With my proposed scenario we replace an oft-injured RB with a potential game breaker, while getting an additional pick or 2 to build LB and DB depth. How is this not a win/win?
What makes you think Shanahan and the Broncos WANT an oft-injured RB ? Yeah he claimed back during the draft that in a few years Maroney will be the best RB in the NFL, but apparently some people have soured on Maroney already, what makes you think he hasn't ? I'm a huge McFadden fan as well, I think he is very Adrian Peterson-like. He would be a bigtime playmaker for us, but we thought that about Maroney (who still may become a bigtime playmaker).
I think Laurenitis, if we ever take a LBer in the first round, would be a perfect guy for the Pats defense. He has the size, the speed, coverage skills, etc. I think as our defensive stars in the LB & DB corp start to age, It would be awesome to have Laurenitis and Merriweather slowly worked into being starters.
