As far as the OP goes, you underestimate how much Dre Kirkpatrick is an insane man who doesn't really play a very good CB. He gets by on his incredible athleticism but finds himself out of position a lot.

Kareem Jackson says hey.

Shit, I'd take 10-6 every year, and you know making the playoffs that many times in a row you'd luck the fuck out eventually and win the SB. It is a numbers game *moneyball.

Yeah. But this is about drafting a RB, not about whether or not we're drafting a QB.

QB is the obvious answer.

But passing up one of the best talents in the draft because our QB isn't there is not how you build a talented team.

i was responding to his post...the claim you win a superbowl with a jagoff QB and a bunch of great RBs is demonstrably false...

and we already have an Elite RB...not sure why people claim we need one...do we need two? in my opinion, no...

Because there is a ton of uncertainty surrounding our elite back. He's not built to handle 350+ carries. Doing so will drive JC into the ground.

That's even if his surgically repaired knee survives his first season back.

I guess i'm one of the few people who doesn't want to hinge our running game on a bum knee and Jackie Battle.

No it's about failing hard now so that we have as many chances to draft that franchise qb as it takes in the future.

Personally, I don't like the idea of taking a RB that high in the draft. Though, if he's the best player there at #11, you take him. Or try to trade out and get more picks. But throwing your hands up and complaining furiously about drafting someone with talent because it keeps us from getting a QB in the future is ridiculous.

I've been seeing Richardson as high as top 5 in a lot of mocks. He didn't necessarily impress me as much as I'd hoped in BCS championship game.

Decastro is versatile at either guard spot or RT. Take the boring pick and move on.

He got 96 yards and a TD against the 2nd best defense in the country, a defense who were treating the box like it was a clown car on account of how many guys were stacked in it. How was that not impressive?

Alright you fools. So we won't get an elite QB, bank on that you spaztastic idiots. Let's get an OL 11th overall, and watch him battle injuries like Okung and that dude on the Skins. Wasted pick. Oh and what team lately has won without an elite two RB tandem? If no draft day moves and Richardson is there, you get him or suffer under .500 seasons forever.

Your top 10 running backs for this year:

1. Maurice Jones-Drew - 2nd Round
2. Arian Foster - undrafted
3. Fred Jackson - undrafted, invited to training camp after 2 years in a semi-pro league
4. Darren McFadden - 1st round (injured on IR)
5. LeSean McCoy - 2nd round
6. Ray Rice - 2nd round
7. Michael Turner - 5th round
8. Matt Forte - 2nd round
9. Adrian Peterson - 1st round (injured on IR)
10. Marshawn Lynch - 1st round

Others of note:

Jamaal Charles - 3rd round
Frank Gore - 3rd round
Demarco Murray - 3rd round
Priest Holmes - undrafted
Terrel Davis - 6th round
Legarette Blount - undrafted


Your theory makes no sense, especially considering the fact that WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN ELITE RB ON OUR ROSTER DRAFTED IN THE 3RD ROUND.

if anything, there is zero doubt that the type of RB we need is the exact kind you can draft in later rounds.

Ok. So 7 of your top 10 backs were taken in the first two rounds. Not rounds 4-7.

Got it. Thanks.

Oh, and our Elite RB, is coming off of an ACL surgery and has never been a workhorse. If you want to be unbiased, then present all the facts.

we already have an elite RB you moron

and no superbowl team in memory has had 2 'elite' backs...

Blount was widely regarded as a 1st round pick until the punching incident.
