Trade a RB to the Patriots for a WR or I will kill Smootsdaddy

With Kevin Faulk blowing out his knee the Patriots are stuck with pure poo at RB.

Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor are made of glass and neither is really the perfect fit for the spread offense hybrid runner role.

After they blow out their groins the Patriots will be stuck with Benjarvus Green Ellis, a seventh tier running back with no discernible skills from a third tier SEC school, and Danny Woodhead who looks like he hangs out at AKPantherFan's meth lab.

How f**king hard would it be to trade Tyrell Sutton straight up for like Brandon Tate? Tate is is fast and can run in a straight line which would immediately propel him to second on the depth chart. Plus, he's a Carolina grad, and was one of the most dangerous kick returners in NCAA history.

I mean how in love with Julian Edelman are they? Might they like Mike Goodson? A running back who can pass, catch, return kicks, and has unmatched top end speed?

How hard would these deals really be to pull off? It's not like the team would be adding salary. It'd improve them right now.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
