Lache definitely need major work in the receiving and blocking facets, but he's better than Todman and Storm. Hell, they're all better than Todman and Storm. I like Royster and Thompson quite a bit in the 3rd down role if they could just stay healthy.

Well they still have Helu.
I remember seastrunk being projected as a 2nd rounder in may. Dude has some legit speed.

I wouldn't go that far. There were some people who loved him during the season but it became apparent pretty quickly that he couldn't catch or block at all. He definitely has the athleticism if he can put the rest of the package together, but the Redskins decided boring ol plodder Silas Redd was a better bet than those above.
If all a running back had to do was take handoffs, then Seastrunk would be good.  Unfortunately for him, there is more to it than that.

Seastrunk was now cut from Carolina practice squad as well.

Wow. I thought he was going to end up possibly being pretty good.

He won't catch on with another team until next year. His fundamentals require a bit more work than most running backs.

 

As a runner though, he'd probably be leading our team in rushing
Lache Seastrunk is yet another young player who could have greatly benefited if there was still a developmental league.

Seastrunk only burnt the Skins on a 6th round pick.. Not really a devastating loss..
