Quote:Normally I'd agree (former OL myself) but I think we have been so spoiled by great RBs that when we see have RBs that suck we assume its the OL who have picked up their play the last few games and the RBs have still struggled. The other reason I picked RB, is because its traditionally pretty easy to find a guy in the draft compared to OL who usually take a few years.

 

Unless the QB we pick is an instant all-pro though we are a few years away whatever way you look at it.

I think they'll add a RB to the mix one way or the other - and I'd like to see them do so.  I just don't think they should do it before the 4th round unless someone they rate very, very high falls to their 3rd round pick.  With the pass protection still suspect and the amount of contact in the backfield on running downs - I feel like the line gets a little more priority. 

 

It's nitpicking to prioritize these needs anyway - especially when the team has so many of them.  With all of the variables that exist in free agency and the draft and the myriad of ways Caldwell might find players he values within them  -  we can only hope he upgrades as many positions as possible.  Here's hoping it includes RB and interior O-line regardless of order.
