I think it would be wise to take a RB somewhere in the draft. A rotation of Ganther/Rock/Betts might be ok for the short run, but we need some fresh legs in here.

Absolutely. Lots of strong running back candidates-Spiller, Best, Dwyer, Gerhart, Dixon-just to name a few.

But there could also be some interesting FA options-Sproles, LenDale White, Norwood, Mike Bell

Personally, I think Spiller is really tempting but he's a top 20 pick and I'd rather look for someone in the 3rd or 4th round

I love Spiller, he can do it all & seems a solid guy. I would love it if we got him, but the smarter move would be a LT if one's available & we have a top 10-15 pick.

Norwood is a burner, I'm surprised he doesn't get the ball more in atl. I thought sproles re-signed last year? did he just play w/franchise tag?

Lendale White is not dependable IMO.

I just seriously doubt he's that injured. I've seen MASSIVE hits far worse than his and those players come back within 1-2 weeks. I am not sure about this, but someone missing what 8 or 9 weeks of the season due to a concussion has got to be extremely rare. He's on IR because he's been ineffective and we have far better options to run the ball. Since Portis has been out we have had a spark on offense. I like Portis, but we all pointed out that he seemed to have "lost a step"...he has a lot of miles on those legs, maybe it's time to part ways...especially with what we are paying him.

It's really brave to flex your keyboard muscles about someone else's brain injury.

Norwood is FRAGILE as they come.. He's constantly dinged up. I'd be fine with a RBBC next season with a banger like White and a speed guy to complement him. Ganther should be at least part of the camp mix.

Eh, bored on a Friday afternoon, nothing better to do than to challenge a message board certified M.D.

4th or 5th round grab noel divine, he is basically steve slayton just a little bit smaller.

If he's really available then, I'd love the pick IF we've addressed the line in previous rounds.

he's projected as a mid 4th, if we don't get oline before the fourth, i may kill some one, and their first name may or may not be vinny

If you need any help, I'm pretty sure BHA has a gun.
