What's the plan after McGahee??

[bigbub2352]

It is painfully obvious our current starting running back will be someone else's problem next year, so that leaves us with the dilemma of what we do in his place...

Do u draft a RB in the first round, and sign a vet?

Do u sign a vet and draft a runnning back on the first day?

Do u sign two mediocore vets and not draft a running back?

Do u not sign any vets draft 2 rbs one on the first day and one on the second?

Do u sign a vet and not draft a RB and hope to find some camp casulties later during camp?

Or do u sign A-Train and keep Shaud, and draft or sign a UDFA this upcoming April?

I personally think we draft a RB on the first day, and sign 2 vets to compete in camp to be the change of pass back to who we draft..
any thoughts?

Marshawn Lynch.

Draft a RB in the 1st or 2nd and have him split time w/ Chris Brown or Corey Dillon.

Trade this years second (Ravens) and next years second to Sd for M Turner and Resign A Thomas. We have a 3rd down back in S Williams. We could take a flyer on M Bush in the 3rd if he is there. A vet a up and coming jorneyman and a rookie.

Anything else?

Marshawn Lynch. We need our second round picks, there are too many holes on the team.

If Willis is available at 12 it's going to be hard to pass that up. I'm completely undecided on what I'd do if Lynch and Willis were both available.

Agreed. As I said in another post I think Michael Turner could be the answer (not The Answer ) if we finally trade McGahee. But do you think he would cost two 2nd round picks? I think that's too much. Maybe just for the 2nd we get from Baltimore (if we do get it)?

If the trade goes down, i think u either go D or RB with first pick, if u go D, then u take a rb with your first pick in the second round

Bye the way how do u give/get rep..

Lynch. We are fine at LB with Spikes-Killer-Ellison

Sign Chris Brown for 1 yr with incentives so that he is not expensive if he goes down with an injury and only achieves a decent salary if he gets a certain amt of yardage and games played in.

Sign Rhodes for 1 yr that is not to expensive and with incentives also. Let him know that he will likely play behind Brown but that he's likely to get good playing time b'cse of injuries and could become the #1 back as the season goes on.

Draft Adrian Peterson if he's there at 12 (yes, this is a possibility now). If not, draft a later decent raw prospect that can be put on the PS and maybe move into 3rd string the following year replacing Shaud.

Draft franchise RB in '08 if we don't get Adrian Peterson.

This is how I would approach it.

The Browns are reportedly intent on using a two-back system in 2007.
The door on Cleveland selecting Adrian Peterson at No. 3 may have not completely swung shut, and will be more realistic if Reuben Droughns is released once his $1.75 million roster bonus comes due next week.

Bring in a vet.

Dillon and draft Bush (aquired from the highly speculated not yet true trade to Baltimore).

Overall draft to look like this..

12 DT A. Okoye
43 RB M. Bush
61 CB C. Houston
74 MLB DeOssie
107 OLB S. Nichols
169 WR Trannon
203 Either Safety or small quick pass catching RB!

I doubt Houston will be there at 61

At the very least doent a Mcgahee trade set the bar for M Turner? I mean If we were to get the 2nd this and next year 5th from the ravens would you be happy then shipping those off for turner?

Agreed. As I said in another post I think Michael Turner could be the answer (not The Answer ) if we finally trade McGahee. But do you think he would cost two 2nd round picks? I think that's too much. Maybe just for the 2nd we get from Baltimore (if we do get it)?

Absolutely. I do agree with you that McGahee's trade should set the bar fot Turner's. Even some could argue that McGahee has shown much more than Turner on the football field (off field is another matter), and they'd be right, that's why I didn't like two 2nd rounds for Turner. But a 2nd and a 2008 5th round or lower sounds great to me

In fact, I'd swap whatever we get from McGahee to get Turner... as long as we get a 2nd, which isn't that clear, because if we just have one 2nd round pick I don't see it happening with all our needs. And SD won't bait for a 3rd and another low pick (my guess).
