Might want to refer to my post (#33) 80% of those guys would still suck if they got the exact same opportunity as Leonard did this year

Unfortunately there is no way to prove this. What we do have is concrete evidence of RBs selected in the 2nd and 3rd having similar production when given the opportunity to do so over the last 10+ years.  

The hit rate is of course higher in the first (same as every position). 

Run game production is more about the Oline and opportunity than it is about difference in talent between 1st and mid round backs.

Add all of that onto the fact that RB is the least valuable position on offense or defense. That's why running backs are bad value early draft wise. If they can contribute a lot in the pass game it increases their value but still overall not good
