In my opinion, Travis Henry as a running back is better than Shelton as a tackle, and is certainly an upgrade over Marcel Shipp. Let's put it this way - there's a reason the Cards went out and signed Oliver Ross to play RT in 2005, and it's not because Green wants Shelton to start elsewhere, but rather because Shelton won't be starting at all. In that respect, he's at least on the same level as Henry in terms of status, since Henry is a "former starter but now back-up" as well. Still, if you're making a list of best players at their position, I bet Travis Henry's name comes up on the RB list long before L.J. Shelton does on the offensive tackle list. Just my two cents.
