Wait what?

Do you think WRs and RBs have the same positional value?

No, running backs are way more valuable evidently. It's still 1992 in some people's minds.

As for your other comment about the RBs, consider:

Barkley - 1st round pick. Team is 5-11, 4-12, 6-10, and 4-13 since.
Henry - 2nd round pick, probably the exception but shows that the team must entirely commit to power running if the RB is to be worth the cost.
Chubb - 2nd round pick. Team is 7-8, 6-10, 11-5, 8-9 since he got there and, interestingly, his worst output year was his third year which is also their best record year. 
Kamara - 4th round pick who went to play with one of the best QBs in history.
CMC - 11-5 in year one when he caught 80 passes, since then 7-9, 5-11, 5-11, 5-12. Now on his second team after playing just 10 games the past two seasons.
Cook - 2nd round pick. He played 4 games the first year and the team went 13-3. This supports my contention that RBs are a last piece not a building block.

So, in sum, your idea of these players and what they actually are is worlds apart. Running backs overwhelmingly do not have a tremendous impact on the success of their teams and for the most part they are interchangeable when the team around them isn't very good. Spending a 1st on a running back is almost never a good idea as that valuable capital needs to be spent on other more important positions and even if you get a good one he's not going to be around by the time the team is actually good.

That's your illiteracy, did I say someone said that?  Isn't that one of the biggest issues because they have a short shelf life?  I can do what you did for the WR position.  Does that mean the WR position doesn't have a tremendous impact on a teams success?  The best way to win a championship without a HOF QB is a good run game and defense.

So yeah, I completely destroyed your argument with a line by line exposition and you've got nothing. In your new argument you still don't build a good run game and defense by taking a RB in the 1st round. You take pass rushers, CBs and offensive linemen. Then you sign a UDFA RB or if you really want to use a draft pick you take one on Day 2 or 3.
