He was originally projected as a 4th round pick, but with teams like Houston and Seattle running Zone blocking schemes and their desperate need for a RB, i dont see how he can slip to the 4th with such a strong showing at the combine. Speed AND power. I hope, whether it be trading down or shippin out carlos rogers (cuz of signing Robinson), that we get a 3rd round pick back so we can take him with that pick. If we didnt need OLineman so bad i wouldnt mind takin him in the 2nd round but i think we pick too high in the 2nd for him. Agree?

We might work out a trade down which would give us an extra choice in the second and/or third, a choice which might be used on Hardesty.

Trading down is easier said than done. Thats why if we get Dunta Robinson we can get rid of rogers for a 2nd or 3rd pick hopefully. Its all speculation, 1000 things could happen. I would just like to see Hardesty in the Burgandy and Gold. Have Portis and him pounding the rock 15-20 times, tire out a defense then Alridge come in, change of pace, blow by defenders. That backfield would be MONEY!

Yeah, Trade down is starting to become the new vet min, and since the vet min is practically dead without the salary cap you will start to see an influx of cries for us to trade down. Until a rookie pay scale is implemented it will be very difficult to trade down. Maybe we could do it, but it's doubtful that we could pull it off.

Love the idea of Duanta Robinson, and the 2nd & 3rd for Rogers. As RB goes, i think that Ben Tate from Auburn is a great fit for this offense...One cut guy, a real bruiser, and hes got the speed to break the long run... he ran a (4.43 40yrds)and a 4.12 20yrd shuttle second best of all the backs
