This is a team that is lacking in starting caliber talent, to say nothing of depth.  There are only so many starters we can realistically expect to find in one draft.  So you, as GM, are looking for depth in the 5th round.

The two players your scouts recommend are RB Trey Sermon and Georgia LB Monty Rice.

Who do you take and why?

Curse you, this is a good one.

Assuming we haven't added anyone at LB before this pick, of course. I would favor Rice by a hair, and only because the remaining depth at the position isn't equal between the two. I think Sermon is a guy who can play all 3 downs, and having Robinson on the roster already limits that playing time. I'm looking for a more 'twitchy' complement to JRob's game, as I believe he is up to the task when it comes to continuing to get the lion's share of snaps over the season. I think there are similar players to Sermon to be picked from later in the darft, if that is the type of RB you're looking for, and I don't see nearly as many comparable to Rice at LB, so I'd have to take him if everything else graded out near equally.
