Quote: These days there are tons of very good RBs taken late. I'd rather spend it on a position that is harder to hit on in the latter rounds.

Sorry to pick on this line, but this is what I am talking about.


If the majority of running backs are taken in the later rounds then it's not really surprising that the later rounds turn up "tons of very good RBs". But that doesn't prove your chances of drafting a very good RB are better in the later rounds. For instance, if 10 running backs were taken in round one and 30 in round two, you would expect round two to turn up more hits.


I just thought it would be interesting to know what proportion of RBs picked in each round turn out to be good ones.


Of course I take the point that running backs are no longer valued as highly.
