Consider say LeShoure or Ingram or Williams or Murray early AND Vareen, Rodgers, or Carter or Helu or Ridley later. I'm sure I left out someone's binky, but you get the idea.

I agree. I could also see one of the two - or even a 3rd option - being a good FB (if Kettani can't play). By "good" FB, I mean a guy who can pass-block, run-block (from either the backfield OR motioned to a TE spot), catch passes (better than BGE) and run effectively himself (IOW, consistently get those 2-4 yarders when needed, even without extra blockers).
Imagine drafting 2 backs and hitting on both like we did with Gronk and Hernadez last year.Some mocks have been starting to give us 2 running backs. I think that this is reasonable.

I think it reasonable to project a rookBoston value group: Ryan Wiliams, Kendell Hunter, Jordan Todman, Jaquizz Rodgers, Derrek Locke, Bilal Powell.
So no one here even mentions Dion Lewis
Is he not as good of a prospect for a 3rd or 4th round pick as I think?
I agree about Morris and I think BJGE is best served as a secondary runner. I think the draft has to do with value and if we can grab 2 at value positions we will. I think BB will value the best of any position and thats why I wouldnt disregard Ingram so easy. Faulk should be a possibility if he takes a pay cut. We shall see.
He's projected 6th-7th round in most places, I don't know much about the kid.

LeShoure and Vareen or Helu would be sweet.
Bullish, not so much, but he was a 2,000 yd rusher FWIW, and NE did see him as worth the hold on Reserve/Military. :confused2:That's a nice-looking group. This year's RB crop isn't round-1 flashy, but I think it's a lot deeper than last year's.
Locke is a player I'm totally enamored with. He can do it all, he's just too tiny to expect him to do it all too often. IOW, he's Danny Woodhead. Personally, I consider Woodhead's role important enough to devote two roster spots to. (And I'm not as bullish on Shun White as you seem to be.)

This would result in the team getting somewhat younger and faster at the position (three young players, two veterans as opposed to last year's two young/three old.)
You can always get a college free agent to be the 3rd rookie back
