I think anyone would rather have a HOF LB than a rotational RB. Did the Rams pass one up when they picked Akers?
Personally I think the Rams will be thrilled if Akers gets the lion's share of the carries and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the Rams expected when they drafted him. I also think it would be foolish for them to declare Akers the #1 RB right now: there's nothing at all to be gained by it. I bet it would piss off Hendo (and possibly Brown, too) and if Akers struggles for some unforeseen reason and Hendo ends up being the bellcow then those June proclamations end up looking foolish.
