Great point Skins Rock. Running back is a very important position in the NFL today. If you don't believe me, look at the Green Bay Packers. Look at the Carolina Panthers. They have no great corners to speak of, but they have great runners. Granted, Green Bay has Favre, but he's not the same guy he was so many years ago. It's Ahman Green now. For the Panthers it was all about Stephen Davis. I don't wanna hear Ricky Manning, he was no one when the season started and they were fine.

Running back is much more important than Corner. As much as I would love to see Champ stay, this was the best thing that could have happened. Shaun Alexander is nowhere near the back Portis is, Alexander will rush for 80, 75, 62 then one game have 212 and four TD's, I'd rather have Portis. Portis is much more consistent and he's just all around better than Shaun Alexander.

With the cap space they have the Skins are going to be fine this year. They'll add another corner and improve the D-Line. 2 draft picks or not, they're going to win.
