If you think a guy has the potential to be something special, a guy likecAdrian Peterson, a Marshall Faulk, then yes, you take them.

IF you are set at the other skill positions and IF a rb is BPA at your draft position then.....maybe.

Just based on the life of said position in the NFL and length of playing time, they'd have to be extremely multifaceted and talented

If you're drafting in the top 10, then you aren't likely set at the other skill positions.

A team can ALWAYS use another pass rusher if they are set at every position.
RB's can be found later. |

No. Unless you a Peterson you look like you wasted the pick.

So, let's say you are the GM of the Rams.
You just drafted Sam Bradford #1 overall and are picking in the top 10. There's a guy sitting on the board at your pick that you, and everyone else, believe has all the tools and potential to be the next Marshall Faullk. You're passing on him?

How about you look at the top ten rushers from the past few yeas and tell me how many we're first round picks.
Last year was six of ten. It makes sense in the first but top ten? Just not worth it. At least right tackles aren't done at age 29. |

It hasn't made sense for a long time unless we're talking Barry Sanders or maybe Adrian Peterson.

The problem is, every draft is different, and you might have a weak draft like this year where teams overdraft guys just because there really isn't any "elite" talent available. For instance, in a stronger draft, guys like Fisher and Joeckel don't go until picks 9 or 10? Depends on the year....
