I dont know if he is the total answer, but if we picked him up, I would certainly want to take a young guy in the draft. Thats assuming that Aldrige didnt fix is fumble addiction.

I'm sorry... but I've been thinking for a while... LaGarrett Blount from Oregon... the guy's stock is down because of the infamous punch... but I LOVE the way the dude runs and we may be able to get a 1st round talent in the 3rd-4th round.

I'm with you on this. If he didn't punch the Boise guy he would've been a 1st rounder. Honestly I think the Boise guy deserved to get punched. But I wouldn't reach for the guy. He also had issues besides hitting this guy. A backfield w/ Parker, a rookie and another vet. I'd just cut ties w/ Portis.

I recall mcshay saying at the time of the punch that Blount was a 2nd rounder. That was early in the season. I don't know how he did in the combine but Blount probably is somewhere in the 2nd to 4th range. I could see him being there in the 4th regardless of the punch.

Anyway, I agree w/you, though I would add he's worth taking in the 4th for us, but no earlier, even if we pick up a 3rd in a trade.

I would hardly call it a "love affair." We have cut a few running backs in the last few weeks and Aldrige remains. I am not saying he is going to be great, I am only pointing out that he is still on the team.

A) we start winning consistently again
or
B) we draft Sam Bradford
or
C) all the above

Let that be a decision for the coaches to make. After all, it was the Denver program that first recommended Alridge to the Redskins. Don't be blindsided by Zorn's opinion of Alridge because he had a problem with the fumbles, there could be a place on this team for a player with his abilities.
