there was discussion on Montee Ball/ Ronnie Hillman in Bloom's post draft 100 thread so i posted this below but decided it strayed too far off topic so starting another thread:
John Fox is a good coach for the ground game but IMO not for the fantasy ground game longterm. He can provide you with an underrated vet for a few-games-at-a-time stretch but longterm his grades are below.
all RBs listed were pick 3.03 or earlier
I am speaking in fantasy terms only (not true real-life value)
DeShaun Foster pick 2.02 - had his moments
Eric Shelton pick 2.22 - meh
DeAngelo Williams pick 1.27 - you almost had to have a plan on how to ruin this guy's career (step one: draft him rd one but dont play him, step two: when he finally is ready to "earn" snaps, draft another rd 1 rb, step three dont trade him when contract up, etc)
Johnathan Stewart pick 1.13 - you almost had to have a plan on how to ruin this guy's career part deux
Ronnie Hillman pick 3.03 - looks the part, but Ronnie don't jump-cut in the hole when there is no one in the hole on 2nd and short and 3rd and short in playoff game or that tells the staff to draft...
Montee Ball pick 2.26 - we'll see

Has there EVER been a drafted RB by Fox who turned out to be a longterm RB1?because just like w Hillman, the longer it takes to get on the field, the more likely someone will usurp your shot for a big roleHarper sits (and comes in on passing situations) or is cut.Harper sits? Im sure he'll be in nickel and dime, but base?If it takes Vaccaro a year to start on that defense something went terribly wrong.
Edit: And why do we (not just you Sig, lots do this) care if Fox plays Ball this year when we're considering these guys for dynasty purposes?
