    Would you freak if we took a FB on day one?

    just wondering how serious people take the FB position... the earliest i could see taking a FB would be round 3.. but we obviously need one.

    how many of you would freak if we took a FB that early? or how bout this scenario.. what if we drafted Greg Jones to play fb, which he is capable of...

    I wouldn't think that Greg Jones would want to play FB though at least a lot because the FB hardly ever gets the ball. I would be pissed if we took a FB in day one like the Jets took B.J Askew last year!

    If we took one in the 4th round I could deal with it but it would have to be Mike Karney.

    Yes but if you look at from a money perspective a FB isn't going to be paid as much as a RB.

    sure.. but his rookie contract will be based on where he is selected anyways.

    True again! What if his contract has a yards incentive he has to reach to get some kind of bonus would he reach them playing strictly FB and most only see Jones as a 1st and 2nd down back.

    I really don't see Shelton as being a problem. If we go FB in the draft that is fine with me as well.
