I'll never be behind a RB in R1, it was a bad pick. BUT, and as much as I've hated watching him plodding his way to an OLs butt every snap, i also think he's been kinda unlucky. His rookie year he was pretty good, I think the injury f***ed him. Combine that with his usage, which is baffling to me and feels like a rare example of Reid and Co not putting a player in the best position to succeed, and it's been pretty rough viewing. I doubt we get anything for him, I think he's absolutely bust, but I imagine he's here next year. He seems like a good pro and teammate and i don't really care about the parade.
I think receiving running backs are fools gold a lot of the time. It feels like they'll be a lethal offensive threat rather than just someone who doesn't run routes well enough to be a WR. I'd far rather the strategy of picking up guys late which fit one or 2 specific needs, speed, power, can block etc.a lot of RBs end up having decent hands after just never having them tested in college.
