which RBs from LSU were drafted high and had big time expectations, outside of Hill and Ridley?
none, which goes back to my original point. Why does it matter if they have tread or not, if they don't produce once they get in the league?
Hester just retired. Keiland can't make a team anymore. I dont think Dick Murphy is still around.
Shoot, Patriot beat writers were talking about how Ridley may be cut this offseason.

Yeah I hear ya... I even said the same thing. NFL guys dont really look at how many carries or touches you got or whatever, as long as you were able to stay healthy and all that.
And I get what you are saying... but I dont think you can say we havent fared well with RBs in the NFL when we havent had any guys that were expected to do anything worth while in the NFL, minus Hill and Ridley. All the other guys were late round picks or UDFAs that were long shots to make rosters in the first place.
But, IMO, the RB spot is 1 of the weirder spots to predict in the NFL. Its a weird position and depends heavily on what system you go to and all that. You have a guy like TRich who has the college production, measureables, 40time, etc. And was the 3rd pick in the draft and looked solid as a rookie. Then goes to a new team and looks like crap. Hes still the same talented RB we have seen. But isnt a good fit in the scheme. And then you have someone like Pierre Thomas. Who never had more than 150 carries in a college season and ran the 40 in 4.67.... but got in a perfect scheme for his skillset and has been a good RB for a while now.
Just a weird spot to predict.
I hear ya... I seem to be much happier during this time of the year
