You have a better chance of getting the running back you think will make a true difference in the 2nd-3rd round than you do picking one of the leftovers in the 5th.

 

Wait a minute.  You mean to tell me that the better draft prospects tend to be picked in earlier rounds?? 

 

Crazy talk, bro. Crazy talk. 

 

Yes, believe it or not I'm aware of how the draft tends to operate.  I simply do not prioritize the RB position as highly as you do this offseason -

and THEREFORE -  I would not select one prior to the fifth round. 

 

Would I be upset if they added a guy in the fourth?  No, I think Dave has drafted pretty well over all - and I have some faith in him. But taking a RB in the top three rounds (early, late, whatever...) it's just not wise to me this year.  Just too many greater needs.
