Look at the most recent SB champions- Giants, Steelers, Saints, Packers, Giants.... None have really had a workhorse back.

I think Trent Richardson is an excellent player, but I wouldn't be happy at all if we took him at #6.

I'd be pissed if we took him at 6. Gamechanger or not, we already have other holes that need to be filled first, and as history has shown, Shanny has had no problem getting production out of lesser backs. In fact, Shanny is the one coach who will probably never take a running back in the first round.
