Question Did you want Mark Ingram in the draft?

Might as well start it b/c someone will eventually...

I want to know who was for or against him being a Patriot.

I personally did not want to waste a rd. 1 pick on a RB b/c there is great value in later rounds. There is no question he has immense talent, but did we play it right? After the Maroney catastrophe I have been against RB's in rd. 1. here is my stance... how do you feel about the Ingram situation?

One game into a player's career is not a long enough observation period.

I won't lie. I wanted him, and was an advocate of the NEP's 'perceived' interest in him. (which may/may not have been a smokescreen)

But the value was obviously there in later rounds, as we all knew. Hopefully one of the two we picked up will contribute just fine, although only time will tell whether or not passing on Ingram was the right move.

I don't mind the added high pick, that's for sure.

I love the justification for this thread.

Its inevitable, but only because you appear to have the attention span of a goldfish.

you either wanted him or not and please explain why you chose your move

Well, he played against one of the top defenses in the league his first game and ran the ball well. I think that speaks for itself.

I agree. I do realize for us to surmise a true evaluation of Ingram it will take time (years) perhaps, but this thread is a simple yes or no on Ingram being drafted by us.

I found a lot of value in the later rounds and many of the solid RB's do not need to be drafted in the 1st rd. We for the most part carry 2 1's to maximize value of future drafts when we trade it for a future 1 and some more.

I think it looks like Ridley can be just as good if not better.
