Looking over our first round draft picks for the last few years....
Anthony Gonzales, Donald Brown, Jerry Hughes
All of those were a bust. You could even look at Tony Ugoh as a bust as a high round draft pick. High draft pick doesn't always work out, why not trade it for something that appears to be a great deal? Both from a money prospective and a scheme fit.
Trent Richardson has proven already that he is better than all of those players, and will be the kind of running back we need in the backfield going forward. He's a workhorse, he can block, and he can catch.
Anybody that has the season he has last year while playing with 2 broken ribs is a true football player IMO and has the kind of grit our team needs going forward. Will he be the next Peterson? Probably not, but we don't need that, we need somebody that can help take pressure off of Luck, the way that Edge took pressure off Manning.
Do you like the Richardson trade?
