As Taylor said, if they can't run the ball, the offense will struggle. I thought Finley was a good pick in the 4th, and I'm really excited about the potential of both Pratt and Wren.
Getting Williams in the 6th was a great pickup, and I may be in the minority, but I loved the pick of Rodney Anderson. He is worth the late round gamble. He's an insanely talented back. If he can get healthy and put the injuries behind him, the Bengals got themselves one helluva RB.
I also like the fact that they got so many high character and work ethic players, many who were also team captains in college.

I think when some complain about both the RB selections they forget that we only have 3 RBs on the current roster and one of those is a former QB that they are trying to convert to RB. It is very realistic that both the draft selection make the roster. They may not make active every week but both could make the roster especially if one of them proves valuable in the return game.
