In oak’s case, they have a good set of RBs already, and holes that need to be plugged. So what do they do? Spend a very high 1st round pick on a splashy RB. They have also broken the bank in FA. And in an early sign of cap trouble, just cut a very decent RB to make room for a draft pick.

In Den’s case, they have spent money carefuly. They didn’t use picks on any splashy choices, instead being frugal. And let’s consider the situation at RB.

Henry is a great power runner. He should be our starter. There is a risk that he may or may not have injury concerns.

Torain has the potential to be a good power back, and Alridge may be a good speed back. Denver does a good job with late rounders and undrafted free agents. But we still don’t know for sure how they will do. Young and Hall are established, but have also proven not to be every down backs. They are good at change-up.

There is the very real possibility we are ready to go with good depth. There is a slight possibility that Henry gets hurt, and neither Alridge or Torain works out. Remember that stage of the season last year when we had Henry, Young, and Hall ALL out injured?

Do we need Alexander? No. Will we likely get him? No. Other teams can offer him higher pay and have more desperation. But if he DID come here it wouldn’t be a bad move at all. He could play rotation with Henry, and give Torain/Alridge time to develop.
