I believe what he's suggesting is that while some are overblowing the idea of getting a RB "late," they are ignoring that you could say that about every single position on the field.

 

That's re-framing the argument to fit a pre-determined agenda.

 

Yes, you can find a contributing starter at every position later.  Yet, that ignores the odds of that happening dropping with every round.

 

We cannot lose sight that this is an intentional change of topic, an attempt to move the debate away from the fact that if Fournette is taken with our first pick, it's because he's seen by the team as having the potential to be a very special player.

 

That's not what you're expecting out of any position taken later.  Because if we forget the leap in logic some are taking here, that would ignore that the chances of a player being special, much less becoming a starter, take a nosedive as the draft progresses.

 

Those seen as the best prospects go first.  Yet, there are no guarantees for any player at any pick.

 

Yet, it seems we love to create excuses for not liking some of the best prospects.

 

Again, it's why I can't wait until we're picking late and there's a lot more uncertainty about who would/would not be available.  As we are drafting high, someone is always scared (true mortal fear and terror) to draft somebody - and it's ridiculous.
