running backs

also, leveon bell is in the last year of his rookie deal, as the best back in football, i'm sure he's gonna set the market for rb

AP money seems a little much, but maybe 10 a year for bell, with lots of money tied to him not getting suspended again

and you know whats funny

bell 775 attempts 3356 yards (4.3 ypa) 21 tds. 205 receptions for 1805 (8.8 ypc) and 4 tds receiving

lacy 788 attempts 3435 yards (4.4 ypa) 23 tds. 101 receptions for 900 yards (8.9) and 6 tds receiving

bell is considered by many to be the best back in the game right now

Lacy's problem is simple. There were questions about Lacy's injury history and durability coming out of college, and those questions remain and are maybe enhanced. The Packers have been very good at structuring contracts to pay a player well if he remains productive, but to give the team an out with minimal cap hit if he doesn't. No reason not to do that with Lacy

I desire a RB to be drafted with high intelligence combined with the skills necessary to succeed in the NFL. I desire someone in this mold:

This, plus all the weight controversy will drive down his price. He'll still get a good chunk of interest though. I don't think he'll get over $7M, and if he does it probably won't be GB. I'd prioritize other players over him. This is also a very good draft class for RB.
