PhinDude88 said:#2 is to high to take any og these Rb's. Dont get me wrong, but i would love to take a RB with the #2 pick. Saban and Lienhan both dont want to have a RB that carries the load by himself. It is becoming clear that Saban will trade down, but for it to work the 49ers would have to pass on Edwards. So i think when draft day comes by th Chargers will trade both 1st rounder to us for #2 pick.
rafael said:The reason is it destroys your salary cap. It means you have to sacrifice other positions. Some positions require more money to sign. If you've used up the cash you end up with subpar players at other positions. What do you want to sacrifice?

Scott Linehan is going to run a wide open offense. Within this offense, he needs a running back that can play in the single set, can be his own blocker at times, and can be utilized in the passing game. There is not a better receiving runner in this draft than Ronnie Brown, and it is very debateable if there is a better pure runner than Ronnie Brown in this draft.
This is a player that can carry the ball 300 times within the scope of this offense. That's only 19 carries a game, and despite what some of you think, Scott Linehan doesn't run an offense like Marc Trestman. He doesn't completely ignore the running game. Ronnie Brown also brings the aspect of being able to catch 60 passes out of the backfield as well.
This is a player who has the size, speed, vision, and power to play as a single back. He can be played in short yardage situations. He can be played in long yardage situations. He can be sent in motion and split out wide. He can run from the I set. He can play on third down because he has a great understanding of position blocking and blitz pick ups, as well as being a terrific receiver.
This guy is a weapon. He is an X-Factor. He is a player that defense will have to take account of when he is on the field. He isn't just a running back. He is a complete weapon.
Shamboubou said:I'm not for taking a RB with our #2 pick. I wouldnt mind either way because we are going to get one bad ace player, but I'm much more comfortable starting L. Gordon in the backfield than I am starting Feeley. If Gordon cant get it done than we know Sammy can run. He averaged 4 ypc last year with the horrible O-Line that we had. Edge only averaged like 4.6 with one of the best O-Lines in the NFL.
With Scotts new system QB is much more important than RB, I think Wanny has been around here so long some people forgot how great it is to watch a good QB throw a nice pass. We haven't seen that in years.

Too high for what??....To get a KICK*** player???...
This is crazyness to me. If we want the best RB this draft has to offer, trading down will practically destroy our chances of that happening. Who's going to trade with us anway?? Right now, nobody seems to be wanting trade up at all....
Why can't we get a 2nd rounder for Surtain???...People can't be serious when they say he's only worth a 4th. That's nonsense. He's one of the best DB's in the game!!! I'm shocked we've been unable to unload him for a better offer than a fourth, that's an insult...
PHINZ RULE!!!
