1. We did trade down already once
2. Pete explained Penny in great detail. He's EXACTLY the big, physical, durable, punishing back that catches and blocks well............and he's fast as hell.
My only contention with Penny is he better be our bell cow 20-25 carry a game back, or else yes we wasted a 1st round pick. You draft a RB in the 1st round, he better be more than just a dude thrown into your RBBC group.
Yes he is a bell cow back. The more carries you give him the better he will be.
To answer the first persons question what separates him from the RB's in rounds 2 - 4? Well for one he is way faster than those guys. For 2 he is bigger and stronger and more stocky than most. For 3 he was hugely more productive than those guys. For 4 he catches so well they thought at one time of putting him at WR at San Diego State. I can't say the same for the others. For 5 he is an all world return man at KR/PR. The others do not have this skill level to the degree that he does.
