due to his ankle, he's not going to the top 10 draft picks. so no Browns, thank goodness.


What do you want to bet he is a top 10 pick?

Nfl team are not gonna let an ankle injury stop them from drafting a 235lb beast that has no incorrectable flaws in his game. Oh and he has legit track speed at 235 lbs.

If I am the GM, I am not spending my first round pick on a guy with an ankle injury all season long. sure, maybe he will be fine. I will let someone else be the genius and I will take Cam Robinson with my 12th pick in the draft.

mock drafts have LF7 going 3rd or 7th.

they have the browns taking yet another QB.

Yes, that is what I am referring to and yes, I am being facetious with the silly truck statement.

I agree with you on your statement above, but as always, being fortunate enough to be drafted by a team that is ready to take advantage of his skill set will make a huge difference. The luck of the draw has a lot to do with whether one is allowed to show their true greatness at that level.

I think we can all agree it would be better for lf's career and production if he fell out of the top 20. When you are drafted top 5 or top 10 youre going to a team that wasnt good the year before.

He had a high ankle sprain and still broke the lsu single game rushing record with just 16 carries. That show toughness and a want to be out there with your brothers.

I think he means pick 3-7.

Surely not 3rd round

Dukkkkki,

So you are saying every other normal back who has a good NFL game is better than LF? Look at Washington's backs- Keith Marshall, Robert Kelly and Matt Jones - do you think they are all better than LF? In your reasoning LF will be worse than them because he could not run against Bama, that he should not even go to the NFL?

It was our shitty no imagination offense that shut LF down in these last 2 years vs Bama because LF is better than those 3 backs for sure, yet they are in the NFL (on one team).

I guess Cory Grant (Jaguars) is better than LF

I guess Kapri Bibbs (Broncos) is way better than LF

I guess Matt Asiata (Vikings) is better than LF

LF might as well come back to LSU, not ever go to the NFL because he must not have any talent because he did not run well against a Bama Defense like he will face every day in the NFL.

And I thought he was a great RB :rolleyes:

I live on the coast in NC, and that is the talk around here. LF to the Panthers. Locals want him or Cook from FSU (BOTH are seen as 3-down backs), and CAR seems to be in a pretty good pos to finish with a top 5-9 draft pick, dependent on the next few games. Would be pretty dynamic to see him and Cam in the same backfied. CAR is poised to bounce back quickly too. They have a lot of talent on that roster. DB's are their weak spot, but they have rookies playing who will get better and the pundits say they have cap space to improve that position.

Would hate to see him running wild vs the Saints, but I sure don't want to see his talent languish in Cleve or Jax, etc.... Hope he lands in a good spot.

Yeah like Jax is such a terrible city to play football in . Actually the tiger i would want in jax is Jamal Adams. We need 1 more good safety to make this defense elite. There are no good Qb's in the draft and i think we can get a good rb in the second round or later. Actually if jags had a descent QB the jags would be .500. Not like we are getting destroyed like the browns in every game.

This! For those who don't think he will be good in the NFL because of the Bama game, you my friends don't realize how horrible Les Miles was at coaching offense. Examples

Russell Sheppard - considered a bust by lots of people is a productive starting NFL WR
James Wright - didn't catch a pass his senior year now a productive 3-4 wr
2013 team - wright was on that team along with 2 top 10 NFL WR, starting NFL RB and former starting NFL QB - finished 35th in the country in offense and lost 3 games.
