Ben Baldwin plots data by EPA per rush and PFF Run Blocking Grade, which is a good look. Even by using those three metrics, the second round RBs from the last 10 years are either boom or bust. Usually you’ll find some good committee guys, but those seem few and far between. It’s strange.
Why is the 2nd round important? Are they actually busting at a rate higher than any other position? I think I missed why we got tied up on 2nd round. The amount of guys who hit my criteria above after the 2nd into undrafted is expansive and why many feel you shouldn’t pay them because they could be had anywhere, especially with the right line.
