Trent Richardson

2012 NFL draft -- Trent Richardson to skip combine drills after knee surgery - ESPN

So, does this make it more likely for his draft stock to drop a little, and/or make us less likely to grab him if he is sitting there?

They are calling it "minor surgery," but there must have been SOMETHING wrong to warrant surgery (most likely a knee scope or artroscopic surgery). You don't do a knee scope for sh!ts and giggles. Thoughts?

The only way I would be ok with us getting Richardson would be if we picked up a LG and RT in free agency.

True. But still there's other positions in need. And we could get a decent RB in free agency too.

None the less, if we had Richardson we'd be unstoppable in the run game

I'm gonna be 17 different kinds of pissed off if the Chiefs waste a first round pick on a RB at #12 overall. With Charles coming back and countless good #2 running backs coming out in free agency and later in the draft, there's absolutely NO reason to waste the #12 pick on a RB. I would be ok with drafting ANY position other than RB at #11/12.

Trent Richardson should NOT be a Chief if it means spending a first round pick on him... PERIOD.

As rare as it is, I agree with 100% of what you said there.

I am hoping where ever Richardson goes, he has success and don't take a lot of injuries.

He's one of my favorite Tide players ever, and if he went to the Chiefs, I would be happy with that, but than likely I just have that bad feeling in my stomach he will go somewhere that is a run heavy offense that needs another running back. Is Jamaal Charles coming back? With him I don't believe they need Richardson.

Just praying he don't end up with Tebow in Denver that would make cringe and very very sad.

It could happen...Knowshon Moreno is not working out and they NEED a run game in a bad way.

He will go in the first.

That's just what I was thinking, and Denver is going to be a run first team as long as that same quarterback is there that can't complete 10 passes.

I'm more of an old school kinda guy with offenses, I do like to see some running games going on sort of like the 70's and 60's, but the NFL is changing so much.
