We just saw two RBs get selected in the top 15 back in April. We still see some RBs going in RD1 here and there. Everything is cyclical. Pat Mahomes and Joe Burrow cant be Pat Mahomes and Joe Burrow if they're on the bench for more than half a game.

Controlling tempo and clock management is going to come back at some point via running the football. As LBs and SSs get lighter? You watch. Teams will start adding heavier lineman, the FB position and traditional TEs to tee off on them and make short work out of them.

You could make the argument that Pederson is doing it already based on April's draft class. Strange, Bigsby and Parish are all in that power, heavy handed run mold offensively.

At some point. 1500 yard rushers will start to climb and 4500+ yard passers will start to decline. Its all trendy.

This! Pederson seems to be adjusting the offense akin to a more explosive version of Jon Gruden's Raiders offense that was a West-Coast passing game with a power running game. Bigsby w/Engram & Strange will gash defenses with lighter linebackers and nickelbacks playing more snaps. Then, when the defense creeps in, Trevor goes for the knockout punch over the top.
