I'm always very trepidacious about taking RBs early as most drafts produce quality backs in the mid rounds, but if Dave can manage to address O-Line and SS after taking the risk of an early RB pick this year, I'll be onboard. 

 

I'd prefer Allen in the first round if he's there, but I'm unusually not adverse to a 1st round RB this year. 

 

I actually think Ivory and Yeldon can produce with better blocking.

But nowadays it's unusual for teams to reach the postseason without need for utilizing depth at RB due to injury. So having a stud rookie in the mix is warranted no matter one's opinion of the current RB corps. 

 

I'd prefer Cook in this scenario.
