    If we lose d.will to FA, does anyone like this guy as a late round pick?

    He's the KY RB, 5'8 190lbs very fast, quick in his cuts and has good hands. He may be a good pick in the 6th rd.

    Looks like a nice player but with so many needs and so little picks, I highly doubt we select a RB this year.

    we have two good backs and one excellent back without DW. I'm not against a Locke or Noel Devine if it's 6th, because Sproles excels in limited carries, but if we were to pick another back it'd most likely be someone more like John Clay, a 6'1, 250 lb workhorse/slow ass back.

    Not sure its a major need even if we lose DWill. I like Sutton he's been pretty versatile for us and has had some pretty nice runs. He's doesn't have the ability to break off long runs but he's a good solid back. I liken him to Pierre Thomas in a way. We have some nice RB's, they tend to get dinged up a lot so it seems like we will need a nice stable of them.

    We'd probably draft another LB before we draft another RB this year.

    we could use a LB. Norwood is a tweener, Connor is in year 4, and we'll lose either Davis or Anderson.

    I'm all for getting a OLB but through free agency. I think we should give Vernon Gholston a shot in a 4-3 he may do well.
