Big Jahvid Best fan, but the severe concussion that effectively ended his college career shouldn't be undervalued. Now, when you are talking about a second round RB, and particularly a Shanahan back, we're not talking about a guy who needs to have a long career to justify his draft status. Two or three strong years at the beginning of his career would be fine.

But Best is a guy who could be done after just one more severe concussion. And there's not a whole lot we can do to control when that happens except not drafting him. I think that's just the reality of a serious situation.
