    RB's Don't Matter?

    TEs are more valuable. You provided a clear example on one team isolated, I responded in kind. Yes, Nick Boyle is more valuable than Mark Ingram. He plays more, he's paid more. I'm not sure what else you need to determine value in the strawman you provided. When Mark Andrews is in line for...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    Kicker and Punter is silly to discuss, I wouldn't take them in Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 either and you're just getting into the weeds. I'd disagree on TE, but I really don't feel like getting into the weeds and discussing it. Look up the Nick Boyle contract figure v. Mark Ingram from just...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    @bshaw28 I'm just going to respond to both of your posts in this one. Running backs are the least important position on offense. We've discussed it in previous threads, so going through one-by-one with each scenario and specific example is silly because it all goes back to the same...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    This is all very hypothetical, because you'd never have these guys available on the backend of R1 to be a test case. My only counter to it is that you don't see playoff teams or teams on the brink making a play for these top RBs either. But in theory, sure, if they were there at pick 32, it'd...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    For Round 1? Especially at the top, I think its a safe hard and fast rule in today's NFL. Chiefs at 32 taking another weapon for their offense...aight. Can't argue with that too much...it'd be like if the Chiefs added a slot WR or a pass catching TE. For that offense, they are in a position...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    FWIW - I dont have much problem with RBs being taken in R2 and R3, but I'm firmly on the side of this position group not having much value on a team winning. They are complimentary pieces. This year is just a tough year to use as a talking point considering there was a brief run on them, and...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    I get it. I think was a unique year with a small number of draftable running backs that all graded out similarly and the run on them just happened to start at the end of R2 and into R3, instead of that run usually happening end of R3, into R4. Think you can see this when Rams took Cam Akers...

    RB's Don't Matter?

    A rebuttal to this years data meaning much. There were only 16 total RBs drafted. 25 were drafted just last year. 21 the year before. 30 three years ago. This was a weird year for all of the issues that rose up during the process but also for the position. Not top heavy by any means, but a...
