I'd love Ronnie Brown on my team, especially next year when his knee is fully recovered. He was quickly becoming one of the top 2 or 3 backs in the league before his injury.
That said, because he was taken at #2, Brown's contract is much, much higher than I'd want to pay a running back, even an elite one. Combine that with the high cost to trade for someone of his stature and the likelihood that he won't be back up to elite speed until next year and I couldn't pull the trigger. As much as I would want a talent like him on my team, I don't think I could ever invest that heavily in an RB given the nature of the position.
