Gerald Riggs Jr. A Redskin?

I don't think we need to pick a RB this year who would not even be a starter. We can pick one up next year if we lose Betts and remember we still have Rock who has done a great job when called on. I would like to see Rock get some more snapps this year. Didn't Timmy Smith get more yards in the SB or does that count?

Smith had 204 in the SB

G2 would be a very nice pickup. Being a Tennessee fan I thought he was going to have a monster season last year, but the entire team went in the tank. I really think someone is going to get a steal with that kid, I don't know his 40 time or how many reps he did on the benchpress, but I do know he can play. We could do a lot worse for a 3rd running back.

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com (http://www.kffl.com/link/156), reports Tennessee RB Gerald Riggs Jr. (http://www.kffl.com/player/13984/nfl), measured a height of 5-10 3/4 and a weight of 229 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash with times of 4.59 seconds and 4.63 seconds. He was able to complete the short shuttle in 4.25 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.15 seconds. He finished with a 36 1/2 inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-7 long jump. Riggs completed 17 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

I'd take him, why not? Stephen Davis was a monster who came from the 5th round

davis was an early 4th round guy ;)

i doubt he'll live up to his father.

we dont need another running back

no one is going to give great value for an RB with a 1 year contract and some injury problems.

The one year contract is not a problem as you should know by now. We trade for guys with only a 1 year contract all the time. As for his injury problems you might have a point, But I still think a deal could be done. And no one said we need great value.

ramsey got a 6th, lloyd (who was owed a 1st) got a 3rd and 4th. Gardner got a 6th. 1 year deal = nuked trade value.

The only way we should consider him is if we are planning on trading Ladell Betts. As much as I would hate to see him go, he is a FA after next year and he is going to be gone anyway. Denver @ 22, Carolina @ 27, NY Jets @ 29, Indy @ 30, & Pittsburgh @ 32 are all looking foe a RB. If we packaged next years number 1 and Betts we might end up with a 1st rnd pick to go with our pick at 53. Then we could address both LB & CB in the 1st and 2nd.

Or if the Jets end up as the team we with the most interest we could wait until Rnd 2 @ 35 and only give up next years 2nd. I say again I would hate to see Betts go but I really feel we are going to lose him anyway next year. And between Rock, Lumsford, and Nemo we should be ok at the Back-up RB spot.

This scenario is not viable. Portis has a tendency to miss a few plays here and there and I would not feel good with Rock as the #2. He fumbles it too much. Betts has the talent to be a starter and he isn't bad running kicks back. RB is an area where you need quality depth.
