I think if Clarett is still aroud on day two take him in the 4th. He challeneged the collage and NFL rules to try and get into the big time early. I am glad he lost his case but someone was going to do it at some time it is not something to hang him over . We want to waste a top 10 pick on Williams who did the same thing but his Collage system was more despirate/softer on him to let him back in a little double standards don't you think ?

The other reason I want to pick Clarett up or draft for RB is we might be extremely thin here. Rock is unlikely to return, Simon looked like an old stash job on IR but still might not be back and Morton looks to be shown the door after the emergance of Antonio Bates on ST and his contract. That gives us Betts and Portis and given there respective styles and injury records you can rely on neither one all season. We could pick up a buldozer back in FA but i don't see it and Clarett will probably be shunned by the PR of many teams.

Also the FA and trade wires will may be alive by the presence of some very good backs Drougns,(sp?), James, Henry looking for a trade and so on and so on.
