Until then, I'd take RBs late in the draft and through free agency (both rookie and vet) and try to find a solution through quantity rather than quality. RBs are too short-lived to take a first round stud when your team is still several pieces (and 2 or 3 years) short of being a contender. But you're right that it would be ridiculous to go to the extreme you're talking about.
