Ka'Deem Carey's highlight reel is pretty exciting.

As much as I like the Carey pick, I still say dont sleep on Michael Ford.

Agreed. I like the way Ford runs.

Just think Ford is destined to be 3rd RB & STer. He showed improvement on STs from the middle of the year on.
Just think the 3rd RB comes down to Lynch & Ford. Who ever shows best in preseason.
Don't forget Carey is a draft pick, while the other 2 were UDFAs.
Carey will get his share of opportunities to make a case for himself ( or not). While the other 2 will have make the most of their reps.

Yeah should have gone in 2nd round

 

[The Derski]

Bear down

It wont hurt him, getting to learn from one of the best in the biz, in Forte.

Sure, It might go that way. However, one thing Ford has going for him is return ability. I dont know if merely going undrafted makes a difference, especially when compared to a 4th round pick. Neither are expensive, so I doubt the amount invested in one vs the other will dictate much of anything. All 3 have different skill sets, so that should be a really intriguing camp battle. Just a hunch, but I think Lynch is going to have to really stand out to make the active roster. Ford isnt PS eligible.

I don't know how it all plays out. But watched Harnash play the last 2 yrs. Just think he would be a great short yardage back. But he will have to prove himself on STs.
Carey will get more than his share of looks to prove himself . Being Pac 12 O player of the year. I think he wins a spot. Gms are usually reluctant to cut 4th rder over over an UDFA if everything is close.
Hence my Harnash vs Ford.
I'm not a Ford return man. He had a couple chances in the reg. season . And did absolutely nothing with them. I'd take my chances w/ Chris Williams there.
I did like what I saw of Ford as a RB , the few chances he had. And like I said I saw improvement in his STs play.
But I don't see him beating out Carey.

I still say dont sleep on Michael Ford.

Only if you cant take a joke.

Stop it....

Does anyone think Shaun Draughn has a legitimate shot at making the team? After Forte, obviously, he's the only guy with extended NFL experience. Kind of surprised we signed him, if we were planning on drafting a RB like Carey, and then possibly signing another RB (AKA Lynch).

I dont see him making the team, unless they maybe want him at FB or something. I dont see him being better than Carey. I have no idea why they brought him in. He hasnt done anything for a while, and honestly i didnt even think he was still in the NFL.
