If you disagree, point to a RB in the last 15 years that had a positive Extra Points Added per carry. We would have been better off drafting a WR or another TE.

You need a running game to close games out. This pick will also help put points on the board. He is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams. We can still improve the OL, D and possibly another WR or TE with our 4 other picks. Now we also have a RB under club control for 5 years + franchise tags. That extra year can be huge if you hit on a RB.
