He simply gets mentioned as one of the many reasons not to draft RB ahead of pass rush, nickel-corner and LG.

"Starting RB" usually has some connotations that go along with it that I wouldn't apply to a guy who stepped in for a stretch 2 years ago and then was almost absent the stat sheet last year without any listed injury.  The only thing he is right now is a camp body until he earns his spot on the team.  As you say, many folks cited him as the reason our RB depth was "fine" or something to that effect.  I'm just not rushing to proclaim he's made the 53 man yet given the circumstance, so counting him as depth and calling our RB room "fine" or something similar seems to be higher expectations than there should be or should've been leading up to the draft.  I was guilty as well when Tank was selected.  Wasn't expecting RB there at all, but when reviewing the game logs for the guys in our RB room and their contracts, the need became clear and the proclamation that our RB room didn't need to be addressed in a relatively significant way began sounding ill-informed.
