Interior OL and RB's.
Saquon was drafted with the 2nd overall pick, so if you wanted him, theoretically, you're gonna have to take him in the top 3.
Whats the difference in Saquon and say, James Connor as a player? Saquon is an A+ blue chip player, whereas Connor is a B player. The value in the difference isn't enough to spend a first round pick on said player. We have mountains of evidence that shows that running backs can be found year after year, anywhere. Literally, grab a mid tier FA running back for cheap.
I think Saquon is a great, generational type running back. Going to have a great career. I still wouldn't draft him over a potential franchise QB in the first round. I'd take a pass rusher, a LT, a Corner, hell, even a LBer over a RB in the first round.
The generational RB just isn't that much different in terms of value vs a good solid one.

Every position is constantly found year in and year out in mid to late rounds. That statement doesnt mean anything.
This isnt boxing or tennis every position in football is important although to different degrees. If there is a guy like Saquon available in middle 1st round and even a small need for RB on the team.. You take him. Every NFL GM would.
