Mark Ingram: Why The Miami Dolphins Should NOT Draft Bama's Star Running Back

Hello everyone,

New member here. I found the site from Chris Bleacher Report blog. Nice work there and clearly a cool site here as well.

In regards to the article, I couldn't agree more. But this ream is in such dire need of some playmakers on offense, it wouldn't surprise me if this regime takes Ingram if they keep the #1 pick or unable to trade down and pick up the second rounder they want. Ireland has shown no ability to date to find any offensive players in the draft (Long doesn't count-anyone could make that pick) since he's been in Miami. If they don't trade down and Ingram is there, I think they'll panic under the pressure and take him knowing it's one and done for them if another losing season is in our future. I hope I'm wrong on all accounts.

Good article. Some people compare Ingram to Emmit Smith but even Smith was not as slow AND he ran well behind a great line. We did not have a great line in 2010. Build the line up, fill the RB position cheaply through FA and/or the draft. There is so much talent in this generation of runningbacks that #15 on a RB is a luxury pick when there are pressing needs.
