Trent Richardson is an Elite back.
He is an Elite talent and the Chiefs would be reeruned not to pick him there. The guy is instant offense, similar to the way Berry was instant Defense.
If Orton is re-signed, having a tandem of backs like JC and Richardson would allow a guy like Orton (who uses the Play Action very effectivly) to open up the passing game.
This whole theory that taking an elite back will set this franchise back is full of holes.
What if Cassel or Orton goes down and Stanzi/Rookie Qb have to start? Having a pair of backs like that will make their job a Lot easier.

The only thing worse than passing on a QB would be reaching for a qb that we could get in the second.
That said I'd love to have another great RB to go with Charles. This season is a good example of why you need to have a tandem of RBs. Charles may or may not be the same as before after he recovers. We drafted LJ when Priest was healthy and it seemed strange but then when we needed LJ he was ready to go. Whether or not drafting Richardson will keep us from getting a QB I don't know but I would rather draft a talent with our first pick than trade down for a couple extra bodies.
