I think that Kubiak really wants a guy who can step in and be the "feature" back if Slaton gets injured. Gartrell doesn't have enough quickness to threaten the edge, so he has to run between the tackles. He'd be OK as a specialist short-yardage guy, but perhaps we sign him as an UDFA to go along with Andre Brown or Rashad Jennings.
