No. He's coming back from his 2nd major knee injury. This one occurring in late October. Even though he's "ahead of schedule" some people are suggesting he may miss the entire season to get himself back to full health.

Quite frankly, too much risk to spend a #1 on.

Well, they could have said you're going to shock people. That's broad enough. Instead of stupidly saying you'll shock the world. I can guarantee you that the people in China, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan couldn't give a shit about where he is in his rehab.

At running back i'll be happy with Kniles Davis( A.P. 2.0) or Zac Stacy.

Maybe if recovery is a miracle we trade back and get an extra pick and grab Marcus the end of round 1.

No, I wouldnt spend that early on him with a extra pick. I would rather go Lacy instead. I wouldnt go any earlier thn the 3rd round on him. I still think he will be there imho.

I don't see any way that he'll sniff the first round. 2 major knee injuries is simply too much to ignore. Ideally, he'll go somewhere between e and 7, but I think some team might give him a chance late in the second round.

There are far greater needs on this team than a running back coming off a major injury. In fact, I think it's more likely they trade up for a big pass rusher than they trade back.
