I saw an early mock draft have Chase in the top 10.  There's no way, but it'd be freaking cool to see a guy that I actually KNOW to go in the draft in the first round.
I just want to see him drafted, especially after what happened with AK80. Chase is a good player though, want to see him get through this season healthy and then take the next step.

He's not an elite NFL prospect at this point. Why do you think he went back for a senior season lol.

I would be extremely sad if Ball was the guy we staked our future on. Is he solid, yes. Is he too slow for the NFL, yes, is he supremely above average in everything, yes, but in the NFL that stands for failure in my book.
If he were a step or two faster maybe, but I just would hate to see a small ish lumbering runningback after Turner is gone. I want someone who can be more explosive if at all possible.

Ball is not one of my top 10 RBs for next year at this point. He isn't great at anything maybe besides vision. Reminds me a lot of Beanie Wells.

He'll be around 4.6 at the combine 4.5 maybe 4.48 or so at his pro day. But his legit time will be in the 4.6 range. He's just not elite at anything, maybe his balance is close, but his balance isn't as good as Wilson who came out this year.
Like adam9, he reminds me of Wells, which isn't all bad, he's just not going to be an NFL star, and they're going to ride the wheels off him this year up in WI.

that's why I don't like him. He has one of the best lines in college football at Wisconsin this past year.
LT - Ricky Wagner - 6'6" 320 - #1 OT in the 2013 draft - potential top 10 pick
LG - Travis Frederick - 6'3" 330 - #1 OG in the 2014 draft - potential 1st round pick if he comes out in 2013
C - Peter Konz - 6'5" 315 - #1 C in 2012 draft - 2nd round pick
RG - Kevin Zeitler - 6'4" 314 - #3 OG in 2012 draft - 1st round pick
RT - Josh Oglesby - 6'7" 338 - #30 OT in 2012 draft - UDFA trying out for Washington Redskins
I could run behind that offensive line. It's easily the best in the college football ranks. Oglesby would have been rated higher if he could pass block better. But a top 10 potential LT, a pair of first round OG's, and a 2nd round Center is easily the best offensive line in college football.

Yeah. I pointed that out somewhere. If he puts up the same or better numbers this year, I would probably consider him to be better. Although I think his numbers should sky rocket downward.

My College Roommate was a Badger fan, so I watch them plenty. I'm not impressed. I wouldn't say he's elite, he's really a good college running back, but much like Mark Ingram was more of a product of a system than his own talent. Richardson was always the better RB for Alabama, even in Mark's faux Heisman run.
