Given the playmakers on defense will be off the board by #17. Do we turn to offense? An if so......

Would Ingram at #17 fill the RB void left by the departures of Faulk, Morris and Taylor?

That would give us a potential 3 headed monster of Green, Woodhead and Ingram?

Ingram is tremendous between the tackles and rarely gets stopped for negative yardage. Except when playing Auburn hardly never fumbles and is more than willing in blitz pick up.

But he is not the fastest, not that great catching the ball and seems to be eternally nicked up or dinged.

As much as I've liked Ingram over the years, I can't shake the lasting impression of that 3 fumble game. If he would do that in a playoff game here in New England it would not be so easily forgiven.

To his credit, he has the uncanny ability to move with his blockers better than anyone I've seen in a long time. He is not explosive like AP but he he does have the vision to run well and the ability to make guys miss.

17? With BB would anybody really be suprised? Dissapointed? Yes, considering the needs we as fans think our more important. However I wouldn't question that he could help this team improve it's offense. I would just question when it is clear there are other pressing needs.

Are you serious? Define playmaker?

The kid had a bad day, are you going to hold that against him, is that the deciding factor in weather to draft him or not?

Deus Irae

Most of the mocks I've seen so far have either Ingram or Leshoure available at #33.

At 17? Yes. 33? no.

I could see it.

You know when BB has his mind set on who he's going to draft he waits as long as he can to actually draft him. So, if he really likes a defensive player or two who aren't going before #28 or #33 he might take Ingram with #17.....or some mix of the picks.

Good argument. When you put that way I can see through my clouded vision.

Ingram is the consensus top rated running back prospect. And he won't get pass Miami at fifteen. However, I would prefer this scenario playing out if Belichick indeed decides to select a running back in the first round.

But there's growing support for Mikel LeShoure.

I disagree and don't know why everyone thinks the Dolphins will take him with their first pick. I bet the Dolphins go defense with 15.
