RBs fall a lot farther than some people think. Over the last 2 years, only a total of 10 RBs were taken on the first 2 days of the draft.
Yes... it varies from year to year, and Yes, some of this is based on the quality of the crop, but the numbers are also affected by the low value of the position.
Could we select a guy in the third round or below and still get a starter? Very possibly.
