[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 621103"] I agree with that...you have to allow a little more time to pass judgement. A cautionary note, however...a little time is often all it takes with a RB. History shows star running backs show star qualities early; you don't often see one emerge later unless he was stuck on the bench behind some stud or was injured at the get go. I'd say the one position in the NFL where the skill is more inherent, instinctual, ingrained. in the DNA, or whatever term one wants to use, rather than coached, is RB. You can teach him blocking techniques and polish route running, stuff these guys are often not asked to contribute in college, but the style and instincts that go into running the ball are something of mystery. Every once in a while you see a guy like Lacy transform himself in the pro game, but that's an uncommon thing, and it showed up right away. Wait for a few money games...then revisit...as you suggest. Of course that's too late for a fantasy draft, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
