Then hope everything else falls into place (or at least begins to).  Everything else discussed here or elsewhere is a reach.  He really needs someone to close up the middle on run plays.

Most teams have his playing weight at 340. He was playing most of 2008-09 somewhere between 350-360. Go check the combine numbers. He weighed in at 330. Sounds like his weight was not the problem. You can be at the right weight (your playing weight) and not be ready to workout in front of scouts. This is an area of urban myth that has started to irritate me. Jamarcus Russell's annual report of being 3 bills should surface soon. JMarc has never weighed 3 bills but it will not stop some enterprising columnist to report it.
