    Serviceable but not long term answer

    Not sure he was worth the #1 pick but we needed an RB. However IMO he's not a franchise RB and won't be here past the 4 year contract.

    I'd rather have him than AP (said so BEFORE the pick, as well). AP is going to miss a few games w/ that style of his, and Lynch can catch.

    Great pick; much better than going for a corner. We all probably would have rather had Willis, but hey...

              Tough call - Willis would have been my pick but he was gone - to be honest I probably would have traded down.

                Yeah it is a tough call. The bills needed a RB and i was all set to take pittman in the 2nd rd. I guess thats why you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.

                I do like the lynch pick though could be worse though we could be the dolphins.

                  Are you saying that there was a deal in the works?

                  Who was it with?

                  What were they offering?

                    Dallas was offering Marv a fun filled weekend in Vegas with their cheerleaders, all expenses paid.

                        Watching alot of his games on TiVo. He's "good" but not "special". He does alot of things "well" but not "great". So I think he should be a steady, versatile RB for us, no question, but it's not like "WOW, we just got a great player". When you use your #12 on your starting RB, IMO you should be getting that wow feeling...JM2c
