wait, what?

Mike Shanahan has success with mid to late round RBs therefore he'll draft a RB at 10 even though Kyle ,the OC, is a pass first coordinator with a 60/40 pass run ration and a WR will likely be available at 10?

If anything they've been looking at both 2nd round and 4th round prospects at Running Back. Looking at Ingram seems like nothing more then due diligence if that. I mean he would be nice to have but I wouldn't think we'd be ready for a championship run before we wear him down. Funny thing is if this was the 70's or early 80's Ingram would be a lock to be the number one pick.

Considering that the owner/admin started the thread...

I would rather try to snag Kendall from OKst in the 2nd or 3rd. I dont think picking a RB at #10 will make the most impact on the field for us. I don't think a QB at 10 will be there that is worth the pick either (I see busts people, EVERYWHERE)... I would hope for a dynamic pass rusher or corner, maybe a WR if Jones or Green was available.

I actually would not object to the idea of taking a stud RB at 10. The way I see it is, if we can score more, then we need less of a dominate defense.

Plus it would add more action to our losses.

Watch it 44ever, you're starting to sound like a Big10 man. Heh, heh-- I knew you would come around. The ole 3 yards and a cloud of dust play.

Ingram is a great player, I thought of E. Smith too as somebody mentioned earlier. That said, he's a good prospect but not a once in a decade rb. For us to take a rb at 10 he'd have to be special. I see Ingram as a good, potentially great nfl player, but not a great enough prospect for this team to take at 10 given the defensive talent in the draft.

skinsfaninok · 03-28-2011, 05:55 PM

NO chance for Ingram at 10, that would be the worst case scenario for us.. ATV and K.W can carry the load for another season

Paintrain · 03-28-2011, 06:23 PM

We have 4 bigger needs on offense than RB at QB, WR, RG and C. I'm content with Torrain/Williams unless we pick up a speed back in the 5th or so. I'd love for a Miami or NE to trade up with us for the #10 to grab Ingram but would be pretty annoyed if we made a move for him there.

skinsfaninok · 03-28-2011, 06:25 PM

Shanny never takes a RB in the first

Even if you did pick him with the #10 spot, who the hell would open the running lanes up in between the tackles? A RB at the #10 spot is a horrible choice for a team with so many needs. Our DL needs some serious upgrades.

I think Ingram is a definite talent, and I would enjoy anointing him the heir to Portis. freddyg12 is right though... he is not a once a decade back. There were several experts that even questioned if he was even the best back at Georgia this past season. So.... to answer the original question of this thread, regrettably "no".

Get me AJ Green at WR, Ingram at RB, Newton or Locker at QB to start.

Start that list and chances are it doesn't go past 3 names. (sanders, campbell, dickerson are the only three that come to mind)

So you are going to remotely compare this kid to those 3 I mentioned?...lol

Also, I don't feel there is a QB worth a 1st round selection this year. It's bad when Mel Kiper even says he doesn't feel any of these QBs in the draft are "franchise QBs". LOL @ your Cam Newton. If anything, I think I've shown enough material to prove my point about red flags, and this kid has a shit ton of them. I'll say it again, the team that drafts Cam Newton expecting this kid to play in the first 2 years are going to be set back 4-5 years. Let's hope it's not this franchise, we know all too well what having a lame QB can do for your franchise. (shuler, ramsey, campbell, brunell)

Guess we watch it play out and see.

Wrong. We had a good offensive line (Samuels, Kendal, Thomas, and Jansen ring a bell??) We see what happened to Portis once that OL started to falter. (Remember 2009 season??)

I think Locker fits our system better than Newton (or any other one for that matter), but I wouldn't value him as a 1st rounder either.
