In recent years, many NFL pundits and fans have been insisting :
- “Teams never should take a RB in round 1.”
- “You can get very good RBs later on the draft.”
- “The best RBs are usually taken in rounds 2-5.”
- “Teams can win with serviceable RBs.” (thereby mitigating the importance of having a star RB).
My quick answers to these four statements are:
- Taking a RB in Round 1 depends on the top talents at the position and how deep the draft pool is at RB in a given year.
