Top ten rushers from this year, and round they were drafted:

1 Maurice Jones-Drew - 2nd
2 Arian Foster - undreafted
3 Fred Jackson - undrafted (2 years in semi-pro league)
4 Darren McFadden - 1st
5 LeSean McCoy - 2nd
6 Ray Rice - 2nd
7 Michael Turner - 5th
8 Matt Forte - 2nd
9 Adrian Peterson - 1st
10 Marshawn Lynch - 1st

So, that's three out of the top 10 RB this year that were drafted in the 1st round (all in the top 12, I might add). Two of them, McFadden and AP, ended up on IR.
