Positives - Tatum Bell, Quentin Griffin, and Garrison Hearst. At the beginning of the season, these 3 Stooges were slapping, fighting and nyuk nyuk nyuking for the starter spot in Denver. Apparently, Shanahan's favorite Stooge is Shemp as Droughns, a footnote in the lineup, shocked everyone by leading the Broncos at RB. Once again the starting Bronco RB excelled, with Droughns concluding the season in 15th at RB.

Negatives - Droughns moves to the Browns where the 2004 starter, Lee Suggs still remains. The 2 backs will surely split time. The question is how many opportunities will Droughns get. Suggs will be fighting for the ball and the Browns have gone with the hot hand in the past.

Draft Strategy - Time to roll the dice. I wanted more potential at RB and pick 84 and 85 were the spots I choose to do it. Cleveland brought in Droughns for a reason. He also finished top 15 last season, while Suggs was below 30. RBBC is definitely a possibility, but I'm betting on Droughns producing and winning the majority of the carries. Besides, at this point, I have to take a chance with the remaining RBs on the board.
