These statistical and data analytical nerds over analyze the ******* game so much.
The best running backs in the NFL are a collection of 1st and 2nd round guys.
Gurley, Zeke, Bell, Mccoy, Ingram, Gordon, Fournette..
Yea, you're going to have your outliers in the draft that are taken in the later rounds, that outperform 1st rounders (which happens at every position btw) but various factors like what college they went to, combine numbers and their physicals come into play, y'all know this.
Who have the cowboys plugged in for zeke that has given them the same production? Who is replacing Le'veon for the Steelers? Does the 2nd string rams RB even have over 100 rushes?
This **** is so dumb man, and the conversation and narrative is tired. You simply can't plug in some 6th round RB from Central Southwest Arkansas State and say he'll get you the same production from a RB taken in the 1st round.

No way in hell I'd pass up on Zeke, Bell, Gurley, Fournette, etc.

Thats a weak arguement though. The average career for a RB is 2.5 yrs. For a WR, 2.25 (less than a RB). For a TE, 2.8. So are those positions not worthy of a 1st round pick either?

This plays a factor in it but it's more about impact on the game to me
Who plays a bigger part in winning: Zeke Elliott or Jalen Ramsey? Christian McCaffery or Marshon Lattimore?

I'm starting to feel the same way about WR's, too
Edit: I might feel stronger against high pick WR's than RB's tbh

I think the chart comparison between WRs and RBs would reflect differently if you were looking at star level, high usage players.
But WR and TE are not the first place I'd want to go with my first rounder either actually.

I'm sure the cowboys hold value in Zeke over any defensive player in the league. Period.

Why not?Please don’t put Fournette in the same conversation with those other guys

I'm against paying elite wr or rbs. Not against drafting them. Can't recall the last time I seen a elite wr win his team a chip. Give me two good wrs over one elite one.

I guess only offensive linemen, linebackers and secondary guys should only be taken in the first round.
oh and the occasional reach that teams do for QB's.
jesus man.
redraft the 2013 NFL draft and Le'veon Bell is the number 1 pick.

In the worst draft of our generation the very best RB in the league who is one of the very few generational talents at the position is the first pick. Big stretch there!

redraft the 2015 draft and Todd gurley is a top 3 pick. Melvin gordon goes in the top 10.

You're saying that about Gurley at his peak (and he was nothing special, btw). We'll see where he is in a couple years.
I certainly would not take Gordon in the top 10.

Julio for Hogan, Edelman & Amendola
