Bill Byrne’s Scouting Report:

Power. Vision. Burst. Quickness.

Lacy has it all. He’s in a class by himself as the #1 running back in this draft. You want negatives? Maybe he’s just an average blocker for his size. But he’ll seldom go down with out a fight and that means gang tackles – gangnam style. He also possess the hands and agility to factor into a passing game.

Fantasy Outlook

The best running back prospect in the 2013 draft fell in just the right place, and he is one of the top picks in dynasty leagues for 2013 while also having terrific upside in redraft formats. The enthusiasm about Lacy was curbed somewhat, though, when Packers GM Ted Thompson took UCLA RB Johnathan Franklin in the same draft, indicating a probable time-share that potential owners must keep an eye on. “
