They still had a number of holes on that defense and also could of upgraded a few players on that oline.  So now it's OK to draft a RB in the 1st when you have a great QB and WRs while with holes on the D and oline could be upgraded?

Lol, their lines were fine as was their defense. As I've repeatedly said, RBs are very low in difficulty to acquire or replace, a good team can take one wherever they want. Bad teams shouldn't do that because the positional value is just too low to help a bad team before the player ages out. Good teams can get rid of a great running back, drop in a rookie, and keep winning, ie Indy in this example and  KC this past season. And then when the player becomes too expensive just move to the next guy. Grind them down and dump them.
