    What if we had done this?

    Maurice drew with that 45th pick? Now while you think that is crazy drew is a quality runningback prospect not just a return man. If the titans wanted to draft hester in large part to beef up the return game certainly drew would have fit that need.

    Some so called experts believed that drew not hester was the top return man in this draft and almost anyone would agree that drew is a better prospect at his position(RB) than hester is at his(CB-WR).

    Drew's stock went up significantly at the combine when he weighed in at 207 and had 18 reps defying this notion that he is a little scat back. With chris brown likely going elsewhere after the 2006 season we need a quality third down back.

    I know many of you are thinking that what we need is a big back who can run behind the tackles. Fine but what is travis henry for? He is signed for 4 seasons at a million a year. The prospect of having a brian westbrook type back coupled with henry isn't that bad and we could still get that big short yardage guy next year.

    I'm not saying white was a bad pick we obviously got him for his star potential but there were other options and the way we were thinking with hester suggests that drew might have been a nice addition.

    Note that drew was the 60th pick by the jags. Many had the colts taking drew in rd 2 had they not gone RB in rd one.
