He's not the biggest guy and he didn't have great production in college, but he has an elite skill that will give him an advantage at the next level. If he decides to focus on football instead of track, the obvious comparison for what he brings to the table is Jacoby Ford.
I agree with your overall ranking of Lacy, but strongly disagree with your final statement. He's potentially the best RB in this class; and while it's not a very good class, that still says something. BJGE and Greene are the bottom of the barrel, when it comes to starting NFL running backs. I will be interested to see what Lacy actually weighs in at; I don't buy the numbers provided by his team. But we are talking about a 230 lb back with potential 4.50 speed. I know size/speed ratio isn't everything, but it is obviously very important. Once we take is quickness and elusiveness into consideration, Lacy has physical tools that BJGE and Greene just don't.
Schtick aside, he's likely right. Format will determine whether RBs will be more valuable, but Floyd would likely be the highest skill payer drafted this year, except for the QBs teams will reach for.
I was very impressed. I know it was not the corners from last year but still LSU
Hopkins performance and case pales in comparison to Boyd's. Boyd made himself a ton of money last night. It was easily the best performance of the bowl season thus far.From a next level standpoint he showed more ability than I ever thought he have. Made several throws into tight windows, dealt very well with pocket pressure and showed a mental toughness you can't coach.Boyd could be this year high riser at QB.'EBF said:

What does this mean?
It's sortof like the movie 'The Ring'. First person to comment after 'the dot' is normally never seen from again. No big deal.What does this mean?

I like the other explanations above me better, but it basically means that person " would like to participate in this thread, but I have basically nothing productive to add to conversation."What does this mean?
Makes sense. Weak RB class. No sense logging 300 more carries in college.
I live in Michigan and just heard it on the radio he did declare, so did the TE Simms.
At 6-2" 245, I'll put him somewhere between a TJ Duckett and a Brandon Jacobs.
If you need 1 yard, he will get you 2. If you need 7 yards, he will get you 2.
You should watch a player play before comparing him. I see Michael Bush or a more athletic L. Blount...both are much more agile than Duckett/Jacobs.'lod01 said:
That's what I noticed. He does a lot of dancing at the line and runs soft but due to his size he is able to pick up some yards.
I think he's worse than all four players mentioned here.
Dude, it was a joke. He's 6'2, Duckett was 6'0 and Jacobs 6'4". He really has little value in today's NFL. Don't really need to see him play. Very few teams would have a use for a guy like this and most if not all are already bottomfeeders.
Your discription makes him sound like Ron Dayne.
Not too far off. Bell has passing game skills though. And once up to speed he's tough to bring down, the problem is it takes a while for that to happen and that just won't happen often in the NFL. When he doesn't get up to speed he's easy to bring down.
So you haven't, I rest my case.'lod01 said:
Good news. IMO he's one of the most underrated backs in the draft. Had poor numbers this season because he took a backseat to Jeremy Hill, but his running style and versatility are a great fit for the NFL. I expect him to fall to the 3rd or 4th round of the NFL draft. Maybe even a little later. However, he'll be pretty high on my board. Probably a top 3-4 RB and a top 10-15 overall player.
Vision and speed are probably question marks, but his quickness/acceleration combined with his bowling ball size and pass catching ability makes him a very promising prospect. Though he may be a little too willing to take on defenders head on, could have some injury issues in the future.Isn't he like 5'11"? I wouldn't call that bowling ball size. But he's still a nice pro prospect.
Yea, Ware needs to stop trying to be the alpha dog every time he meets a linebacker or safety in the hole. That's a good way to have a short career. I hope his NFL coaches will discourage that. Ware doesn't have awesome speed and probably won't test great at the combine, but he's a good athlete with efficient movement, good quickness, and nimble feet for such a big back. He also has very rare receiving ability for a 220+ pounder. Check out this catch from earlier this season:http://youtu.be/FPgRS9_22Ls?t=42sIn terms of NFL comps he reminds me guys like Marion Barber and Marshawn Lynch in some respects. The low YPC and poor junior production will scare off a lot of people, but this guy is a player and will definitely make some kind of impact in the NFL. Bear in mind that LSU RBs have a history of being better in the NFL than they were in college (Addai, Ridley). I don't think Ware is Pro Bowl material, but I look for him to become a pretty good pro back.
I wonder what his grade was that he's saying he was surprised it was so high.
He said in the articles that he received a 3rd round grade.
Thanks lol, I didn't see that. What little I've seen of Jamison is impressive, but I don't know enough about him yet.
