Reggie Bush, McFadden, Ronnie Brown, CJ Spiller. All top 10 picks. 3 of them top five, and two were 2nd overall, picked over players that are arguably light years better than Claiborne. It can happen, and has.

Well, I'm not saying running backs going that high is impossible or anything, but just look at Mark Ingram. Teams don't value running backs as much as they used to, knowing how interchangeable they are and how short they last. Also, you listed a bunch of running backs that had to face actual competition for their spots from random veterans/lower drafted/undrafted players. Running backs aren't worth top 10 picks anymore. Hell, our two running backs weren't even drafted that high, and they're just as great as any other running backs in the league. Instead of listing running backs that were taken in the top 10, you should have tried naming successful running backs taken in the top 10.

Tampa going OT could help us. There are several teams below us who have left OT as their 1st or 2nd need and if two of the top these three are off the board by our pick (Kalil, Reily Reiff & Mike Adams), one of those teams may be hungry enough to trade up to get one.

Trent Richardson is so much better than Mark Ingram, its not even funny.

When Mark Ingram won the Heisman, Trent Richardson was still the best running back on that team.

Hell, Ingram was about the 5th best player on that 2009 Bama team behind Rolando McClain, Terrence Cody, Javier Arenas, and Trent Richardson.

Richardson is head and shoulders above all other RBs in the draft. He will go early to a team with a need at RB. Top 12 for sure, Top 7 possible. Watch the Bengals trading up for him if Tampa passes.

Tampa Bay has a need for 2 cbs, so if they shop in free agency, it means little. They need LBs and OL as well.
