    Wow, Andy got JJ at just the right time. If he had waited until today we wouldn't have gotten him....

    Broncos RB Moreno carted off, Buckhalter hurt too

    23 hours ago


    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter have both been injured on the Broncos' first day of training camp.
    Moreno was carted off the field after hurting his right leg Sunday, and Buckhalter injured his left leg minutes later.
    About an hour into the workout, Moreno caught a pass in 7-on-7 drills and turned upfield when his leg buckled. He grimaced as he hopped into the team's headquarters for tests.
    Buckhalter hurt his leg about 10 minutes later during the same drill and limped off on his own.
    The Broncos traded veteran running back J.J. Arrington to Philadelphia on the eve of camp. They had no immediate word on the extent or nature of the injuries to Moreno and Buckhalter.

            But the Eagles devaluing the need to spend higher round picks on LBs continues to bite them in the ass.

            As an example, what the Eagles did with AJ Feeley was a stroke of genius. (Although Parcells paid us back with Booker.) But we don't have that luxury at the LB position like we did back then with the QB position.

            I understand your point except you are making the blanket statement of a problem overall with their drafting approach. I'm talking Joe Mays specifically. In his circumstance, we drafted him in the 6th, got a # of years of service out of him and worst case scenario is that we get a 6th back but with the upside of a decent tailback in the fold.

            Then again Arrington fumbled a ball and then dropped a pass on consecutive plays this morning so maybe we're destined for a 6th rounder.
