[QUOTE="porky88, post: 135588, member: 489"] I agree 100%. Some act as if you can find a starter in the 2nd round because of the success of Maurice Jones-Drew from a year ago. The reality is 1st round RB’s have significantly contribute to their teams success and it’s paid off being a fairly good selection. More so than 2nd round backs. If you look across the NFL. Lions - Kevin Jones Bears - Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson Cardinals - Edgerrin James Rams - Steven Jackson Seahawks - Shaun Alexander Falcons - Warrick Dunn Saints - Deuce McAlister and Reggie Bush Buccaneers - Carnell Williams Panthers - DeAngelo Williams Bills - Willis McGahee Dolphins - Ronnie Brown Patriots - Laurence Maroney Colts - Joseph Addai Jaguars - Fred Taylor Chargers - Ladainian Tomlinson Chiefs - Larry Johnson Ravens - Jamal Lewis 8 out of the 12 playoff teams have 1st round RB’s as their primary runner. All 4 teams to play in their respecting conference championship did as well and all 4 teams used 2 RB systems. 7 out of the 8 playoff teams whom advanced to round 2 of the playoffs all have 1st round RB’s contributing. 17 1st round RB's starting across the NFL and significantly contributing to their team. Saying you can’t get much success with RB’s in the 1st round is a false statement. You can go up and down every position and find busts. RB actually might be the easiest position to find early impact guys. You are extremely right on with the receivers. 1st round receivers don’t equal success right way in the NFL. It’s one of the toughest positions to adjust too. Look no farther than Javon Walker. It took him 3 years to make a big impact. Favre is at the prime of his career. If you want to find an early impact player then it’d be hard to make a case for anyone else not named Marshawn Lynch that realistically could be there at 16. [/QUOTE]
