08:02 AM ET 04.25 | Mark Ingram's knee has received what seems to be more attention than his game these days. "Durability is a critical factor for that position," Miami general manager Jeff Ireland said. ... "If the guy's been hurt during college, those are things we're going to look at, for sure." Ingram could be headed to Miami, which has the 15th pick in the first round. Also, New England, which has the 17th, 28th and 33rd picks, is in the running back market. Even with knee surgery and a slew of other nagging injuries at Alabama, Ingram believes he can carry a full load in the NFL. "I'm a complete all-around back," Ingram said. "I could be in the game [on] first down, second down, third down, goal line and short yardage. I can pick up pass protection, go out of the backfield and catch the ball."

As long as he can stay healthy. Which is no given. I would look for a more reliable back.

You can never have too many running backs. Still, he'd be better off in New England or other pass-first team, so he would NOT have to be an every-down guy.

His situation sounds similar to Cadillac Williams, a great college running back who got injured a lot. Was taken in the top three by Tampa Bay... and got injured a lot.

This guy is a big question mark... not his ability, but his durability...some team would have to wager a lot of money for a first rounder with knee issues

agree with this - don't think he would last too many seasons in the AFC North.

I hope he gets red flagged all the way to the Gren Bay Packers at pick 32.
