I don't think many cared for my opinion on our RB situation. Though it may not be our top concern, I think Mendenhall is the safest pick at 10. I'm looking at the value of the pick in terms of BPA and LONG TERM need of this team. I'm not sold on our RB corp, but if we don't take Mendenhall Ill be ok with it. If we pass on him though, Id love to see us try and pick up Ray Rice in the mid to late rounds.

excellent post.. totally agree about the longterm value of the pick... any rookie we draft isnt likely to come in and be a force except for a few guys.. longterm i think mendenhall is going to be an awesome RB and would help our team in the upcoming years.. i love deuce but i think he will only has maybe 2 good years left IF he can stay injury free.. which hasnt happened to often in his career and we see what kind of effect it has on our team when he goes down... 05 he gets hurt early we end up near the bottom of the league and end up picking 2nd in the draft.. 06 he was healthy all year.. we end up going to the NFC championship.. 07, he goes out early, we finish 7-9 n miss the playoffs... 08.. to be continued......
