I just think we used Foster beautifully last year, and we run the arrow route seemingly 25 times a game this year to Grimes/Blue. So while I don't think RBs are that valuable, I think some guys need to be thought of as offensive weapons more than RBs (LT and Faulk like you mentioned, Peak Foster, Forte, etc...). This doesn't mean I would be eager to spend a 1st on a position that you can duplicate 90% of with a mid round pick (or 80% of with a UDFA). But if the multi-purpose version of Todd Gurley is in the draft, I don't run from him at #22 if the draft falls that way.
