If the plan moving forward is to have Jones on the team for at least 2 more years, I would prefer a different approach to finding our #2 RB (if Dillon isn't resigned) than the draft.  Seems every year there are older once really good RB's available in free agency and this year is no different.  Below is just part of the full list of RB's scheduled to hit Free Agency.  Spend $3-5M on one of them and you probably get not just a proven quality 2nd RB, but a guy who can also start if Jones is injured.[ATTACH=full]20070[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
