what does this have to do with Westbrook leaving Philly?

I see two problems with your logic. (1) We drafted a RB in the 1st Round last year and you want us to draft a RB in the 2nd Round this year. (2) For some reason you mentioned Hillis.

If I may...(1) RB J. Best would be an amazing compliment
to our RB core. He's fast as lightning and a threat anytime
he has the ball. I think he would be a good pick in R2 and
a steal in R3. I'm not stating we will draft him but if we did
I wouldn't be upset. Our RB core would be set for the next
5-8 years.

(2) I didn't know HB P. Hillis was no longer on the team?
We can speculate all we want but if he's on the roster, he's
on the roster.

Fixed it for you.

Keep your paws to yourself!

(1) We have more pressing needs to address than a RB in the first three rounds, bottom line. Whether it's the correct value for that player in particular or not, or whether that guy is talented or not, we have (much) bigger needs than drafting another RB in the top two rounds for consecutive years. I'm not saying we shouldn't draft a RB, but I would be pretty pissed if we did it earlier than the mid-rounds considering who'll likely still be available earlier on. Pouncey, Wooten, Ducasse, Thomas, Spikes, Carrington, Aluala...

(2) First off, you mentioned Peyton Hillis over the immensely more productive and successful Buckhalter, who played exceptionally well for us last year barring his injury. Secondly, you can't argue that it seems McDaniels has no intention of allowing Hillis to have any meaningful contribution to this team anymore, for whatever reason - or we would've seen him play more than a few runs in garbage time last year.

Ok guys I just thaught that Westbrook would be a way better option than Jordan or Hillis. Imagine pounding the ball with Moreno and Buck then having to cover Westbrook in the flats or have him run the ball. Having all three take carries would keep our backs fresh and maybe keep Moreno around a little longer than the 4-6 year life span of a RB.
