    I wouldn't use him strictly as a RB though. Not too many guys coming out have this kids athleticism. But we're not gonna end up with him so it doesn't matter...first two picks have to address major needs. If somehow he slips to the 2nd....well we'll talk then.

    Used to be that the coach decided who played and who didn't.

    Now, the players tell the coaches and teams whether they feel like playing today or not because I'll get more money by not playing.

    Next logical progression of that attitude is that the star players will ONLY play in the two to three BIG games of the season.

    "I can't risk my draft position and multi-million dollar contract by playing against teams with losing records."

    Or, "I'll only play against top 10 ranked teams."

    Then the NEXT, next logical progression...

    "I'll ONLY play against teams whose analytics show I can run up my personal stats, thereby making my analytics drive my draft position and contract to the highest it can be."

    They are gunshy because of Jalen Smith and he didn't play their position either. Garrett got hurt by a cheapshot by Ark. 6'10" OT who could not handle him so he did a full extend diving layout for his knees. We're talking players to decide whether OR NOT they are playing meaningless games. You chose two who decided they were more important than their teammates. I took one who is risking it all out of loyalty to his teammates.

    Oh yeah TD Tommy scored 37 touchdowns, and never recorded a fumble in his college career but in his four years with the BROWNS rushing for 3 TD 2 fumbles which shows there is a BIG difference between college and pro football.

    I'm surprised he hung around as long as he did in the NFL.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    It wasn't a cheap shot at all. Stop being so Texags, man.

    His feet/footspeed are overlooked for a power back.

    He had one intention, go for the knees with a full layout. Legal? Yes. Cheapshot to get him out of the game? Yes.

    Knees? Looked like a legal cut block to me...

    No upside to playing for a lot of guys. You draft talent and hope it works out and I wouldn't put as much stock in guys "abandoning" teams as I would guys flunking drug tests.

    And like Emmitt Smith, today's Ezekiel Elliott and others it's nice having the Hogs opening holes and a good QB, still Riggo was a tough RB.
