I think this was probably our best value pick in the draft. I'd rather have a RB with good to great vision, change of direction, quickness, and contact balance and lacking top end speed than the other way around.
But again, after bringing in Perine and reworking Moss's contract, RB did not, and does not, make a whole lot of sense to me. Cutting Moss & drafting a RB made sense. Even if we are gonna carry 4, I'd still have been looking at S or DT, etc.
But that has nothing to do with Brooks as a player. Those are roster construction, cap, and strategic issues.
Purely on player value, he was our best pick. He can likely contribute, and getting a contributor, at any position, in the 6th is found money.
