This is a very deep year for HB and QB's. There's going to be alot of really good guys left in the 3rd and 4th at both positions. We definitely have a need at back-up QB, and I think this would be an excellent year to get a developmental guy through the draft. HB is exceptionally deep. If we had someone like Forte staring us in the face in the 3rd, I wouldn't be mad at all to have us make that pick. Deuce is questionable (it took him an extended period to come back from his last ACL), so it makes sense especially if we don't get Stecker resigned. That said Deuce should get every chance to come back and play this season (even if he's not ready at the start). Now don't get me wrong, we need to retool our defense through FA and early in the draft. Still if we are in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th round and we have an offensive player that fell, then we should take them over reaching for defense. Right now I think there's a good shot at some very good HB's and QB's there.
Also I know I'm going to get the homerism thing here, but I would love to see us draft Hester in the 4th or 5th. He'd probably be the most valuable 3rd stinger we've have had in a long time time. He could be our back-up FB to Karney and our 3rd HB at the same time. If Deuce is slow to get back he can be a guy that can pound it in on short yardage. He's a excellent special teams player and very good blocker. His versatility makes him so valuable, plus he has great character.
