We all know that you can get productive RBs later if you know what you're doing. We all know that many if not most of the elite RBs in the league today were taken in the first round. The question is can you afford to take an elite RB in the first. RBs have a limited shelf life. Had the Texans taken an RB with their first pick in 2003, McGahee, for example, that poor bastard would be in a wheelchair now.
Where's the value? Will the right first round RB put the team over the hump and into the playoffs? Will that RB blossom into full productivity when the rest of the team is peaking, too? Or should the team look to address other areas of weakness this year while hoping to luck into a star in the 4th (which they've done before) and thinking that they should be able to reach for a back next year?
I think it boils down to BPA at the three or four positions of desperate need once the pick rolls around.
