Wow. Hightower, Glenn and Jean-Baptiste? The balls that would have to bounce our way... I can't count that high.

Hightower and Glenn would be possible with a second first round pick, but JB would be a little harder to pull off.

Actually, yeah, that makes more sense. Forgot all about that suddenly.

Can Dwyer play FB?

[Bayz101]

All good, but Thigpen plays for Buffalo now. As for Dwyer at FB, he was considered a full back by several journalists going into the draft, but i'm not sure if he ever played at that position.

Dwyer was a FB in college, or what his offense called a FB. He lined up about 3 yards or even closer to the QB, was used in "quick hitting run" in a spread option O

That's what I was thinking. Any film of his blocking abilities?
