Should We or Could We Draft Steve Slaton from West Virginia

[BDBohnzie]

not just this week...but any Monday-Wednesday after a loss...

The Skins could do far worse than Portis and Betts. While Slaton is a very good back, there are more important holes to fill at this point than grabbing Slaton, who most likely will be a top 15 pick...Plus as a junior, he may elect to stay with Pat White for a 4th year...speculation at its finest!

Slaton will probably go around number 30 in the first round.

Slaton is actually beside the original point. He was just an example. Do the Skins need to draft a young rookie RB and keep building the o-line from free agency?

Then when writing the original post, you should have made that the post, not including Steve Slaton...using him as an example would have been fine, but it muddles the entire thread but singling out Slaton.

While it'll probably happen, I can see one of two things that'll prevent it.
1) Knowing he will not be drafted in the first round. If it isn't guaranteed, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in Morgantown
2) If he emerges in January as a potential Heisman candidate.

This is from the original post....

Would drafting Steve Slaton or at least a top rated running back be better for the Skins than working free agents like Portis?

Why didn't you say that in the title? Why not a title like "Should We Draft a Running Back?"

Good Lord, you guys are nit picky.
