Not worth a first or second round pick when we have other needs.
I don't know if the Ball comparison to Martin is apt or not, but let me translate what you just said: "If this guy is going to be a future top-5 all-time rusher, hall-of-famer, and true professional, there's no way I want to take him in the second or possibly third round. I have scheme concerns."

I'm less than fully convinced.
