Since 2005, here is a breakdown of the RBs taken in the first round who became 1,000 yard rushers: 

RD 1  - 55% 15/27
RD 2  - 29% 11/38
RD 3  - 16% 6/37
RD 4  - 7% 3/45
RD 5  - 7% 3/42
RD 6  - 4% 2/46
RD 7  - 2% 1/51

Sure, you can find a RB in the later rounds, just like you can find a QB in the later rounds (Tom Brady), but like any other position, you'll have the best result if you try to pick the best one. 

It only works when your O-Line is good. Our OT's suck! This is a perfect example of putting the cart before the horse.

Well, for some reason, Urban Meyer disagrees with you.  He thinks our offensive line is okay as it is.  He thinks they can play better than they did last year. They did run block pretty well last year.  

He wanted more game breaking difference makers on offense.  He wanted more speed.  We definitely need more than one RB, and Etienne is a high quality running back.
