Top FB in the draft??

[Hoserman117]

Ever heard of Peyton Hillis?

Peoples, nobody is knocking Hillis.... He may even be thinking we need someone playing FB while Hillis is RB, that is a very likely scenario. Teams often utilize more than one FB.

It is likely that we will go into the year with 2 fullbacks, so Hillis is one-of course we may want to have someone playing FB for him as he plays RB so he may not even count as one. Spencer Larson is a potential, but I dont think thats where we want him. He's there for emergencies.

So really to keep our options open with Hillis, and for backup purposes, we should be looking at another FB. I think a late draft pick(6-7) would be great, we probably won't be getting impact defensive players at that point, there will likely be an impact FB available as there often is in the later rounds. So if the right guy is there, we should take him as its an excellent opportunity for getting production out of a late round draft pick, if we don't see anyone who excites us, we'll pass. But we should at least be looking

Exactly my point. It's not a knock on Hillis, We need a Quality Back-up in the case that he gets injured or is the Starting RB. Larsen should go back 2 MLB and be a emergency backup. A Quality FB in our scheme = productive run game.

A Quality FB in our scheme = productive run game.

Precisely. productive and helpful to the D...

Yes, someone else gets it. The top 3 FB are predicted to go in rounds 6-7. Brannan Southerland, Quinn Johnson, and Tony Fiammetta would all be great for the team.
