    Jones / Washington.

    RB is not a key position IMO.

    RB talent is abundant. I would rather see what the guys we have can do behind a good line as opposed to dumping a high pick and a ton for $$ into a very talented, but very flawed RB in the top ten.

    Jones without a doubt. If he plays the whole year, he's running for close to 1400 yards if our new Oline plays like they should.

    My thought is we wont draft a RB until round 4, unless we get back in the 3rd round. If we taken DMC, he still wont be starter.

    He's getting older, but he also split alot of time/carries in chicago and relatively speaking, is pretty "fresh" for an RB his age. He's got a lot left in the tank and is going to be sick with a good o line

    i don't think it's going to happen, but it would be sweet if we could somehow keep Ray Rice home! He was very impressive at the combine from what i understand...fast as hell.

    I like Thomas Jones. He's solid for about 1200 yds and 6-8 TD's a year now that they've solidified their OL. Along with Leon Washington, that's a solid RB situation.

    But if you have the chance to draft a potential game changing RB, like Darren McFadden, you have to do it. Especially when he represents such great value as a legitimate #1 overall but with the #6 pick.

    Throw in a big and fast WR with their second pick and the Jets offense has the potential to become as well balanced and big play producing an offense as you'll find in the entire league.
