re: Wisdom of Drafting RBs in the NFL Today

Looks like he has the right components. His stock is helped this year IMO that isn't a strong RB draft class. He's the only one I'd call surefire 1st Rd. Murray might be close.
As the original point, RBs have become one of the most disposable commodities in the NFL. It's really the easiest position to transition from college to pro as far as running. Usually the biggest step is blocking and receiving skills.
The pounding they take in the NFL is making the RB by committee all the more practical too. Another factor in kinda lowering their overall value. There can still be some big game changers or heavy load carriers but they seem to becoming increasingly rare as well as becoming a bigger liability in the event they go out.

i think this is the worst running back class in quite a long time.
ingram is possibly the only 1st rounder..
williams may sneak into the late first round..
and i like murray a lot too, but i believe he's projected anywhere from 3rd round to 5th round. he has good speed and catches the ball well.. but i'm not sure about his inside running..

RBs should be drafted 4th round and down to FA. there is just too much risk.

Don't be surprised if runningbacks like Lamichael James, Jacquizz Rodgers, and Noel Devine get picked up in the first round. Half the teams are starting to trend toward having skill sets similar to Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles, and Jahvid Best on their rosters.

well devine should go around where mccluster went.. probably even a little later.
