Roaf retiring just solidified LJ as the #1 pick on my draft board.
1) It is not going to affect LJ directly - LJ is more of a north/south downhill type runner. Priest benefited greatly from Roaf and his ability to create a hole where Priest could get to the outside. LJ is a different runner altogether. LJ is much more dependant on the interior line. And he more than proved he is not dependant on Roaf last year in the 3 games totaling 450 yards when Roaf was out.
2) Roaf retiring will mean less blind side protection for Trent. Less blindside protection for Trent will mean a more conservative Trent. A more conservative Trent will mean more running for Larry.
