[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1007866, member: 6578"] So the discussions of Dillon, Jonathan Taylor and even how we see Zeke's move and others....how easy has it really been the last three years to find a RB2 if not RB1 later in the draft? Here is a list below of guys that essentially have averaged 500 yards on the ground since being drafted (this year does factor into this a touch but go with me). 2023 - no way of knowing for sure but Achane (3rd round) and Roschon Johnson (4th) both appear to likely do it while Tyjae Spears (3rd) may as well. [B]2022 Draft Class[/B] 5th Tyler Allgeier - 1170 total yards 4th Dameon Pierce - 1039 3rd Brian Robinson Jr - 1013 7th Isiah Pacheco - 985 3rd Rachaad White - 631 [B]2021 Draft Class (divide by two for rough average)[/B] 4th Rhamondre Stevenson - 1780 6th Elijah Mitchell - 1294 6th Khalil Herbert - 1257 4th Chuba Hubbard - 1156 4th Michael Carter - 1055 [B]2020 Draft Class (divide by three for rough avg)[/B] 3rd Antonio Gibson - 2413 3rd Zack Moss - 1492 (misses by slimmest margins but left in) [B]2019 Draft Class ( / by 4 for rough avg)[/B] 3rd David Montgomery - 3750 3rd Devin Singletary - 3221 4th Tony Pollard - 2880 3rd Damien Harris - 2145 3rd Alexander Mattison - 1825 (barely misses) Here is a list from the Top 30 yard getters last year in the 2022 NFL Season here are some 3rd round or later guys on the list that aren't also above: 4th Jamaal Williams - 1066 yards UDFA - Austin Ekeler - 915 yards (722 receiving) 3rd D'Onta Foreman - 914 yards UDFA Jeff Wilson - 860 yards UDFA Raheem Mostert - 891 yards (200 yards receiving) 3rd James Conner - 782 yards (300 yards receiving) 5th Aaron Jones - 1121 yards (395 yards receiving) 3rd Alvin Kamara - 897 (490 yards receiving) All that is merely to illustrate how low positional value there is with running backs drafted...end of Day 2 and into Day 3 LOTS of good backs have come out. So when folks ask me sometimes why I don't advocate for RBs early...there is no other skill position in my opinion that you can literally find starters on Day 3 every year of the draft IMO. [/QUOTE]
