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.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
