It also makes since to draft a defensive player or trade down. I'd be happy either way.

I understand the scenario we are in with finding a possible replacement for Deuce. However...this RB class is very, very deep. Mendehall has not distanced himself from the rest of the class to me other than his combine speed. Not to mention....was Mendenhall mentioned among the elite college backs before last year? NOOOOO. I would rather a guy who has been consistent & has better value, like say a Rice, Smith, etc... in the 3rd. My personal opinion is Rice. He's done it every year at Rutgers, even when they were stacking 8 in the box against him. Look....the guy reminds me of Emmitt Smith. Okay...I put it out there. Poke your fun, guys. I've compared the kid to the NFL's all time rushing leader. Sorry...I just see the same ability, style, & heart in the kid.
