That second round pick from last year. Sheesh

[w280sax]

We did trade down with our 2nd last year to get a 2nd this year which turned into scourton before trading up (giving up very little) to get brooks.  Yet people second guess it that we moved up to get brooks.  That trade down was a great trade imo.

Taking an injured guy at a position that is neither a need or has much positional value is dumb. Why are you trying to argue this? It's a bad position. Showing me up for being negative isn't worth taking a bad angle. 

RBs have always had a lot of positional value, especially the top ones in a class. On the field, they are key. Their value only comes into question at the time of contract renewal for different reasons, but their positional value in regards to the actual dynamics of the game is as important as ever.

How can you give up on a player already after one season? Thomas Davis played after tearing his ACL 4 times in a row. 
 

he was considered the top RB. No one could have predicted him getting injured in the future. Still he could easily come back and dominate. Until we see what he does after he comes off this injury, I think it’s not smart to judge the pick.

Damn, I forgot all about Brooks.  And now we took Ettiene today after signing what’s his face from Dallas.  I guess they’re really banking on Brooks not coming back next year, or ever.

I would be very surprised if Brooks plays at all next season. Considering when it happened, and now being the 2nd to the same knee, he is probably on the shelf next year. But hey, we screwed old Jerruh out of picking him!

Davis was, and may be the exception to multiple occurrences of that injury. Different player, different position as well. Eh. Who knows?
