The RB Position in Today's NFL

While we are waiting...

I think Seatlle has hurt itself by signing S. Alexander to an eight-year $62 M contract. It's going to weaken their ability to fill other positions on the team.

Running the football is an innate talent, it isn't something to be learned from experience. Consequently, the RB position is one that smart football GMs fill out of the draft in order to reduce the hit on their salary cap.

The best move: Pick a good back with a number one or number two pick, pound his young legs for four or five years, then trade him or cut him loose and plug another one in.

Any thoughts?
