Yeah, Miller is nothing like Mo.

That'd be a great replacement. He was quietly on pace for 1000 yards before getting hurt last year.

I would trade Travis Benjamin for MLJ. Watch the Browns lose out big on that one and us pay Benjamin cheaper while losing pretty much nothing.

Rishard Matthews impressed me a lot the little i watched him last season. Before getting hurt as you mention. Great speed.

There are lots of options out there if MLJ gets the #1 dough he wants.

As for replacing him, the deep threat issue is the key.  Even if you draft a rookie, who knows if they'll be ready to make an impact early on, let alone earn Andy's trust.  So they may take one early, but they will still look to bring in a cheap below average vet to be what Denarius Moore was supposed to be.  As for the position, I think they'll let Sanu hit the market and come back with a price.  I think he returns, though they could opt for a Boldin type vet, especially if one is cut and sees Cincy as a contender. 

A very good post, i completely agree with you Phil.
