The value of the RB position is horribly low. Probably the lowest it has ever been.
When you combine the value of the position in todays NFL along with all of the successful backs from mid rounds it is hard to spend a 1st round pick on one at all let alone a top ten pick on a RB.

Yes, if he is that talented you do it without hesitation. Ozzie Newsome who is considered the best GM by most people took one at #5 overall and immediately won the Superbowl. I don't think the game has changed so much that you avoid RBs early. Especially with the new rookie wage scale in place. Hell, last year two guards went in the top 10. Are RBs really even in question?

What about someone like LeSean McCoy? Someone who is great at running the ball AND great as a receiver out of the backfield. If you planned on running an offense suited for a back like that, would you consider him worthy of a top 10 selection?

Yeah, that's what I think. We know that it's a passing league now. But if you have a guy with great hands like McCoy or our own Jamaal Charles, why would you not take a backfield receiver who can also keep defenses honest up the middle or off tackle? Battering ram running backs in the mold of George Rogers or Christian Okoye may be out of vogue due to the terrible rules changes, but dual-threat backs should be all the more valuable as a result.

If the Chiefs could have traded Jamaal Charles to someone early in the 2011 season for a 1st round pick, knowing that QBs like Luck and RG III were likely to be available in the draft, would it have been a good move? I think so, because in addition to 2 1st rounders, it would have improved their chances of sucking enough to make one of them the first overall.
I like what both Indy and Cleveland are doing here. And I like Trent Richardson's chances of eventually playing in post season games better now too.
