[QUOTE="Arles, post: 149106, member: 786"] Completely disagree. Harrell is not some 340 pound one-dimensional plugger. He's a 310-pound DT with great strength and good quickness. He can make an impact against the pass and the run. And, if you think a DT that can be that disruptive in both aspects is less important than a non-elite RB or TE - you are crazy. Best case, we basically trade a mid-first this season for a top 15 pick next season and a second this year. It's a good deal, but it's not something to lose sleep over. And it definately doesn't help us this season. That's a good point, but RBs taken in the top 2 rounds have been very close to a sure thing in the past 3 seasons. Johnson has had a ton of carries and Turner has never done it full time (and got most of his yards in garbage time). Given the money both these guys want, I don't know that they are a much better value than a duo of Jackson and Morency. But none are complete DTs like Harrell. Your logic is like passing up on Adrian Peterson or Lynch because we have Morency, Arliss Beach, PJ Pope and Noah Herron. It's the best argument for taking the Cleveland deal, but I don't know if it's that much better than what GB has now. LJ will want a ton of money coming off a 400 carry season (not to mention the picks). That's a huge investment on a risk (esp if you look at the history of injuries to backs the season after 400+ carries). Plus, he doesn't exactly have the best attitude. Turner is also a risk given he hasn't been a fulltime guy. The league is full of backs with 1-2 nice "backup" seasons who flop fulltime. He would also involve compensation and a nice contract. I'm fairly happy with Brandon Jackson and Justin Harrell instead of someone like Turner and a different pick in round 2. LJ would be a potential impact guy and I probably would have done the deal for LJ because he can be a difference maker. Still, I'm not heartbroken GB didn't make the move with Cleveland and KC given the risk with LJ (and investment). [/QUOTE]
