[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 903332, member: 12283"] I've demonstrated to you before (I think more than once) that the hit rate at running back on day 3 is too poor to think that a team can just always find a solution going that route. Good running backs from day 3 do exist, just like at any other position, but finding one with any particular pick, rounds 4-7, is a low % proposition. So if you actually [I]need[/I] a running back and think "oh, I'll just take one in the 5th because look at Aaron Jones," you're almost certainly going to fail. Day 2 is, demonstrably, where the majority of good running back play is found. If you have a running back in place and you want to take shots on a successor on day 3, by all means. You may hit. That I've proven this to you and you're still coming back with the same argument suggests to me that you just don't want to see what's there. Also your comments here essentially boil down to "find a running back who isn't good enough that you want to give him carries." So I think you maybe need to think about it. McCarthy's last year here, running backs almost never took the ball away from the QB. Since LaFleur took over, Green Bay has shifted towards balance. What has happened to the offense as a result?
