Hell, this is coming from a regime that has passed the ball on first down more than any other in NFL history. They know the value of passing the ball.

The guy could be a great RB. Knowing Veach and Reid, he probably will be. But that’s not the point. Don’t draft RBs in the first round.
I have a few iron-clad rules in my job: don’t put nurses or teachers on juries. Every time I’ve broken that rule, I’ve regretted it. And the analytics say don’t draft an RB in the first round. The only saving grace is that we have the best QB/player in the league, which makes our room for error larger than other teams.
