re: Tavon Austin at 15

I restrained myself. He is probably the #1 offensive playmaker in this years draft. Can score on any play from anywhere on the field.

Colston, Morgan, Moore, Toon, Roby
Sproles, Cadet, Thomas, Ingram, Ivory

If Austin at 15 who goes? A very similar skill set to Sproles out of the backfield. Also a lights out slot receiver with great speed. He could potentially replace Moore and Sproles. The only thing is these 2 guys have been fantastic for this team and are still very good players. I dont know what kind of cap room you would clear up but just a thought. Losing a young cheap guy like Cadet makes no sense because we have no idea how Payton can use him yet. By the way I dont want to do this.

I hope it doesn't happen but, what happens if moore/sproles happen to get injured we aren't screwed, but we won't be super dynamic. morgan is your homerun hitter, roby throughout his whole tenure hasn't been a viable receiving option, cadet I'm not sure will be either. You don't know if toon will pan out. If Tavon Austin is really on the board, and given NT/OLB/LT's we want are all gone, I would want to move back, if we can't and we pick Tavon I wouldn't mind it since he would be BPA. It gives us depth and an upgrade in our ageing receiving corp and possibly a future playmaker for years to come.
