And that is because, say it with me class, "Running Backs Have Been Devalued." 

Every mega deal made with a RB over the past 5 years has resulted in the player being released early, traded, or restructured to get that money off the books. A few of those still had years remaining and the player was not even a starter anymore.

Not devalued but realistic with them not being able to remain at a high level of play for a long time. Teams still spend money or picks on them.

Comparing them to WRs is crazy because teams have to over pay for garbage there. You need 6 WRs and you can be fine with 2 RBs. The talent and limited spots on a roster make it easier to find talent later or even sign someone off the street. WRs are much harder to find late and the production is spread around. It enables interchangeable WRs to make close to $10 million. A WR off the street won't play but a RB could be successful enough.
