He had no business getting taken down there but he just cannot get up to speed and his ability to change directions is limited at best. Hunt would've picked up 20+ with relative ease on that play and Ware just kinda trundled forward and got tripped up.
If I saw a guy that could take us back to a 'Hunt' level from a 'Ware' level, I'd drop a 2nd on that in a heartbeat. Wouldn't think twice. But I wouldn't spend cap money on a FA because that money's gone and it ain't comin' back.
The 2nd would be a guy who slots perfectly into our salary structure even through the beginning of Pat's big deal. It's not an ideal use of the pick but it's a salvageable asset that gets the offense juiced back up at nominal cost.
Because I trust this franchise to find another long-term RB. I'm not so confident that it can use that 2nd to find a damn pass rusher.

That is a tough game to play though. There were a couple runs that Ware made a really quick decision and hit the hole with really good speed and there was just a **** hair of an opening.
I think there were a few Hunt tries too hard to make something happen and bounces it out for a loss because those guys were fast as hell.
Maybe neither happens. IDK
But I don't think you can take a look at Ware's game and say, "YEP - first rounder. Right now."
