fricking season hasn't even started yet. How about we see how things play out and then worry about the draft. The damn draft kind of gets blown out of proportion these days.

The NFL is no longer a RB league. The Browns made a huge mistaken taking Trent Richardson no. 3 and I think time will show the Cowboys made a huge error taking Ezekiel Elliott no. 5. LF is an absolute beast, but most teams aren't going to take a RB in the first round, and certainly not high in the first round.

no. we may never see a RB go #1 overall again. Offenses in NFL has evolved to depend upon the pass more!

I absolutely see someone moving up for him in the top 3. It depends on who will be QB needy next year. QB's have been flying off the shelf as of late.

Phenomenal pass rusher but gets owned vs the run at times. Still going to go top 10 though

The Saints are gonna suck this year and get the #1 draft pick.

As much as I love the Saints. It would be nice for them to tank this year and get LF7 with the top pick. Get Ingram out the door. That guy had one good year and that was because it was a contract year. After he got his money he went back to obscurity. Bama guys, go figure...

He's been a man among boys in college, and they're all going to the NFL so I don't see that stopping there.

What a stupid saying "man among boys". Someone created it and it sounded good and now everybody is repeating it. Yes, LF is a great player. But to call his opponents boys is ridiculous. How many of those "boys" were drafted by the NFL this year or next year?

I don't think you quite understand what that saying means there Pete Rose. Just like you'll never understand how it feels to be in the HOF.

Best RB prospect since Adrian Peterson. That was said back when he was in high school, and it still holds true.
