    Would this be an acceptable risk to take?

    I just saw where the Giants released Ahmad Bradshaw. He was injured this year and needs foot surgery again. But....he still have 1050 yards in 14 games and is a great running back when healthy.

    If the Steelers could get him for a good deal, would you take the risk on him?

    Plus, the new o-line coach is familiar with him from the Giants.

    I always thought he was underrated. But his injury history scares me a bit. I would have to find out more about that before I would be comfortable with signing him either way. But when healthy, he is a very good back - nice combination of power, some quickness, some shiftiness. Good effort.

      If he's cheap, bring him in.

        Every signing is subject to passing a medical anyway, so if he is not ready he fails the medical.

          I'll pass on Ahmad, and take Le'veon Bell in the fourth and call it a day.

            I like Bradshaw when he is healthy, but he has had a lot of lower extremity problems over the past few years. If he was healthy, he is absolutely worth a look, but I'm not quite sure that he will be healthy again.

              To be honest, I really like Bell. I don't think he makes it out of the third.
              Trolls are people too.

                I'd be very happy with Bell in the 4th and maybe OK if we took him in the 3rd. I think he's a good fit.

                  I like Bradshaw as a player. But the last thing we need right now is another oft injured player in the lineup. Ill pass.

                    I would take a RB in the draft and bring in Bradshaw and re-sign Dwyer.
