BlueShoe Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 McShay’s options for the Colts at #24 Scenario 1: Player everyone talks about.Scenario 2: Another player everyone talks about.Scenario 3: If other options aren't attractive, Indianapolis could opt for Lacy as the potential engine that drives its power running game. I am not saying that Lacy is our pick, because I don’t have a crystal ball; however, I have said several times that I believe Lacy is on our board at #24. For everyone who keeps blowing it off as a serious possibility, well brace yourself, because if the chips fall the right way then he could be the Colts next draft pick.

MTC Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I would like Lacy on this team. We have a better offensive line than last year and the running game was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllYouNeedIsLuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I really don't know why people on here have such problems with running backs being taken in the first round. I know we have other needs but look how Alfred Morris carried the Redskins last year. Lacy is probably a better prospect than Morris ever was and despite what people think, a good power running back can be key to a successful offense. Also, it's not like were drafting early in the 1st round. At #24 there might not be much top end talent around and so I'd be fine with Lacy, I guess. Unless Rhodes, Hopkins, Cooper, Warmack, Jones or Williams are on the board, I'm fine going with Lacy. I'd much rather that be the case than draft a guy like Margus Hunt who's already 26 and by the time he reaches his prime with be 30 and in decline physically.

Because all 6th round RBs are studs. lol Most of the members on this board believe that we can pick any back in the draft, in any round, and we will have the next Marshall Faulk. It's unbelievable.

Lacy isn't even the best RB in this draft. You couldn't be further from the truth. At least one RB has been taken in the first round over the past 50 years. There is a reason for that. Add in the extra year we get by selecting a RB in the first round, and I believe it will make RBs more popular in the late first round. Just look at last year when 3 backs were taken in round 1.

Gavin Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Dont get me wrong I like Lacy but with the other issues this team has right now 1.Needs another Guard2.Need a backup FS especially since Bethea is in his last year3.Need another pass rushing OLB4.Need another Corner5.D Line depth I'd question Grigsons ability as a GM if he went and drafted a rb who is by far and away not going to be the BPA at 24, I think Lacy is a day two pick anyway and not for us, good player but he would be way overdrafted at 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colts_Fan12 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No way. He's gonna be a ram or steelerWell the rams need WR and o line so prolly not going there and steelers now need WR after losing Wallace and more then likely sanders so he may still be there not saying I want him but if we picked him I would trust Grigson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB is the 1 position that can have an istant impact and take pressure off Luck day 1..All other positions take more time to develop and integrate players except RB, We can still get a quality Guard in the 3rd...Frederick, B. Jones, Winters, Schwenke...Thomas is a good guard and Iljalana is supposed to be healthy. BEST EXAMPLE- LOOK AT WHAT DOUG MARTIN DID AT TAMPA AS A 1ST ROUND RB.."Muscle Hamster" was a beast...What happens if Ballard gets hurt? You ok with Donald Brown and Carter?

I am good going a lot of different directions and can see several picks that would be justified. It amazes me that so many people are against drafting Lacy at #24, when it is obvious why he is a good fit and why he has tremendous value at #24.

Ballard has good talent and played with a ton of heart last year, but he is all we can depend on right now. Too much hard work goes into preparing a team, only to have it all fall apart if he goes down. Plus we need fresh legs at the end of the season.

jshipp23 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's more than 1 round. You are much more likely to get an All-Pro type game changing RB in round 1 or 2 and we don't have a second...Alfred Morris is more an exception than a rule, and he ran behind a great line and had the advantage of defenses not knowing if he or griffin were gonna run..History backs this up 100% Teams are going RB by committee because there aren't many big time backs around...Lacy is and will be big time..IMO, go ahead and find your stud RB in the 6th...good luck. You may find a decent back or a change of pace back, but odds are you won't find a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
