I don't know where a guy like Tony Hunt would fall, but I like him to be drafted if he cna be got in the 3rd round or so.

More than likely we'd have to trade up, Hunt is likely a high #3. Although if he runs slow that could change.

Not sure about Duckett, I haven't seen him too much. We'll want a fairly cheap guy, though, as Maroney will be the main RB.

Yes, Duckett is a free agent.

Just tossing this out, how would people feel about Dominic Rhodes in FA? He's most comfortable as a backup and he would cost less than the 5 million Corey was bringing in.

I like Duckett. My question (and it is a question) is that didn't he have his best years after Atlanta hired Gibbs as their line coach? It seems to me that success under the Denver blocking schemes does not equate to success under more standard blocking shemes.

dont need him. hes a lesser kevin faulk. we dont need to draft a RB either. maybe a low profile FA backup but thats it. Maroney is the feature back. you dont get drafted in the first round to share anything.

How about Ron Dayne? He ran all over the Colts this year if I recall right. And he's headed for FA too.

Ron dayne is 30 and with maroney will give us good 2 yrs and very cheap.
T.J did not play alot this year and that worries me.ron played this season and i rather take him for that reason......and also prefer a veteran backup than a rookie.

Cousins,
Any interest in Lewis from Baltimore? He is a north or south guy who needs to redirect his career. He's gonna be a cap cut. BB and SP straighten him out perhaps? He's only like 28 and what if he gets 7 to 12 carries a game and insurance for LM. Couldn't he be had for less the $5m?

Heres one. How about Priest Holmes for 10 to 12 Carries a game? His neck is better. He wants to play but at 33 he has one or two years left. He is under contract with K.C. till 2009 but could be a cap cut (trade?). He is a class act.

Now the shocker.... What about Ricky "puff the magic" Williams? The Dolphins want to use him as trade bait but what is he worth a damaged goods? 5th rounder? Would you take Ricky for a fitth rounder for a couple years?

I agree about a rookie as main back up as a problem. Third team for experience? O.K. If Maroney gets dinged for a game or two, that is an awfull lot to ask. Why not re-sign Heath Evans. He did a hell of a job starting in 2005 a few games and we can get him, He's a great team guy and ST guy. The Pats are not a real good FB running team so don't measure his 2006 yards. That said , the dude did have a 4.3 YPC average in the FB slot.
