Log jam at RB
So we have three starting caliber Running Backs. 2 of them are at the beginning of their career and one is at the end of his career. I know Charles is a Chief icon but should we hang on to him, use him as trade bait for draft position or use him as part of a deal to bring other players in?

I know this won't be a popular topic of discussion but a RB entering his 8th year and coming off of his second major knee surgery we need to think about what our plans are with him and the young talent behind him going forward.

Richardson, Ball, Ingrahm, Vereen and Spiller have been nothing short of wasted picks and busts (Richardson busted TWICE). The Colts, Browns, Broncos, Saints, Bills and Patriots made terrible decisions and wasted valuable resources.

Eddie Lacy had a decent rookie campaign followed by a disastrous season in which the coach told him to lose 50 pounds. Another poor pick.

As for Forte, he's the only guy that's been an impact player on that list, and he was taken in 2008, the same year as Charles. He's basically been the Bears offense since that time and was cut because he couldn't be traded. Again, 3 years, $12 million, and no significant injuries that required surgery (unlike Charles).

Ray Rice? You're going to use Ray Rice as an example? Not only has he been out of the league for 2 years, at age 26, he averaged a paltry 3.1 yards per carry. The wheels fell off quickly.

Gurley is a talented back that helped the Rams and their archaic offense in 2015 but the story is still unfolding. He looks like a special player but only time will tell if he can be productive year in and year out and avoid another ACL injury.

Once again, no one is giving up a pick for Jamaal Charles.
The argument you made was no one takes RBs with high draft picks anymore. I just provided a list of RBs that were taken in the first two rounds (that have any kind of name recognition) in the last 8 drafts. So contrary to what you claim teams still do and will continue to draft RBs in the first two rounds of the draft thus using high picks for something YOU claim can be had at the UDFA level. While I'm not disagreeing there are talented UDFA RBs to say that no one ever drafts a RB with a top #100 pick is lunacy.

And the overwhelming majority were BUSTS.

The best player on that list was taken 8 YEARS AGO.

And to top it off there were people suggesting that AP be traded for a third last year before they came to terms on a new contract. AP was 30 LAST YEAR.

"But another former NFL front office executive said he thinks the Vikings would get only a third-round choice in exchange for Peterson."

That doesn't change the fact that your argument is bupkis. Teams have and still do use high draft picks on RBs

Running backs are valuable, but can be found anywhere.

If Charles wasn't coming off an acl, you might be able to get a 4th or 3rd. But paired with his contract, no one's trading for him this year.

Contracts can be reworked. If we featured him in the PS to show he is as good as it gets again we could squeeze some value out of him.

Now if he has problems recovering from the injury it's bye bye anyway.

Value in next year's drsft is different t than this year. Added in the time of the contract, if he shows he's healthy a d the same, he should stay
