Default Vereen over LeShoure

LeShoure would have been a much better value pick over Vereen, they need a lead back type like LeShoure and Vereen isn't the answer. He could have been picked in the 3rd maybe even 4th round and I personally think DeMarco Murray is more of a home run hitter than Vereen. I just don't get some of these picks they're making. I know we have to wait and see how these players develop but I was much more excited last year when they picked Gronkowski, Hernandez and Cunningham in the second round because I knew they would make an impact early, these players that they're picking in the second don't seem to have that type of upside. I don't hate the picks they've made but they could be doing much better.

Runs hard and low to the ground. Mayock noted the pass-catching and blocking ability, called Leshoure "soft"

Vereen put up 31 reps of 225. Beastly.

As a card-carrying member of the anti-Leshoure brigade from the beginning, I'll just quote myself from 3 days ago:

The more I look at my little list above, the more I find Shane Vereen emerging as the best all-around skill/value package.

I don't understand a lot of this picks either, but i think BB is probably a better drafter than I so i gotta trust him. I liked Leshoure too, Vereen is a beast though

I really like everything I've seen from Vereen. Not sure where that leaves Woodhead though

Hopefully with a longer, healthier career as a valuable situational player.

I can't disagree more.

I'll take Vereen over Leshoure for the Pats offense every single time. Vereen is a weapon with speed and shiftiness, he can catch passes, and pass block. He's a complete player. Not quite as electric as Best last year, but with better size at 5'11 210 lbs so he can take the NFL pounding better. He also runs low to the ground and doesn't shy away from contact either so I wouldn't discount him on the inside. Vereen is a good complementary back to BJGE and a guy who's like another wide receiver when he's on the field.

Vereen highlights:
