RB's are really a dime a dozen

[Colt-in-Jax]

I know there's the exception to the rule, but mostly you can get a real good one in the 2ed, 3ed or later rounds. That's why I hated the Richardson trade, it would have been better if we demanded Gordon or make the pick conditional. The Browns were trying to get rid of Gordon, I think if we offered our 1st with another lower player they might have bit.

But in reality, I would much rather that we were to use that #1 pick on either a established WR or a road grader OL. Now we have to hope that our GM can find the gems in the later rounds..

Trading for Josh Gordon would have been incredible. But oh well, hindsights 20/20

I thought T Rich would be better but I was with you in thinking that we would have been better off not spending a first on an RB.  You can get good ones in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and solid ones in the 4th and 5th rounds.
