“You should never ever ever draft a running back in the first or second round.”
There are exceptions, right?
“You can get a good one later on in the draft.”
Yes, if a really good one happens to fall to you in a later round, like Aaron Jones (pictured above), the UTEP RB whom the Packers hopped in the 5th round 4 years ago..
Three years ago, Cardinals’ GM Steve Keim thought so highly of the RB position that he gave David Johnson a 3 year $39M deal despite the fact that Johnson had only turned in one stellar season and had just come off a season in which he played in only a half a game.
