15) Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina – Lattimore is such a tough one for me to place. He would have easily been the top back in this draft before another season ending knee injury set him back, yet again. Now there is concern that he won’t even be able to play in the 2013 season. With that said, if a team is willing to spend a 5th, 6th or 7th rounder on him, they need to just put him on IR and start him in the NFL in 2014. Don’t risk him coming back too soon, let him heal up and learn from behind the scenes.
I’d love to see Lattimore go to a team with an incredible leader for him to learn behind. The first and obvious choice is Minnesota. I doubt they’d take him, in fact, I’d bet money that they don’t even have RB anywhere on their list of concerns, as it should be, they don’t need one. But if Lattimore had someone like AP guiding him, he’d become a superstar running back in the NFL.
