Again, I think that taking a RB in the 1st is a good strategy. I just wouldn't be as inflexible with it. I agree guys like Barkley, Fournette, and McCaffery were taken too high and their those teams had more pressing needs. But for me, if say a Barkley/McCaffery/Zeke slipped to the 20's or...

Well you've said TE/K/P are more valuable - but if you don't want to get discuss then, then we'll just agree to disagree on that. Jared Goff & Kirk Cousins aren't top 5 QB's even though the in the Top 5 highest paid players - so I don't agree with individual salaries to determine a players...

1) You think TE's, Kickers, and Punters are more valuable than RB's - and use weird metrics to like salary & snap counts to back it up. I don't see TE's, Kickers, and Punters getting drafted higher than RB's, and I don't see them contributing more on the field - but ok. If you think Brett Kern...

There's a couple of flaws with this. Pats, Seahwaks, Chiefs are 3 of the last 5 teams to take RB in the 1st, so successful perennial playoff teams do it. I don't get why you're comparing taking a RB to a big time QB. Isn't any position you take dumb in relation to a QB that worked out...

If you're saying "it's a hard and fast rule that no RB should be taken in the 1st Round" - then there's no need to debate how high in the 1st a RB is taken, right? Doesn't where a RB is drafted in the 1st become an irrelevant discussion if your statement is they should never be drafted anywhere...

I'd agree with that too. There's been 17 WR's taken in the first round the last 5 years. Only 4 have had a 1,000 yd season so far. Lots of busts.

I agree RB by committee is what we'll see more. But the 2018 Chiefs with & without Hunt: With Hunt - 11 games - 9-2 record - 434 yds per game - 36.7 pts - Scored under 30 pts 2 times in 11 games W/o Hunt - 5 games - 3-2 record - 406 yds per game - 32.2 pts - Scored under 30 pts 2 times in 5...

I get early in the first round, but the whole first round? Like, if you can't argue against CEH, who has measurables for a RB that almost never work in any round - would if someone like Zeke, or Saquon, or McCaffery went late in the 1st, would you think that's a mistake? I think CEH was just a...

I hear you - I don't think it's a bad strategy, I'm just on the side of don't use "never take a RB in the 1st Round" as a hard and fast rule. When they're talented enough, take them in the 1st. I think RB's have more value than TE's, but I don't hear "never take a TE in the 1st Round" as a...

To me it's not the 1st Round as a whole - but where in the 1st Round. RB's, Guards/Centers, Safeties, TE's - they're all considered a "don't take in the Top 10 picks" positions, which is generally correct. Some years the best RB is so good, a Top 10 pick can make sense. Some years the best RB...

The Top 5 RB's were ranked very close - CEH, Swift, Taylor, Akers, Dobbins. But the there was a perceived large drop off in talent for the next 5 - Dillon, Gibson, Vaughn, Moss, Evans - and those guys all went in the Top half of the 3rd round. That's really high. They weren't drafted like...

I think RB's are less valuable than they used to be, but people have devalued them too far. If you're looking at average salaries: 3 out of 10 highest paid RB's made the playoffs 5 out of 10 highest paid WR's made the playoffs 5 out of 10 highest paid QB's made the playoffs 3 out of 10 highest...

But in terms of "value" it looks different. The first 3 rounds are much more valuable. For instance, the "trade value" of the position where 2020 RB's were taken was about 3,600 whereas in 2019 they were about 2,400. 8 RB's taken in rounds 5-6 don't match the value of 2 taken in the 3rd...

I'm very firmly on the "yes, RB's do matter" side of the argument. But I didn't see what happened in the 2020 NFL draft coming 10 RB's were drafted in the First 3 Rounds - 2008 was the last time 10 RB's were taken in the first 3 rounds. 11 RB's taken in 2008, and it was an epic draft for RB's...
