Drafting a RB First Round is Dumb

This draft class is deep with RB talent. Yes, Jeanty is the cream of the crop but we can draft a more than serviceable RB in rounds 3-5,

The drop of in OL/DL talent or WR talent from #13 to day 2 - day 3 picks is far greater.

Considering the Front Office has no clue how to manipulate the salary cap, you can consider Osa Odighhizuwa gone, who had an excelllent year getting pressure from the inside. Mazi Smith played better the latter half of the year but not sure if we can count on him. Interior DL needs to be a strong consideration. If we can't stop the run then were hopeless.

Maybe my expectations were too high for Tyler Guyton but he looked like a turnstile out there at LT this year. Terrence Steele was also iffy & Zack Martin may retire. Cooper Beebe is going to continue to get better and Brock Hoffman / TJ Bass weren't terrible filling in for Martin. But the OT situation was horrendous. Dak was running for his life out there. Not sure if Guyton or Steele have the ability to kick inside but if a OT is there at #13 that might not be a bad move.

Personally, I would love to see us grab a WR in Round One. Outside of CeeDee Lamb the WR unit is awful. Tolbert never really progressed much and while Brandon Cooks is okay at times I don't really think he is threatening anyone. If Luther Burden falls to us we should take him.

I'd love to see us grab an off-ball LB in rounds 2 or 3. Overshown was a stud but there's no telling how he returns from that knee injury. Marist Liufau has shown flashes and hopefully he continues to improve but it would be nice to invest some here.

Our team needs to get top-tier talent at premium positions through the draft. The front office is not going to make any kind of splashes in Free Agency. RB is just not the premium position it once was, you can find value in mid-late rounds. Hell, if Dowdle was the guy from day one this year as he should have been that would have been more than a sufficient running game.
