Brian Leonard?

[23RB23]

Would you dolfans like to see the Fins draft FB Brian Leonard in the 2nd round? Many people have him in rated very high and we are in need of one now that Barnes wont be returning. This guy can run, catch, and more important, block. Look at how Cam used Lorenzo Neal for Tomlinson when they were in San Diego. Cam could definitely use him to the max and he could open up some huge holes for Ronnie to run through. It's definitely something to think about since our offensive line and some other needs might be addressed through free agency.

Absolutely not, we have no need for him. He has trimmed weight down because he wants to be a RB and he's not the right fit for Cam's offense anyway. We need a big bruising roadgrader type FB. He's nothing like Lorenzo Neal.

 

[Geforce]

Leonard is an effective blocker but he wants to play TB not FB in the pros. If you want to bring in a FB who can possibly open holes up for Ronnie, take a look at Cory Anderson from Tennessee.

 

[Disgustipate]

Leonard is positioning himself to be a runningback or a smaller WCO/recieving fullback like a Larry Centers or Patrick Pass. He's not a lead blocker in the mold of a Lorenzo Neal or Mack Strong.

Cameron's offense typically uses a fullback, but it's secondary to blocking. Even the best ones like Lorenzo Neal and Tony Richardson typically dont geta ton of touches.

 

[Stitches]

No thank you. Unless he is there in round 4 I want no part of him, and even then there should be more useful people available to us.

I would love to have Brian on our team. He is not just a monster lead blocker, he can be a change of pace back. If Ronnie is gets injured or needs to be spelled, you have a guy that can soften a d-line. People will NOT want to tackle him. He is the next Alstott. Watch and see.

Unfortunately he is rated the 5th best back in the draft. He will be gone by the end of the second round. Our needs are heavy on the line so we probably will not pick him up, unless Cam stresses the FB/TB for his scheme.

Defintely want him real bad. He is an excellent football player. He is the quintessential 1st down back. A better receiver than most wideouts in the league and a powerfull runner with decent quickness and speed.

With Sammie and Travis and Barnes gone, and Ricky a big ???? mark, He would be a perfect fit at RB. It looks like Eckel is getting a chance to compete for FB.

1st downs = TD's, and this guy has 1st down written all over him. I would defintely make a trade for a mid 2nd round pick to get him. Whether it's trading down from the 9th in the 1st or making a player trade for a second.

The TE market is very favorable for trades.

 

[Stitches]

Yes, by all means lets trade a player who can net us a 2nd round pick, only to draft what would be a back-up RB (at best) on our team, or a tremendously underutilized, undersized, and overvalued fullback.
