I like the trade. If Betts were the answer Duckett would have never entered the equation, plain and simple. Secondly, I haven't seen enough of Sellers to come to any real conclusion about his ability to 'run' the football in short yardage situations effectively and consistantly. Just haven't seen it.

More than anything I think Duckett gives us an immeditate, bona fide goal line threat that defenses have to respect. I envision him cut in the mold of Mike Alstott, so to speak. Perhaps he can win a game or two with his elbows! (I'm still seething over that one!) As far as us giving up too much and all this crap, the real details of the trade are sketchy at best and someone could still be traded to off set some of the picks.
