would you take a flyer on marcus lattimore late?

if the mindset is more for 2 or 3 years down the road rather than for this upcoming season, then absolutely

It's all about loading and reloading this team. In another 4-5 years draft another rb.

Teams that are in contention have guys step up after choosing to not resign expensive non vital positions.

Let's worry about guys for several years down the line after we find starting caliber guards, safeties, and corners. If they had let Williams or Stewart walk and we had no major holes and we had a full set of draft picks....then maybe.

Because last years 4-7 picks filled in so nicely and filled all our needs...seriously getting anything out of a pick drafted after round 4 is a win. so even if it is a rb the value trumps picking some need who will get cut anyway.

We only have 5 picks and little room to snag FAs.....and we have lots of needs.

You also don't evaluate late round draft picks after just a year....that is silly. They aren't drafted to be players now.

I would actually consider it in the 4/5th to be honest.

RB's are and should be released after age 26/27, he could take it slow this year and next split time with Stew then next year take over for Stew.

i was just going to say 4th and unload dwill and/or stewart and roll with the human bowling ball, the human pretzel, and armond smith.

What is the logic behind this move other than being a 'beast'?

We are STACKED at RB (with or without D-Will and J-Stew) and Lattimore has been injured two years in a row.

Adding possible first round talent at the back end of the draft, cheaply, and making future expensive vets expendable.

I like how some posters are talking as if there will for sure be better players available

Thank you. Seems pretty straightforward to me, too.

Who the hell is a gamecock fan?

Hey Kurb we are ok at RB I mean we have $10M+ tied up in RBS...no issue here.

[csx]

We aren't in a position for this to be an option.

Gamecock fans are the ones insisting he is going to be ready to go for sure at the beginning of the season. His doctor, Andrews, says he has a lot to do.

[CatMan72]

If we had more than 5 picks (thanks Hurney!!!!) I would. We have too many needs though.

This, not enough picks this year to take flyers on a guy at a position where we're already well stocked.

btw....i grew up in myrtle beach and the tigers were my team. any insinuation that i am a gamecock fan deserves a flaming bag of turds from a nursing home at your door and a donkey kick to the nads.

Being a Gamecock fan would only improve your station in life.
