    surprised this wasn't posted already....when I read this I slowly start to take notice...at least a little...lol



    Speaking at the Combine on Friday, coach Bruce Arians said the Cardinals "want to build our offense around" Andre Ellington.

    Arians also said Ellington has already added 10 pounds to his frame since the season ended. Considering Arians has always been a pass-first offensive mind, don't expect Ellington to suddenly become a 20-carry-per-game back. But with Rashard Mendenhall a free agent and not likely to be a priority for the Cardinals, Ellington is going to have an opportunity to become the feature back in Arizona. He's an asset in the passing game and could flirt with 50-plus catches and 1,500-plus total yards in 2014. Ellington has serious breakout potential as a sophomore.

    It wasn't??

    Ok like I said before, the GM does not pick who plays.. I'll listen to coach over GM every day.. Wait, what did Arians say at today's presser??


    Arians said RB Andre Ellington has added 10 pounds already. "We want to build our offense around him."

    The owner I'm dealing with wants my 1.03. Honestly, I'd pay it that's how much I like Ellington, but need more due to ADPs.

    That's about like the deal I was offered above when I asked for Ellington. I passed

    Love it! Ellington said he would bulk up and he did. Taking the excuses away from Arians for not letting him get the touches. 10 lbs is perfect. I hope that's all he puts on. Don't want to see him lose his speed and agility. Plus if he adds 15-20 pounds in one offseason.... I'd be worried about a suspension. Just saying

    i will say that im starting to sway towards the buying in on ellington...I listen...Im not so set in my ways that I don't see reason...the arrow is pointing upwards for sure on ellington....im in one non DC league...think ill go try and buy him....my fear is that they sign...mjd...chris Johnson...McFadden....one of those guys and ellington becomes 00-150 carry guy....lots of tear shed around here would result.

    Not if everyone continues to buy low like I keep saying. His worst case is flex like stats so buy him there. No shed tears if bought right!!!!!

    Bleh... Guy in 2qb league told me he'd need a high pick(I have 2, 3, 5, 7, 9) I told him no way I can give a top 5 pick in a 2qb league with there being 2-3 good qbs at least 2 good rbs and wrs..

    He came back with he doesn't like the qbs this year and maybe has 1 WR & 1 RB ahead of him...(he owns 1.1). IMO he's totally trying to down play this class.. Not a chance I give 1.3 in a 2qb dyno lol.. He can keep him

    Lol I feel the same way in a normal 1 QB league. I wouldn't give more than a 1.6-1.7 for him in a 2qb league. I'd laugh if I was asked to give a 1.3 for Ellington in a 2qb league.

    Lol exactly.. He's blowing smoke imo cuz before he asked if I was interested in moving up to 1.1... I told him I wouldn't pay much as this class is deep, and I'm happy with whatever falls to me.

    The fact he wants to trade down he obviously values more then the top rb n wr
