You fans expect too much from these players

You can't hand your coach chicken shit and expect him to make chicken salad.

Draft position seems to matter less with the RB position than some others.

Kareem Hunt late 3rd round
Devon Achane late 3rd round
Gus Edwards UDFA
Jerome Ford 5th round
Austin Ekeler UDFA

You might have been able to excuse Chase Brown by draft position, but the same coaching staff has yet to develop Traveyon Williams or Chris Evans to the point of gaining meaningful playing time either.
