McKinnon was great, but any team that thinks, "It's cool, we've got McKinnon" is going to be disappointed when he breaks down again. So we're left with everybody's favorite nobody Derrick Gore.

We'd have worked harder to find another RB if CEH wasn't basically guaranteed the top spot for 2 years (until the playoffs last year). And he's guaranteed a spot on the roster this year and at least some time as one of the top two backs, until/unless they finally give up on him and relegate him to #3. Then it will be over.
If he wasn't a #1 pick, the way he looked last year I think he doesn't even make the 53-man roster. He's slow, small and has bad vision. And for whatever reason they don't trust throwing the ball to him either.
But again - I'm not arguing that a RB is never worth it at #32 like some are here. Just pointing out that it sucks that we had to give CEH so much playing time last year when he basically had one highlight all year (the TD where he banged off a bunch of guys then stomped around in the end zone) and then of course got hurt immediately after. Our OL opened up some massive holes last year, and CEH looked like me running through them.
Like any #1 pick - you're kind of married to them for 2.5 years-ish before you can give up on them. Unless they're just a complete joke.
