Trade for a RB? 

Post#1 » by S0yb3anB0y » Tue Feb 26, 2008 7:42 pm

What do you guys think of trading a 2nd or a 3rd rounder for a Running back such as Ronnie Brown ect...

Is there any chance Brown is on the market? I mean, he was having a career year until he got hurt. I guess he is expendible if Miami decides to take McFadden #1... but from all I'm hearing, McFadden is doing poorly in his combine interviews, is being outperformed at the combine by Rashard Mendenall, and is no longer a candidate for the #1 pick (and may well experience a Brady Quinn-style freefall on draft day). So I would think Miami is still planning to build around Brown. But if Brown is on the market, then sure I'd be interested; who wouldn't?

From all the top NFL scouts, it is a hands down that McFadden is the number 1 RB.

A side from that, Miami is looking to trade down and have a few more picks. Ronnie Brown is expandible from a Realgm Dophine fan. So, that is not a great source. But still, they should know their team better than anyone of us.

I was using Ronnie Brown as an example of trading a first day pick for a starting RB. There are tons of RB in the NFL that can probably be had for a first day pick.

This is clearly false, and you're obviously not paying attention. Not to be rude, but it's just plain wrong.

EDIT: This isn't to say McFadden can't get his stock back up there and be a high pick. I would point out, however, that none of the mainstream mocks have him being picked #1 by Miami. This is mostly because they are, as I said, building around Brown.
