re: Randle El still useful?

IF he excels in the role, he's definitely worth the price this year...the other years, we'll just have to eat the cost.
Frankly, if Devin Thomas or Malcolm Kelly cracks the lineup...and if Marko Mitchell continues to develop, I don't see where/how Randle El fits into that picture. We just don't throw the ball that often. Cooley had, what, 83 catches last year. Portis will get his share of carries, Betts will get more action on 3rd down and you can count on Moss getting his share of balls thrown his way.

Throw Freddie Davis in the mix and I just don't see how Randle El elbows his way into that lineup for more than 60 touches. Could happen, but you're talking about a combination of things happening.
