Sports center and CBS Sports had RB listed as a position of need for the Rams. With Zac Stacy, Daryl Richardson, and Benny Cunningham (I can probably exclude Pead from the conversation), do the Rams not have all the run support required? Maybe we spend a late round pick on one but we only have so many early picks and I would deem FS, CB, OL, WR, QB, and possibly even LB or DL as the candidates to go in the first 5 rounds. Thoughts?
 
I am sure enough that we are going to draft a RB.Richardson for one reason or another, didn't show what we need and Cunningham is little bit to discover.I feel Pead as a former Rams player (I hope I wrong) and I reck on SneSher would like repeat the last year's operation.Obviously with a SEC player ...
 
I think we should take a RB this year, RB's are not in the limelight and you can get a good one later than usual. I like Benny but need to see more he will probably be a guy you keep for depth that can perform when needed. Richardson is a situational guy that didn't look good last year. Pead still has not shown much and Stacy as good as he looked with his tough running style is only in his second year, after year 1some thought Richardson was ready to replace SJ. I am optimistic about Stacy but he needs a good sophomore season not to mention he looks like he is on the cusp of IR way too often. Good RB's 10+ of them this year can be found rounds 2-5

Save the "we all" stuff for others who thought like you did. I never for an instance saw DRich as a true feature back.
 
I like the kid from FSU (his name escapes me) but he can do it all. And maybe most importantly ... he can pass protect. Probably the best in the draft at that.
 
Guys please think unbiased. We have 1 legit HB in Stacy. Cunningham is unproven and was very injury prone in college. Richardson has NO vision. And every team needs 2. We will draft one that is a guarantee.
 
Yes! I like Stacy, but he's not going over 20 carries a game. And so far we haven't seen any consistency from anyone else in our backfield. Plus, and I like Richardson, we can't have a RB that can't pass block. We can't have Bradford getting hit like that anymore!!!!
 
I don't think it'll be bad to catch someone later on that drops. How about if Zach gets hurt again? I don't really trust the rest of the crop much..
 
i don't understand how drich is more of a lock to make the roster than pead, considering Pead took his position after week 12 or 13 last year. Wasn't on the injury report and was still inactive

I like a lot of the Pac 12 RB's coming out(Grice,Carey,Sankey), as well as Seastrunk and Sims, Hyde. I think this is a nice RB class actually, despite the position losing value at the top of the draft. Jeremy Hill is a real boom or bust guy IMO.

That is what I was attempting to say Mojo, The class as a whole is undervalued and we don't have anybody that has put together back to back quality seasons. Hopefully ZC can follow up last year with a good year but with the quality verse value that looks to be available in this draft I would grab someone between rounds 2-4

We can definitely find some help in the middle rds. I'm not sold on Stacy's durability, Benny's ball security, DRichs finding the hole, or Pead finding out he's a pro.
