It would have to be a once a decade type of RB going to a built team for me to do it in the top 10. Late first sure, but top 10 is tough to justify in today's league.

To everyone saying no, let me ask you a few questions.
Would you give a first-round choice for a rookie Jamaal Charles? How about Adrian Peterson? Arian Foster? C.J. Spiller? If the answer is yes, then you would give a first-round choice for a running back. Perhaps from a strategy perspective you would find it advantageous to wait, but that doesn't mean that they're not worth a first.

If the answer is yes, then you should have drafted a QB with that pick. |

Any team that doesn't take a QB if they don't have one should be expellede from the league.

RB's are more risky than QB's.

No, it doesn't really make sense to draft them high. Runningback has become more of a complimentary position in the NFL, with the explosion of the passing game, and the league as a whole has shifted towards stables of specialist RBs rather than featured single backs. There's a few exceptions of course, but they basically prove the rule.

It's riskier than a QB. If the QB sucks, you'll have a shot at picking another and hopefully better one sooner rather than later. If the RB sucks, you're stuck in a reverse one dimensional game that will kill most QB's.
