Poeticlaw Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I have been reading to many posts that has the emphasis on "we need a Rb whether its turner, lynch and the out of reach peterson". Its also stated we need to use our first round pick to fill this need. Why are we so focused on the RB position. The three time superbowl champs NE Patriots have only spent one first round pick on a RB and that was last year for Lawerence Maloney. Ill tell you this from living in a NE area and knowing about their players he was brilliant in the first 4 games of the year he was fresh he was new and wait he had Corey dillon who is a strong runner they complimneted each other well. However he might not be the primary guy the think he might be. I think the thing that amazes me and people are happy with our Defense?? Our projected starters without the draft...Crowell, Ellison and A converted Wire. Are we seriously happy with this wow! Also our CB projected startes in MCgee, THomas and Youbouty again everyone is happy with this. The majority is happy with dealing with these in the 2nd and third rounds. Why? Anthony Thomas is more of a starter than Wire, Ellison, THomas and Youbouty. Granted we would like a star running back but i personally dont see one in the first round of this draft that is worth losing picks on just to improve a servicable need and lose out on upgrading our needs on the defensive side of the ball. We can get a good back in the second round. We need to get a LB or A CB in the first round and I have been watching these these positions closely and we would be foolish to lose out on Willis or Hall considering one will be there if not both will be. We dont have Peyton Manning thus our team does need a defense. Rght now we barely have one.

CB is not a glaring need, we already have a draft pick spent on one this year, and thats Youbouty RB is as much of a need to the team as LB. You don't build up your o-line for a big running game and then give the starting job to a backup and hope the line turns him into a star. Crowell and Ellison are starting LB's, Wire is depth, so theres need for a starting LB. A-train is a backup RB along with Shaud and the guy from NFLE, the Bills need a starter. If your happy getting a RB in the 2nd or 3rd, why can't you be happy getting a LB in those rounds if they go RB in the first? RB is as much of a need as LB is
