Dispatches from Senior Bowl practice

I didn't forget about Ingram. I just don't think much of him.

Gotta disagree here. You're leaving out a lot of talent outside the Big 12. Here's how I've got them ranked (roughly):

1. Ingram - Not a burner but a true all-around RB

2. Leshoure - High-risk/High-reward type back. Has excellent size and reportedly good speed, but a bit of an unknown.

3. Ryan Williams - Poor senior year, but has the skillset to be an NFL back.

4. Daniel Thomas - Lacks the speed and burst you look for in the NFL, but has good vision and power.

5. Deon Lewis - Regressed this year, but is still very talented. This is the guy I'm least sure on.

6. Kendall Hunter - Looked good at the senior bowl, but unless he find a team that believes in him (ala Ray Rice Balt), he's going to be knocked as too small to be a 3 down back.

7. Roy Helu - I have him ranked here, but I secretly think he could be one of the best of the class. He's got the size, the speed, the blocking, and the work ethic to be good.

8. Demarco Murray - Good speed, good size, but doesn't jump out at you as being a difference maker in the NFL

9. Jacquizz Rodgers - He's electric on the field, but may not time well enough to get an early shot at playtime. He'll have to earn it.

10. Shane Vareen - Meh. Kind of a copy of Helu, but worse.

 
Just from visually watching Mark Ingram, it's pretty obvious to me that he's heads and shoulders ahead of any other runningbacks I'm familiar with.

 
Tried to watch a little of this. Can't. So ridiculously boring. No blitzes, only two types of coverages, cornerbacks can't press? Lame.
