Evan Royster shouldn't be in the poll.

I voted for Ingram, but Ryan Williams is rising fast on my "board."

Why is this? I'm not a huge fan of his, either. But, he consistently seems to be ranked among the better backs coming out. What am I missing with this guy that others seem to be so interested in?

He's the top senior - but that's really not saying much at all. Some of the "expert" lists out there only rank seniors, in which case he gets ranked highly. I wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't drafted until the final two rounds.

Well, as I said, I did vote for Ingram. But Williams is a guy I'm very intrigued by. Both Ingram and Williams could be in time-share situations next year with Trent Richardson probably seeing a lot of PT in Alabama and Darren Evans coming back from injury at Va. Tech. It's going to be very interesting to watch how that all plays out this year. But to me, those are clearly the top two RBs going into the season.

Voted Green.

Mallet should not be on poll. Locker and Luck should be on there before him.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

You can have a lot more options than you listed, there should be others on that list as well.

 

[cobalt_27]

Also , Williams coming out as a sophomore?

Sort of a reason I kept the options limited to those guys.More interested to read these opinions.

 

[sholditch]

Ingram just because he's likely to be the first RB off the board and will be counted on to produce right away.

 

[EBF]

Probably some random guy no one is talking about right now (i.e. Chris Johnson, Ryan Mathews, Rashard Mendenhall, etc).

Picking today I would take Ingram because he seems like a good bet to start immediately and get 250-300 carries.

Also , Williams coming out as a sophomore?

Well, he's a redshirt sophomore, so he's eligible anyway. Who knows what his plans will be. It will obviously depend on how he does this year.
