[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1028735, member: 18006"] Oddly enough, this very fact is what makes me excited about this year's RB class. :laugh: Running back is an important need in this year's draft, but we're not desperate for a Barry Sanders. We don't need the best RB on the board; don't even need the 4th, 6th, or 8th best. We just need to come away with a solid RB who's not a reach or a project, and that seems like a good description of the whole posiition group. There seem to be about 8 - 10 guys who you have about 2 (maybe 3) who are at the top of most people's list oif Top 10, but even so, from what I'm seeing as a fan there's not a major dropoff between the top 2 or 3 and the 8th guy on the list. I'd be happy with any of them. I have no doubt that in reality, some of them do have some definite advantages over the others, or substantial flaws, but I'm in no position to spot those, and I trust our scouting department to figure that out. That's why god created the NFL Combine. One thing with running backs is every year there seems to be at least one GM who goes temporarily insane and overpays for an RB. I don't think any of these guys are legitimate Day One picks in a draft that's so loaded in other key positions, so it seems very unlikely that any team is going to go 1st Round this year, but then again it [I]always[/I] seems unlikely - and in quite a lot of years someone suddenly jumps up and does it anyway. There'll probably be someone who loses their senses and takes one of these RBs in Round 2, but when we get into Round 3 (and maybe even Rd. 4), we should find several to choose from who will probably fit the profile of what we want to add to our offense. You mean Hicks? He's your top guy? Or are you just thinking he's the best one likely to fall to where we'd be confortable drafting him? Most people seem to rate him below several others; what is it you like about him? I don't have deeply held opinions on most of these guys, and I'm always looking to learn something someone else knows but I don't. [/QUOTE]
