This is why you pick a RB in the first round.  

Since 2005, here is a breakdown of the RBs taken in the each 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

You keep copy / pasting that everywhere - but it pretty much stands to reason that first round players will probably outperform players from lower rounds, regardless the position. 

You want  to make EVERY running back better? You want EVERY wide receiver better? Improve the offensive line. Do you want TL to be sitting on the sidelines injured because we didn't protect him? Jenkins was a more valuable pick.

You want our offense to run up higher numbers? Keep the opposing offense off the field. Defensive picks would have been more valuable.
