Problem is the draft is a pure crap shoot. We invested a decently high draft pick in White already. Heck last time we choose a RB with a top pick it was Maroney and he was good for a year or two tops.
Forte is a stud and is exactly what this team needs. The NFL is a stop gap league. You have to get really, really lucky to get a long time all pro talent at a position like RB, QB, WR, etc.
Plus, Leveon Bell has had the Jerod Mayo disease and hasn't been able to stay healthy for the last two seasons, going out each time in midseason. Not sure he's the guy we want to emulate.
