Julius Jones signs with Seattle (1 Viewer)

[Fear & Loathing]

Here's a hypothetical. Say the Hawks intend on cutting Alexander. Say they opt not to draft a top RB early in the draft, draft a developmental guy in the later rounds, or don't draft a RB at all. What would you guys say to the Hawks signing Kevin Jones to a low money contract?

Wouldn't he be superfluous with Julius Jones on 1st & 2nd downs, Duckett in short-yardage, and Morris on 3rd downs?There's no way Kevin Jones is going to play better than Julius Jones in 2008 after tearing his ACL so late in 2007.

As is said, I was more interested in a comparison talent wise between Julius and Kevin since I have both in a keeper league and am debating whether to keep them. But not necessarily. Morris wasn't guaranteed to be back with the club in 2008 either. And the Hawks already found out they don't want him as a primary ball carrier.Had the Lions cut Kevin Jones earlier would the Hawks have been in the market? I imagine you could fit both Kevin and Julius into the salary structure for an approximation of what Alexander is due to make.

I just don't understand why the Hawks would be in the market when Kevin Jones won't be playing effectively until 2009. His 2008 season is going to be a wash.
