The biggest problem I have with your argument in this thread, Parker, is that Trent Richardson is not going to affect this team's philosophy with regards to QB in any way.
They are going to continue to address the QB position exactly as they have for the last years, with retreads and rejects, regardless of whatever else they do. This team is like a garage band with no lead singer. Hey, they get to play in the garage. They don't need to play on stage.

I watched some segment on the draft the other day and the panel started talking about using a 1st rounder on a RB saying that teams shouldn't and it waste the value of the pick. They said that you don't usually get enough time out of a running back due to the physical toll taken at the position. I found it interesting so I checked this seasons top five backs and where they were selected.
Maurice Jones-Drew 2006 / Round: 2 / Pick: 60 Ray Rice 2008 / Round: 2 / Pick: 55 Michael Turner 2004 / Round: 5 / Pick: 154 LeSean McCoy 2009 / Round: 2 / Pick: 53 Arian Foster Undrafted 2009 How about 3 of the 5 being selected in the 2nd round near the same picks. If I get time I want to check out the next 10 to see if that 2nd round figure keeps showing up.

He would definitely fix our pathetic Red Zone offense that probably cost us 2+ games this year.

and I'd take 3 years of Adrian Peterson over 10 years of Glenn Dorsey
but that's just me...I think you can replace a Glenn Dorsey via fee agency (see Shaun Smith)..but Adrian Peterson's don't grow on trees... you can find RB's anywhere, any time (Khalil Bell, Evan Royster)...but ones that have true playmaking ability (Peterson, Johnson, Charles, MJD)...are hard to find |

No, but I bet if you look at all the other positions that were drafted top-15 not every single player would be scarred by injury, bust, or switching teams. I didn't just post the RBs that didn't work out. That's the complete list of top-15 RBs in the past 10 years and every single one of them has had issues.

well RB's, since the Benson year, haven't gone high for a reason...no one is going to pay $40M to a RB, ever...
now that draft slotting is completely different, RB's will go high again. Believe it. |

you can take a Trent Richardson 3 overall now and not have to pay him $40M guaranteed.

the new CBA is going to totally change the draft in terms of trading up, down, and taking players in specific spots early
