It's a completely rational pick even if I would have gone another direction.

Yeah, agreed, Philly’s offense was #3 in the NFL in rushing last year.

They need to have the guys to do that. It’ll be interesting to see if they decide we need a 2nd round RB in order to help facilitate such a rushing attack.
