It doesn’t matter where you take them as long as you hit on the pick, especially the higher ones. I do agree with waiting until you have your QB to spend any significant draft capital on RB though. If you don’t have your franchise QB, the front office should be trying to tank without making it look obvious to the casual fan that’s what they’re doing. If the team is too good in other areas, you will perpetually prevent yourself from having a shot at the best QB prospects in a given draft and soon find yourself in QB purgatory.

The problem with these best case scenarios and philosophies are that GM’s/Head Coaches generally have a very short time to get the team competitive before the owner will replace them so doing what’s best long term for the team gets trumped by what’s best right now to keep their job(s) safe.
