Running back is a polarizing position when it comes to first round draft picks. On one hand, you get them for five years while (hopefully) helping solidify an offense with a player that can carry the ball, catch out of the backfield, and pick up blitzes to help protect your quarterback. On the other hand, you have a position that has devalued rapidly over the years, they don’t get any money in free agency - and if they do it typically isn’t from the team that drafted them - and you have a cycle of incoming backs placed into a rotation of other backs and coaches will “ride the hot hand.
