Montee Ball was doing well against top NFL defenses before he got hurt. Not to mention he came back not 100%. IMO, I don't think Anderson finishes the season as the Broncos starter, both him and Ball are 24 years old and Anderson doesn't even have a full season under his belt.

I actually prefer drafting Ball late and cashing in on him than using a 1st on a unproven thing.

That's not really true.

Ball is also not a good fit for Kubiak's system and he's having to fight off Hillman to even win the back up job.

I'll bet you anything the only way Anderson loses that job is by injury and not performance.

Ball was doing horrible last year when he started the season compared to expectations. It wasn't until he got hurt and Hillman took the majority of carries that owners got something of what they expected from manning's rb.

Now I know Anderson will definitely be the bell cow all season.
