Joe wouldn't have started, developed behind Jake, you're at pick 13 again, trade down and take Joe Flacco at the ravens spot or stay with Stewart who could have been replaced by another RB in round 2 or 3 (pick from the Ravens via move up trade).

I'm unphased, i wouldnt mind flacco but im perfectly fine with stew, just thought it would be an interesting question if we had 20/20 hindsight

We already had a speed guy. I'd still take Stewart, mainly cause I just don't know about Flacco's longevity.

Stewart is a speed guy as well... Dude can fly. Not sure what your point was. lol

however, to answer the question, Stewart all day long... It's rare to find a guy with his speed and size and character and talent...

franchise QB > franchise RB, but it's still too early to tell

and these comparisons of stewart to the lower round rookies just don't really work. Most of the guys like slaton, forte, and smith didn't split carries and if we drafted them instead I'm positive we wouldn't have the same record we do now.

Slaton, Smith, and Forte simply can't make the kind of impact stewart can to this team. He's a blue chip player.

Neither, Take Otah with 13th and Slaton in the second.

You never thought Slaton would have that good of a year though, be honest. :P IIRC before the draft, you were pretty skeptical of his ability to succeed in the NFL. That said, he was great. I liked watching him run. I think he fits well in Hou.

But your premise I can get behind, OL in the first, RB in the second. A lot of people thought that (esp w/Forte in 2nd). I wonder if they had had a first rounder this year, woud they have taken Brown with it?

I wonder also who would pick on Carolina for going RB and RB in the first with only a few years in between now that Indy just did pretty much the same thing.

i know alot of people will disagree with me but until the philosophy of our offense changes ima strong believer that we dont need a franchise QB to win, we need a top 10-15 QB whos a game manager. and IMO QBs that become franchise QBs in other systems wouldn't become that great in ours because they dont get the opportunities to throw for big numbers. so with that bein said stewart was a better choice IMO
