Davenport will be kept around in case there's an injury.

What are the odds that a RB could be traded for a draft pick next year? My thoughts would be most likely Russell, maybe Davenport. If so, what round pick do you think the Steelers would look for?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-46180675511099213532008-05-23T12:43:00.000-04:002008-05-23T12:43:00.000-04:00Davenport you would think would be a June 1st cut,...Davenport you would think would be a June 1st cut, but for some reason this team seems to like him. Maybe hes a good guy, but for the good of team and roster logistics, I hope he is released. <BR/><BR/>The only other option I would think is Davenport moving to full back (apparently he has practiced some there?) and Carey Davis being on the practice squad or released, though Tomlin and Arians seem to like him a lot too. Ideally I would think, Parker/Medenhall as 1-2 punch, Moore for 3rd down and Davis as FB. That leaves Russell as a healthy scratch weekly or on the PS, if he lands on the PS he'll be a Brown or Patiot before the ink dries.<BR/><BR/>Dale, how do you see this shaping up assuming that Russeel continues to progress and Davenport continues to be nothing more than what he is?Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-23766391547040830852008-05-23T09:58:00.000-04:002008-05-23T09:58:00.000-04:00I'm glad to hear Russell is looking good.

Is there any chance Davenport gets released? He would be my pick. Keep the young talent and their potential. I think we've seen all Davenport has to offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
