What did I want in the second round?  To try and trade up to the back end of Rd 1 and draft Cam Robinson.  

It is like you're reading my mind. Though I might've tried to trade down further (or even just reached for need) and taken Antonio Garcia (went in the 3rd round) or even Julien Davenport (went in the 4th). And maybe they wouldn't be an improvement, but when you have two guys who are struggling at a position maybe they could help each other out. As it is, we are just so, so stuck with Ced now. 

The other thought I'm having is, no matter how great your RB is, if your O-line can't open holes for you, block at the second level, or gives you long down and distance situations due to your QB getting harassed and sacked, that's almost not fair to the RB.
