Lol, but the way the committee is set up he'll need to be on his best behavior to get playing time. Plus his character issues will allow him to be had possibly as late as the middle of day 3.

If Hightower is healthy hell yeah you bring him back. He runs very hard and is good all around. Helu makes a great change of pace back in this scenario. If Hightower has lost a step because of the knee injury I think we have to add another starter to the roster.

I'm not confident in Royster. He strikes me as a backup.

Why does everything have to be your way? BTW Vic Ballard can't keep his balance. Running into tripods and what not.

Because I search for RB's like Jim Koch searching for hops.

...even w/ a healthy Hightower or other legit starter added to the roster I'd like to see Helu get equal carries. Helu has the potential to be very very good. When I watched him (live) in Seattle last year I saw him do some things you just don't see every Sunday.

Running backs?
We drafted two and traded for another last year.
WTF would we waste picks on a RB this year?

Shanny is genius when it comes to RBs. If we draft one or two later late rounds or sign UFA rookie and then one of them plays well enough, then we can trade Royster for maybe 4th round pick or something. I would say that we also could trade Helu or Hightower, but I absolutely love them both and I would hate to see them go but if one of them gets us 3rd round pick or whatever then I could see Shanny pulling the trigger.

Ummm...what?
Trade our good running backs so we can draft more running backs?
And a 4th for Royster???????

I never said that we should trade one of our RB, in order to draft other. That does not make any sense at all. What I am saying is that we all know how Shanny always manage to come up with good RBs. So if we happen to draft a RB or sign UFA rookie this year, and then the player plays well enough, which will give us an opportunity to trade one of our RBs for whatever round pick for 2013, not so we could draft another RB but to draft a player for whichever position that we need the most such as O-line or ILB or CB.

To clarify where I stand in this idea, I do not like the idea of Redskins drafting another RB this year. However, I am all for signing UFA rookies. Just because I do not like the idea, it does not mean I cannot see what scenarios from drafting or signing UFA RBs could present for Redskins FO.
