Good news. Thanks Ryan. I think it's ok to have several "favorites" knowing that we won't be able to land them all.

Thanks for the article, Ryan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does it sound like our staff tells all our RB targets the same thing? It just seems to me as if they all say "the coaches really want me, I'm what is missing in their offense," etc. I know we have a pitch for the position, but are we really telling all these guys that THEY are "the One" for us? Maybe we are, just hoping we get lucky. What say you?

It may be that the 4 or 5 RBs we are pushing for (Henry, Kamara, Green, Turman) are all big power runners...I think it is accurate to tell any and all of them that "they are what we are missing" because we need a power runner that will hold on to the rock.
Its not a stupid question until you ask it.

Even if the coaches had a true pecking order I doubt they would want that to be public. That's why we take our best guess at the pecking order with the different categories on our targets page.
