While we're collecting the best 2006 RB class, perhaps we could pick up the best 2006 QB's as well. Trade for Roethsliberger and Marc Bulger anyone??

Brian Westbrook Wants To Join Redskins
Former Philadelphia Eagles start Brian Westbrook says he wants to be part of the Washington Redskins organization.
There is one catch: the Redskins have not offered Westbrook a contract.
Westbrook told NFL.com that he had a great interview in Washington two weeks ago and he really wants to play in D.C.
"It went really well," Westbrook said of his talk with the Redskins. "I enjoyed them and the coaching staff. I'd love to be a part of that organization. They have a quality organization -- I just have to find out if I can fit into their system."
Westbrook, 30, played alongside Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia for eight seasons.
The big question is why would the Redskins sign Westbrook if they already have three veteran running back on their roster: Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker?
McNabb is rumored to be a force behind the Westbrook tryout.
The relationship between Portis and new coach Mike Shanahan could be an issue.
Shanahan traded Portis to Washington when he was the Denver Broncos head coach in 2004.
Portis, 28, missed much of the 2009 season with a concussion, as did Westbrook.
Johnson and Paker signed free-agent deals with Washington in the offseason.
Westbrook's brother, Byron, plays for the Redskins and the Westbrook brothers grew up in the Washington suburbs.
