By picking a RB we made our round 3 or 4 pick in round 1. What a waste.

Like I showed in the post above this one, RBs taken in rounds 3 and 4 are generally crap.  RBs taken in round 1 are generally very good.

No, RBs taken in 3 and 4 are generally not your bell cow RB. Don't misconstrue the stat. Look at average carries, average receptions, KO return yards, etc to get a better picture than one yardage stat. RBs taken in round 1 are expected to carry the workload for the run game, and rightfully so. I am not certain that TE's role is going to be that prominent.

The issue is that we have greater needs than a RB and we had excellent options at those positions.

No [BLEEP] kidding.  They wanted a game breaking RB who can catch passes and can score from any spot on the field.  Apparently, that's important to the offense they plan to run.  So that's what they did.

this just in, a game breaking RB brought in to catch passes is probably not running for 1000 yards. Your uberstat is now meaningless.
