CarolinaBill Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 With Lattimores decision today to declare for the draft, what are your thoughts on the selection of Lattimore this yr with an eye towards the future and a Clemson/Carolina backfield for yrs to come? For those not aware, Lattimore probably will not play in 2013 due to a nasty cheapshot that dislocated his knee and tore his lcl in october.

NoSaint Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 depending how things shake out, he seems like a good one. the knee injuries will drop him, and we very possibly will be spending some picks moving up. it might be a good chance to get extra value talent wise by risking a little on the injuries. really depends on what the doctors say, and how far he slides.

TakeYouToTasker Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Word on the street is that we're going to trade for the 23rd pick in the draft, and will select Lattimore with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If he's there in the 3rd then hell yes. FJ isn't getting any younger & it's a 2-back league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If he's not playing in 2013. No thanks. Kids a beast. But that injury was very unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 He will likely be an early round pick for a team without a lot of holes who can afford to let him heal if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I don't see the Bills taking him unless he were to slide to the 4th-5th round. I just don't see that happening. Before his injury, he was a consensus 1st round pick. As others have mentioned, some team with few needs will likely take a gamble on him in the 2nd or 3rd. I could see the Packers taking a chance on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
