Some productive years between those 4, but none worth a top of the draft pick... RB's just have way too short of a shelf life to spend that type of value. We need a player that will be able to give more than 3 or 4 productive years drafted at the top of our draft.

With that being said, we'll probably get a DE like Melvin Ingram and try to convert him to OLB... or another goddamn TE.

I read and understood fully what you wrote. The only way to get them to value the QB position is to completely crash and burn. Drafting Richardson VALIDATES their way of thinking. Why in the world would you want to do that?

Hey im all for getting rid of castle, but if you have an elite potential pro bowl RB as in Richardson fall in our laps you take him.. The life span of running back is longer the way teams are using them now. The way we've been scouting and drafting rb's lately I wouldn't trust any choice but Richardson.

Sure, let's give them all of the pieces they need to prolong our misery as long as is humanly possible.

Lol. I feel your pain.

Agreed.
I'd love to have him, but you just can't go there unless you're a team with few holes.
As anticlimactic as it'll be...give me an Offensive Tackle there.

IF Trent Richardson is still on the board when we pick I could see Cleveland as a possible suiter for a trade down. I'm not sure when their 2nd first is but its in the 20-24 range (Falcons pick). I would draft Dontari Poe with that pick while grabbing whatever extra picks we could get from them. I would think they would give up a bit if they were interested. They've severed ties with Hillis and just imagine if they got both RG3 and Richardson.

There are a few mid-late round prospect RB's that I wouldn't mind seeing, like...

Robert Turbin
Vick Ballard
Tauren Poole

Take Richardson. With him and JC in the backfield, the Chiefs can run the draw up the middle with McCluster. The other team will never see it coming...Brilliant!!

Jets
Bengals
Browns

Would they give up their next years 1st? Because there is a pretty good chance that that would be a top 10 pick :drool:

I wouldn't mind taking the RB from Washington. Polk I think, if he is around later in the draft.

I love trade downs in some years, staying pat or trade ups in others. This year, I say trade down. My favorite scenario is to see us trade down to about 18 and still get a guy like Tannehill (plus extra picks). Then in the 2nd, I would take Kelechi Osemele and convert him to RT.

So take a right tackle which you can get in the 4th round over a gamer changer? That doesn't make sense.

Really doesn't matter.

I like the idea mentioned of us trading back into the second round and picking up an extra 1st for next year. We all know we are not drafting a 1st round QB this year but perhaps it would set us up to package the two first round picks to get to the top of the draft next year for someone like Barkley.
