Just to play devils advocate as I want to see either a QB/T or T/OL draft but you draft Best because you have visions of a young Clinton Portis. At the same time though he could easily end up being a flash in the pan like Julius Jones, Kevin Jones, and gasp Tatum Bell.
Personally the idea of drafting a RB this high at this point in time makes me nervous. Maybe if we were more established and were truly one or two pieces away from a Super Bowl, especially since RB's learn quickly in spite of their short shelf life.
