Shamboubou said:Its very funny to hear that we dont have a running back when we have like 5 under contract. S. Morris averaged 4 ypc last year behind one of the worse O-Lines in Dolphins history and maybe football history. Edge averaged 4.6 ypc behind the OL of the Colts. Many people feel that Gordon has a great deal of talent, seeing how Sammy did that well last year behind the horrible OL that we had I think Gordon can probably have 4.6 ypc this year behind a good OL. If he cant I'm pretty sure that Sammy can. That is why we dont need a RB with our #2 pick.
that, and about a month ago in tsn it said that even though all signs point to miami going rb at #2, it is unlikely b/c saban and the staff think highly of gordon. they are worried about his injury history, but they think that he can be a good one and they think that they can get a back to go with him in the 3rd round. I'll try to find the article.
here it goes
"There is growing confidence in Gordon, who carried only 35 times last season before being knocked out with a separated shoulder. So the team isn't likely to spend the No. 2 overall pick on a running back. The team still will pursue running back at some point in the draft to at least provide a quality challenge for Gordon.

it's funny, b/c cole came back and said that edwards or brown would be the pick yesterday, so i think that he's just speculating like everyone else.
