Running Back Situation - New England Patriots Forums

I'm sure we will all be moaning about how unlucky we are that one of our ancient backs was injured, and that it was unnecessary have better backups on the roster than Woodhead and Green-Ellis.

I was really hoping Javid Best was going to sneak into the 2nd round of the draft.

Pats look pretty bad at RB.

As I said in another thread, if he can be had for something reasonable, I think Willis McGahee could be useful. 109 carries for 544 yards last year shows he can play in a committee. Can run with power between the tackles and get tough yardage. My friends who are Ravens fans say his blocking is underrated but I'm not convinced.

I can't see this team not making a move for a legitimate RB,its incredibly slim and inexperienced after Morris/Taylor

Use all 3 TEs and you won't even need them to do that

I'd chuck a third rounder at the Bills for Fred Jackson.

Don't kill me for this, but what about Edelman as a third down back? Can he block? Faulk isn't big, and he protects Brady well. Edelman has a great burst and acceleration, plus he take off on a deep route. Thoughts?
