Maroney has been injury prone and hasn't exactly lit it up this season. Kevin Faulk is a good guy but is getting long in the tooth. Morris obviously went out for the year with an injury, who knows how well he will come back from rehab. Kyle Eckel and Heath Evans are not the answer people.
Some free agents that might be available, but will probably get locked up include Marion Barber of Dallas and Kevin Turner of the Chargers. I think that Barber will get signed to a starting RB salary. And I think Turner could be a possibility IF he would take less money to be with a championship team, but chances are he will want to be a starter. He's probably tired of living in LT's shadow. Why would he come to NE to be in Maroney's shadow, other than there's a greater chance Maroney gets hurt?
There are several possibilities in the draft for RBs, McFadden tops the list. Especially after his dominating performance against soon to be former #1 LSU.
205 rushing yards, 3 TDs and a TD past on one of the biggest national stages against the top ranked team in the country.
Felix Jones could also be an intriguing choice later in the 1st day as the eventual replacement for Kevin Faulk our currently very good albeit aging 3rd down back.
