Do we stick with who we already have?
LaGarette Blount
Jonas Gray
James White
Brandon Bolden
Tyler Gaffney
or do we draft another RB?
do we bring back Stevan Ridley?
I think Gray, Ridley, and Gaffney will compete for a spot on the roster. Even after his 200 yard game this year, the Pats barely played Gray so I don't know how high they are on him. He seemed to be in the doghouse for the rest of the season after showing up late one day. No one here knows if thats strictly a discipline issue, or if that game went to his head and the staff had other issues with him. Maybe he stunk it up in practice or maybe his true colors showed after that game. No one knows, but we do know he barely touched the ball after his 200 yard game.
Ridley was in and out of the doghouse the past couple of years and is coming off a bad knee injury.
Do you think James White would be a suitable replacement for Vereen?
If Vereen walks, I like Ameer Abdullah. He has pass catching skills like Vereen but I think he's a better pure runner, and can return kicks as well. High character guy and he won MVP at the Senior Bowl. Projected to be a 2nd rd pick. His biggest issue is ball security and considering he had some of the smallest hands at the Combine, it might not be an easy issue to correct.
