SPEAK UP: Running Back in Round One?

Posted Tue Apr 15th by

Should the Denver Broncos pick a running back in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft?

We’ve given you reasons they should. We’ve give you reasons they should not. Now you tell us.

The poll is below, and it can also be found in the upper left sidebar of the main site.

Suppose the Broncos select a RB in the 1st round. Do you approve?

  • I approve. (51%, 38 Votes)
  • I disapprove. (49%, 37 Votes)

Total Voters: 75

    I totally want a franchise running back. I’ve been calling for one for a while now. A Shanny style team cannot win the Super Bowl without that dominate all-pro type of running back. We need to draft one soon…

    If they take a RB in the first round I’m going to snap.

    A franchise back would be great…but I don’t see one I am enamored with in round 1. They would probably be good, but I feel like we can help the team more with a different pick.

    Jonathan Stewart IS a legit franchise back, mark my words, this guy is Scary, he could easily carry the load and this franchise on his back along with Jay for years to come. Forget about what mike mayock says about running backs, (Wouldn’t touch mcfadden with the top 20 picks??!) Even with McFadden, Stewart is the Best RB in this draft. He has everything, speed (legit 4.3 at 230 lbs!), power (strongest RB at the combine), explosiveness ( highest vertical at the combine) vision, return ability, blocking ability, but most of all he has had major production, at every level so far. He would annihilate teams in our system. Not to mention the amount this physical freak could help our passing game and take the pressure off of Jay. Drafting this guy means tough shanny football again, and Jay’s potential goes up yet another notch if possible. Watch both players explode next year.

    shanahan has never drafted a first round runningback. stewart just had surgery, mcfadden has fumbling problems, as does mendenhall. every single year everybody screams for a runingback in the first and we dont draft one and we still have a top ten rushing attack. we need an OT to protect Cutler. if we go runningback in the first round when we dont have to (we already have henry, young and hall) that will be a huge mistake.
