A playmaker that can get YAC and create big plays after Drew gets him the ball would take some of the pressure off of him. This is exactly why he was so enamored with the idea of getting Sproles a couple years ago.

We also don't have to rely on our receivers and Graham to make bone crushing catches down field all the time. While our offense is great, there's always room for improvement... Which in turn will keep it that way.

This isn't me saying we need to target Austin in the first or anything, I've already said I'm against it before, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to add some more explosiveness to our offense.
