I think this team is already chock-full of serviceable backups in Randle/McFadden/Dunbar -- no use in adding another one at the expense of any of the guys we took. Hell, our first two picks are better overall players than all but 2 RBs in the draft, and both of them were taken way too early to even be a factor. Other than trading up to get Coleman, I don't feel like there were any difference-making RBs that we even had a chance to get.
And I agree that DMC's health is an issue, but Murray's was too every season of his career until he played behind this line... Also, it should be noted that McFadden played all 16 games last season.
