    Turner by far. Unless Lynch magically falls to us in the draft, there isn't a single RB in this draft who has Turners potential.

    What I don't get is the Micheal Bush fetish. He's a tall, power RB who runs upright and doesn't run like he's a tall, power back. He runs high, and tries way too hard to be shifty.

    Hunt is another tall, big back who at least knows hes a power back. I could live with that, though I still think Turner blends the size, speed, power thing better than even most starting RBs in the game.

    we have a "burner", his name is Leon Washington...
    we need a bruiser, Bush and Washington is a FANTASTIC one-two punch and in todays NFL, unless you have an LT... you need two reliable backs for different situations.
    Donger wants BUSH!!!!

    I dont understand what the infatuation with Turner is. He is a solid RB backup get over him.

    It's hard to vote in this poll because you don't mention the cost of getting Turner, or what round the others are chosen in. IMO I don't want to use anything higher than a 3rd for any back, so I voted other. I can't believe the amount of hype given to Turner around here since he hasn't proven anything other than being a good backup (who is also not a receiving threat).

    a younger curtis martin. :)

    I don't think rb is our major issue. DT is more important in my eyes.

    I'm turning into a big Tony Hunt fan now. Of course if there ever was an opportunity to draft Lynch we would have to jump all over it. Of course though, that will never happen.

    That's just sad that a Jets fan can be satisfied with Washington and Houston as a RBBC. Houston is god awful, shouldn't be in the NFL, only 3rd string RB material, not to mention he sucks at picking up blocks. Leon is a capable back, but is only a 3rd down/Screen Pass type-back.

    Don't understand the man-love for Houston. In the playoffs I wanted him, because he produced more than Barlow, but Houston is god awful. To say you want him back is just sick.

    Michael Turner.

    I honestly would be fine with Leon Washington and maybe a "sleeper" (a player that isn't well-known but has the talent of a good RB). I would want Turner, but I just don't want to have to give up that 1st Round pick. If we can do a 2nd Rounder, than go for it. 1st Rounder is iffy though.

    No Turner and no RB taken before our number late 2nd round pick, I would also not trade a pick unless it was the 3rd or late second
