If Prosise plays like garbage, don't we have to keep Pope and fire whoever drafts our RB's?
This made me chuckle (in an "I agree with you" kind of way).
It is weird how our scouting department can be so amazing with late round picks and UDFA but be so clueless with the earlier picks sometimes.
I see Procise as being something akin to the Cordarrelle Patterson of RBs. He's not polished or instinctive, but get the ball in his hands with some green ahead of him and he can make plays. My only real worry for Procise (other than durability) is that he might not be all that fast in the NFL. In college, he didn't blow you away with his pure speed. It was good speed, but not elite speed. He clocked a 4.48 forty at the combine, which is slightly above the NFL average. Normally I woudn't make a big deal of it for a RB, but Procise lives and dies by his speed. Other NFL running backs who run in the 4.50 vicinity compensate for it with vision or skills that Procise lacks.
I hope he has a huge game tonight. He's probably a roster lock either way, might as well be a good roster lock.
