He played 16 games and only finished with a lil over 500 yds and 4 TDS.

Better ypa than last year's rookies Lacy, Lev Bell, Gio Bernard, Stacy. Tells me increased carries could translate into production. Broncos are 2nd in the league in rushing attempts inside the 5 since Manning went to Denver... Moreno got those carries last season... Ball this year. Run at 4 ypa with 250 touches... catch ~50 balls. The math says he's 1st or 2nd rd material.

Guys like Leveon Bell and Zac Stacy couldn't even muster 4 ypa. Lacy and Bernard were right at 4. Yet they got the volume on the ground and through the air, so their volume numbers are there, much like Trent Richardson the year before. Are they world beaters? Meh

I admitted he did look good towards the end of the season. But looking good in 5 games doesn't make you a 1st/2nd round pick. The only reason he's being considered that high is because he plays with Peyton and that offense who scores a bajillion points a game.

Dude, 5 games and the work he put in is pretty telling. What's the magic number of games one needs to see to be convinced? It's the same offense plus new weapons.

I mean, if any decent RB played in DEN then they would be drafted the same way too. All it takes is getting the volume. The rest takes care of itself. Ellington, Ben Tate, Gerhart, etc have never proved anything, and they are going in the 3rd, 4th, 5th. And they are in shitty offenses. If those guys played in DEN, where would they be drafted?
