Eh, I hope not. I (obviously) will be happy wherever he ends up that he has the opportunity, but they basically only have Darryl Richardson at this point and a spotty O-Line, which could result in rushing Marcus back from rehab and burdening him w/ a heavy load too early.

Maybe I'm wrong. Just seems like an ideal fit would be A) Committee or Proven Veteran to shoulder some of the burden and B) a stellar O-Line that can help create opportunities.

If Marcus was to listen to your requirements before he chose a college he would of went somewhere else.

Oh, Jesus, seriously? I'm talking about the ideal situation for him to avoid further catastrophic injury and have the sustained, successful football career he deserves.

Get off your high horse. No one is a bigger proponent of kids staying in-state than I am. I know his family. This isn't a question of his "toughness" or "desire" or whatever you're trying to posit I'm saying. If he had only sustained the one injury, (or better yet, neither), he'd be a likely Top 15 pick and would be expected to be what Trent Richardson was for the Browns this year and I would have little doubt he was capable of delivering. I don't have doubt now, but the reality of his injuries (and his current rehab of the most recent one) mean that expecting him to be an every-down back or go to guy in the 2014 season (which St Louis would need, considering their depth chart) could potentially put him in greater jeopardy.

No one believes in him as a person or athlete more than me. This isn't questioning his toughness. I don't want to see him go to a crappy team that expects too much from him early and doesn't surround him w/ players who can directly protect his well-being.

Lmao touchy subject? Can anyone explain to me how he thinks I was on my "high horse" by stating what I did? I was just saying the Rams are one of the teams likely to take him. You were selfish as was I when I wanted him to play for the gamecocks when our o line was spotty and our qb play wasn't very good and we were mediocre. So I can be "wishful" he goes to the Rams so get over it.

Also that's cool you know his family you must feel special bc idk how that fit into what we were talking about.

[cack]

Both of you cool it

So the Rams need a RB yesterday I don't think they can spend a draft pick on a guy that may not play this year.

[CockyInGA]

I think he'd end up in Atlanta before St. Louis.

Falcons released Michael Turner and have a lot of faith in Jaquizz Rodgers.

Lattimore could be a solid pickup for the Falcons (not to mention I'd love to be able to go to a game locally to see him play).

End the end, though, I don't think it's a matter of "who needs a running back"...it's a matter of "who's willing to take the gamble on someone who may or may not be immediately able to play".

Really hoping my prediction of him still going in the first round holds true, though. No matter where he ends up, I'll be one of the first in line to buy an NFL Lattimore jersey.

Some have 49ers taking him but with Jackson on the way out. Lattimore being a Jeff Fisher type of player. I'm thinking St.Louis takes him in the second round.

[STEPHONGILMOREFAN!]

....dear God, dont let marcus go to that horrible of a team. Amen.

[uscfreek88]

doubt it...that franchise cant waste a pick on a guy who may not be healthy

He was late third to fourth. Marcus will elevate any team that gets him. The same mock draft had Nuk Hopkins to the Panthers. I goggled many sites and there are so many different opinions. All of them have and either this team or somebody else!
