Who Will Be Our #1 RB?

[Joemailman]

Red,

Sounds to me like his offensive line jelled the last month after being inconsistent for most of the year.

I'm just going to throw this out here, Marshawn Lynch. I know a lot of you don't like him,but he fits our system extremly well and if he's there at 16 I can't see TT passing on him. I think that Lynch is TT number 1 priority in the draft.

lynch has to be there at 16 for TT to draft him

TT can't sit back and let every other RB get signed up while he sits aroung and hoped lynch will still be there when we pick

Travis Henry is a fumble machine. Jamal Lewis is more beat up then Green ever was. I will take Morency and Heron. For everyone who thinks I am nuts, find me a game where Heron was called upon to start and played poorly. We need one more RB to fit and a rookie. Too bad Tatum Bell is gone because he would have fit well.

For once we actually agree. Though Tatum Bell fumbles as much or more than Henry. But I like him. He was good as OSU and so was Morency. They are good, one cut backs.

how pissed must Favre be??? He has to be in the backfield with a rookie picking up blitz assignments...

Even with him there I doubt he picks him. I don't think he'll ever draft an RB in the first round unless its a super stud.

Portis will be our back. Bank on it!!!

you'd better keep smoking whatever it is you are smoking. YOU ARE CRAZY.

[Spaulding]

What about Arliss Beach? Prior to his pre-season injury he showed some spark. Not enough to bank a roster spot let alone a starting running back that will have an impact but I've seen his name pop many times with nothing but positives.

Just wondering if anybody else has heard the same.

[POLISHHAWK]

Retail, Not a smoker, just a chewer. Portis will not be in Washington next year. Cap Problems. Wait & See

Herron has never started a game in his career. Unless a team is truly desperate, this will not change.

Hey man, I appologize for comparing you to Tank. Lynch looks better and better every time I watch him run. I know why you're so in to him.

[Joemailman]

Merlin must be thinking of the St. Louis game where Herron rushed for over 100 yards, although he did not start. Herron tends to be a bit underrated, but he is not a starter.

I don't have a problem with picking Lynch at 16, but the more obvious it becomes that we need a running back, the less likely it is that Lynch will be there. Any other team that wants him will know they should trade up and snag him no later than at #15. Our desperation is only driving up the trade value of mid-round draft picks.

Does anyone know what kind of money Travis Henry is looking for? If TT won't spend $5 mil on Green, I don't see us signing Henry because I think his contract will also be in the 4-5 mil range.

I agree, looks like the best we can hope for is a rookie starting for us. Henry got 1,200 yards last year, he going to want more than Green.

I hate overpaying. I know I'm one of the biggest supporters of TT but if you're going to overpay for a guy, he better be a tough, hard working, great team-mate, loyal, productive guy. Ahman Green was all of that. It's tough to see him go.

This may or may not be a mistake. Henry had a better year last year and might come cheaper but man....It's hard to see him go. I remember watching him for the first season and thinking "this isnt' even Packer football!! He's so explosive and fast. I've never watched this brand of football"

He's not what he was and he'll only get worse. Still, he's the one guy I would have overpaid on this market.

AMEN; your assessment of A Green is mine as well...........but

I'm not convinced he will get worse; last year he came off a major surgery and was playing banged up. He may come into this year healthier and more effecitve as a result.

He's the one player I wish TT would have overpaid/locked up weeks ago.
