I don't necessarily want a guy in the later rounds, but you can get a good back in these rounds. I wouldn't be opposed at all to taking a guy high next year.

Which I think it is better off waiting to pick a higher round guy next year. I think people would want Edge b/c he may be a better back than Betts. Personally, I want whoever (Edge, Betts, etc., etc.) who's going to contribute to the running game, so it improves from last year (i.e. keeping Portis fresh) and allow JC to have a good season and convince the FO keep him. This way, we can focus on a stud RB in the first round next year.

Your lying half-assed LB (which is not that accurate of an assessment) played RB for three seasons.

I thought you didn't know what GTripp was talking about.

Ok, I got that now. Point is, this guy Glenn is certainly not the answer to our RB situation. I mean, c'mon. We're obviously looking hard at full back, but I think Vinny said they were looking for a scat-back.

Hey, I agree with you. RB is the need position on this team that wasn't addressed. People are going to complain about the OL, but we're very deep on the OL at every position but LT. That was the only real "need" position on the OL. Meanwhile, we have a very poor RB situation past Portis, who just enjoyed his career year. We simply didn't address it.

But oh well, there's always next year to address our two biggest needs.

True; though we've got a good portion of our line nearing that a couple years left of effectiveness mark too. Several spots to fill, and RB in the next year or two should be something that we look at, but that seems to be a position that can usually be filled relatively quickly.
