First looking to 2015: Running backs

[Bobsyouruncle]

Gray may be odd man out. I'd like an upgrade. IMO we get more from Gronk if we have a dual threat RB. Right now we got some talented specialists. Obviously true dual threat guys don't grow on trees so easier said than done.

In this offense, a good 3rd down back is more important than the starter...especially against tough defenses.
Keep Vereen, or get someone with same skilll set..Helu?

Hi Manx, not sarcastic at all....I was just hoping we could invest a high draft pick on one of our guards instead of having to rely on a devey or kline type(not meant to put them down).... but it would be nice to have an all pro there to help open up wholes for the running back....I envision a line like the Cowboys(might be asking too much I know lol)

Some of my preferred first round options are offensive linemen (Scherff, Clemmings, Collins) but if they're gone, I'd much rather draft a genuine talent like Gurley than reach for a lineman (D or O). We have an extra third which will enable us to trade up in the second so it will still be possible to get two talented prospects within the top 50 or so if necessary.
