Notice the run on RB's. If Helu was our guy, we would have missed him without the trade up.

Shanahan has learned from the Pats: trade back, stockpile picks, and every now and then move up a bit to get the guy you want.

I'm not arguing whether or not Helu should have been our guy. But if he was, we did the right thing.
