If you were Vinny, what would you do to keep your job?

What? Why the hell take a RB w/ our first pick in the draft? It's almost on the level of grabbing another WR.

I wasn't saying the Skins should draft a RB. By "take it," I meant CJ Spiller is holding the proverbial winning lottery ticket (a 1st round pick right now), and he's not cashing it.

I'd like to add a RB with homerun ability if possible, but not at the expense of building our lines, and definitely not with our 1st pick.

Sorry i must be a little slow tonight. Just so I understand you mean take the guy to trade for more picks or current players right?

Anyway, a speedster back would be sweet but IMHO we're wasting the talent we've got @ RB right now in that we don't utilize Betts or Portis to their respective strengths. Betts should be running between the tackles in the first half and mixing things up catching passes out of the backfield. Portis should be our "finisher" starting in the 3rd and stretching plays out much longer than we currently see.

(of course this all assumes we upgrade the o-line as you mentioned)

Maybe I should edit my original post. I do not, repeat, do not want to draft a RB with our 1st pick. O-line or LB. Period.
