I think DI is a simplier position and harder to screw things up too bad at. Whereas RB, you have to do a lot of stuff there that you could mess up, like pass protection. For instance, if a RB gives up a sack...that's a big thing. Fans might not even notice it, if the guy carries the ball good. But that sack was a big thing in the game.

I have an idea why DI might have a higher average number than average RB.  Fewer men possess the body and skillset to play the position, harder to find.  That could be why the best DL go so high in the draft, because there is such a huge drop off in talent, once you get past the cream of the crop.  Whereas with RB, starter quality backs can usually be found at all levels of the draft and free agent pools.  (Lindsay, anyone??)
