Moreno is a pretty terrible RB and thrived last year behind Manning.
How come the better Ball couldn't beat out a pretty terrible RB like Moreno? Was it just John Fox being John Fox?
From what I saw, Ball was awful in pass protection early in the season, and for whatever reason Fox didn't go back to him even as he was improving throughout the year. I'm not investing a 1st round pick in a guy with 120 career carries. Feel free to roll the dice with your 1st rounder but I prefer more of a resume from my 1st pick.
And FWIW I had McGahee 2 years ago and Addai in 2010

John Fox hates rookies. John Fox hates rookies protecting 37 yr old franchise players even more.
Ball graded out better than Moreno later, but Fox had his trust in Moreno at that point. Plus Denver was kicking arse and taking names so why change.
However, the fact that Denver let Moreno walk is very telling.

I would have to assume it was mostly to do with him being a rookie and needing to learn the playbook a little better and develop better skills in pass pro.
I've taken him in Round 2 in 2 drafts so far and have been happy about it.
