I see your point, and agree to an extent.  In my latest mock, both Dobbins and Edwards-Helaire were sitting there, back to back, at the top of the board with the 65th pick.  It was very tempting to take one of them, however I showed a little restraint and went with an OT.  I think RB in the top half of the draft is a bit of a hard sell, seeing how the team added two RBs last year, and I'm sure that the team will be wanting to see them healthy and in action this year.
