Nothing matters until both lines are solidified. And we have a big time RB in Moreno as long as he's back to full strength.
Nowadays guys are poping back from ACL tears like ankle sprains
End of the day we aren't good enough for a luxury pick. Both guys are supremely talented, but you see the production we get out of Lamar. We run a very RB friendly scheme and there's plenty of value in RB's in the mid to late rounds, or cheap in FA. With the needs we have and the lack of depth, I'm pretty certain we look elsewhere early on draft day.

Jeff didn't do that with Jordan
That's all on the coaching staff
Good point on Albert. He's had a few injuries as well and hasn't made it through too many season's. Miami would be smart to look for a developmental guy to replace him or draft a LT high who can play LG for a year or two. With all the needs on the team, that may not happen this year though.You thumbed me down, but the truth is that I view knee injuries pretty seriously. I'm really, really concerned about Branden Albert, on a related note. People are assuming he will be back and in Pro Bowl form in 2015, and I already got the red flag out on that one. We might need Ja'Wuan James to hold the fort at left tackle for a couple of weeks to open the season.
I realize that individual injuries are different, but the flip side of that is that I don't have all of the details on Gurley's injury, surgery, or rehab. I'm essentially gambling on a guy who may have had his surgery botched or maybe even struggles to come back from it mentally. I'm not saying I wouldn't draft him, but it would impact whether or not I'd choose to take him in the first round, depending on who else is available.
