Come on people, let's get real. There is no need to sell our souls to find a decent running back. If we sign one of the vets like Chris Brown or A-Train and use a 2nd or 3rd on a young RB, we'll be fine. We can get plenty of production out of the position without mortgaging our future by giving up draft picks. Our D is full of holes and since our FO isn't doing anything about it in FA, we're forced to rely on the draft and need every pick we can get our hands on.

Re: Turner, Trading up for Peterson, etc....
They are going to resign A Train and draft a RB with their first of two third round picks.
That's what Im thinking these days anyway -

I hope we get a guy on day two that just lights the world on fire from the get-go. I know, it's unlikely, but I'm allowed to dream every now and then.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Turner, Trading up for Peterson, etc....
The way I see it is ...
We've resigned Shaud Williams.
If we draft Brian Leonard we have a top character guy with impressive athleticism who can become a feature back with us. Also with the versatility to play FB.
If using the extra R3 pick in the 2008 draft, we can move up and get a smaller fast RB like Steve Slaton, we have a new 'thunder and lightning' option.
Taking Leonard represents a more versatile option than picking up Michael Bush or Tony Hunt etcComment

Re: Turner, Trading up for Peterson, etc....
Shaud Williams is too small. I don't want to see any RB situation that has him above 3rd on the depth chart because it won't be good enough.Comment

Re: Turner, Trading up for Peterson, etc....
we finally beef up the o-line and then we trade our back. Im fine with trading willis, but don't tell me our best option is Chris Brown, Anthony Thomas, Shaud williams, why did we even trade him?im looking to upgrade the position drafting a back is fine, im ok with Lynch, but im pissed as hell that we need to fill huge holes at HB,FB,CB,DT,LB we can't fill all those needs in the draft. I guess i would like to see them at least talk to some of these few remaining quality freeagents.

He probably threw a party when it became official that Willis was traded to the Ravens. he was the biggest advocate for getting rid of Willis. I would have loved to hear his comments on the trade.Originally posted by SABURZFANComment

Sign Brown and draft Bush or Kenny Irons in the 2nd and we are good. Those 2RBs are flying under the radar and in my opinion, both will be good NFL RBs.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment
