Running Backs Analysis by Brian McIntyre

This has to be a must read article for every Seahawks fan. Brian McIntyre at NorthwestFootball.net has a great article about the running back situation in Seattle. Here is one quote from him:

"Seattle’s current group of running backs are a prime example of former general manager Tim Ruskell’s flawed approach to roster building.Instead of drafting young, hungry ball-carriers, Ruskell ignored them on draft day (Forsett, a seventh-round pick in 2008, was the only running back Ruskell drafted), bought high on Shaun Alexander ($15.1M guaranteed after his MVP season), and when that didn’t work, threw more free agent dollars at Jones, T.J. Duckett, and James."

After reading up on the running back situation it really does prove that we need a new playmaker in the offense to help out Justin Forsett. I could see the #14 pick going to CJ Spiller if he is even available. There are a few teams that might snatch him up before we can get to him.

What do you all think? Should we go for Spiller or wait for later rounds to pick up someone like Jonathan Dwyer or Jahvid Best?
