You realize the guy the Browns picked up off the street (30 something Wilis McGahee) has more yards rushing since the Colts acquired Richardson than Richardson does right? Richardson might be a good player, but he was never worth the top-5 pick the Browns used on him, and he certainly isn't worth the first rounder the Colts gave up for him. The Colts could find a lot of guys who can run for 3 yards a carry of the street, as evidence from Willis McGahee. Its just a terrible overpayment, and next year when you can't draft a player of need with your first rounder, you'll think its an even worse trade.
