Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Should We or Could We Draft Steve Slaton from West Virginia

RB is the least of our concern on this team. We have Portis, Betts, Sellers, Rock, and even Mason that I think could all be serviceable in a pinch, and some starting quality.

I'm worried that Portis' physical play may be shortening his playing life right in front of us. I think Gibbs killed him in 05 with such a huge workload and he may never get past the injuries he's starting to accumulate.

And even if we did feel RB was a position of need, I think there are better options than Slayton. I question his durability a bit. Maybe McFadden.
