After seeing guys like Marshawn Lynch, Cedric Benson, and Thomas Jones come back from the abyss to salvage their careers, I'm always on the lookout for the next former first round "bust" who might rebound after falling on hard times. Knowshon Moreno is one guy who fits the bill. He was the 12th pick in the 2009 NFL draft, but faded into irrelevancy. Here are his rushing stats by year:
2009 - 247 carries, 947 yards, 3.8 YPC
2010 - 182 carries, 779 yards, 4.3 YPC
2011 - 37 carries, 179 yards, 4.8 YPC (season ended with a torn ACL)
2012 - 8 carries, 15 yards, 1.9 YPC
What do people think? Any value here? Any chance he becomes the starter if/when McGahee moves on or slows down? Any chance he gets a starting role elsewhere, or is he just another outright bust like Laurence Maroney or William Green? What kind of rookie pick would you be willing to spend to acquire him?
