Time Will Tell.

NH3...

I would be inclined to sign a stop gap free agent.  We need someone who is ready on day 1 and not a rookie who might take time to develop.  I'm also hopeful that Robinson and/or Etienne rebounds to near full strength.  If so, running back is not a long term need.  If we do find out that Robinson/Etienne's career is over, we can put more resources at it next year.  I would draft a running back in the 6th or 7th round for depth.  We have six 6th/7th rounders.  I don't see six players drafted that late making the team.  My goal with late picks is to find who is most likely to make the team.  The draft pick is worthless if you cut him.  I think a late round running back has a good chance of making this team.
