[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 141108, member: 288"] I see Marshawn Lynch as a better size and speed combination as too Peterson. Shorter and more compact, build in the mold of Emmitt Smith and uses all of his skill all the time. He hits the hole fast and like a [b]hammer[/b], and is very hard to bring down when he hits his stride. Lynch has a quick and hard burst, and seems to be easily able to see cutback lanes as they form. He shows soft hands out of the backfield, and having him as an outlet option will endear him to Brett and or our future QB. Lynch tries to hit a homerun too often, cutting to the outside when the better and smarter run is between the tackles. He doesn't stay with lead or pull blockers (not real important in the Zone scheme) very well at all which he will need to temper, and needs to show a [b]higher degree of patience [/b]on many plays. He's also had some lingering and recurring hand and arm injuries, but legs and knees have been solid. Better blocker than AP but still short of someone ready to protect Bretts blindside. Peterson is 3 inches taller and the same weight, longer body and doesn't seem to have the balance that Lynch possesses. Peterson can be an absolute workhorse, the rare kind of back who has the ability to take an offense on his back and carry it. His talent is undeniable, with the ability to lower his shoulder and punish a defender, or to turn his feet and dash around one. Almost unparalleled vision, and runs hard all over the field, then harder near the end zone. Peterson does have some rough spots. [b]He's missed a lot of time with shoulder and ankle issues, particularly a high ankle sprain that keeps seeming to pop up. Between that and how hard Oklahoma used him, there is concern that he may not last long in the NFL. [/b] This is my major concern with him, and the reason I have his stock dropped below Lynch. Can you say [b]Billy Sims[/b]. Honestly his skills as a receiver out of the backfield are a work-in-progress at best (however, he was never asked to be a reciever with Thompson as QB last year), and his blocking ability can be pretty [u][b]laughable[/b][/u] at times. No where near ready to pick up a blitz. IMO - I would draft Lynch ahead of Peterson on long term production and value of the pick. Straight up on ability and potential, they are closer than you Porky have projected in my opinion, but that edge would go to Peterson.
