I disagree, I would like to see us keep the first rounder... Not to use in the draft, but perhaps trade down that pick position to another team for an established player at a needed position.
Or maybe trade it for like a 2nd and a 4th round pick. Or maybe even a combo of a needed player and a 5th round pick or something. You get my drift...
Also I don't want to expend Ricky in one season... Lets say you buy a slightly used porsche, if you want to keep that thing running for a while then you don't go out and put 50k miles on it the first year. I would much rather he get 1400 yards regular season and then get another 300 in the playoffs then 1700 regular season and be too used up to get much more in the playoffs. If we need those extra 300 yards during the regular season then give the rock to Edwards he can tow the line.
Also by gving the ball to Edwards and letting him show how good he is he becomes more valuable to us as trade tender....
Don't get me wrong, I loooove watching Ricky Run, and the "spectator" in me would love to see him run for 2000 yds... But I think Speilman and Wanny are not gonna let that happen unless it is out of absolute necessity. Then again I could be wrong.
