Time to draft Frank's replacement

Sadly we can't ignore RB any longer. We can't just say "we don't need that position." The way people have for years and years on the WZ. Frank Gore has a major injury history in both college and pros. And he has taken one heck of a pounding over the years. A hip fracture no matter how minor they want to call it is not a little matter. It's serious and guys don't always recover from that comepletely.

Face it we are in complete rebuild mode...

~ QB
~ RB
~ O Line
~ D Line
~ Pass Rush
~ Secondary
~ HC
~ Coordinators

That's what we need. We are NOT CLOSE...

and second Daniel Thomas from Kansas but James would add some new dimensions to the offense.

But we have not been ignoring the position.

Thomas Clayton, Glenn Coffee, Dixon in the draft off the top of my head...bringing in Foster, Westbrook, yada yada yada....its not like we have been ignoring that position. Yeah we havent used high picks....didnt need to....with us having Gore.

Think he's a redshirt sophomore, so he's been in college 3 years already.

Another question everybody needs to ask themselves, if it is going to be a lockout year why would anyone come out early?

We might need to go high now with Gore having 2 glass knees and now a fractured hip. How much longer can he hold up?

Because the lockout will not affect this yrs. draft, & actually everyone will want to come out because this will probably be the last draft without a rookie pay scale.
