Some notes:
-Ingram's highlights were really impressive. But I have no idea where he earned the reputation of being a "power" rusher. In fact, he's very finesse. He appears to need a hole initially to get through; but once in space, he becomes very shifty and is able to angle himself away from defenders in a very interesting way.

-Agree with Pat that Robinson's speed is underrated. The scary thing is that his game still has room for improvement.

-I think comparisons to Ivory might actually underplay how good Robinson is/will be.

-Ingram and Robinson are very complementary.

-I was surprised to see how fast PT was at the beginning of the season. It's clear that he was as effective as ever early on and into the majority of the season. We really need to limit his snaps in the beginning, so that we can keep him reasonably fresh into the postseason.

This is why I said that PT needs to be our 3rd down/change of pace back.

Regarding our offense, have Ingram and Robinson split most of the carries, have more run/pass balance, and have more play-action in the pass game. For the draft, I'd look at another pass catching back, a WR, and OL on offense. Now, if one of the top TEs falls to us...

But all of those picks (minus the luxury TE) would be solely for depth, which is a great place to be.
