From '10-'20 there were 33 RBs taken in the second round. Only 5 of them have ever been to a Pro Bowl. So, yes, you can find a good RB in the second round. But the problem is that your chances are about one in six. And your odds get even worse the lower in the daft you go.
I agree with you that RBs wear out quicker than other positions. I would not pay big money to one over 28 years old. But if I had a good one I would pay to keep him that long instead of taking a chance on getting a guy like Isaiah Pead in the second round.
You're right. I thought that there had been other successful guys, and there has been but not as many as I had thought. For instance, J.K. Dobbins, D'Andre Swift, AJ Dillon are all good, along with the obvious addition of Taylor. I don't like the use of Pro Bowl as the criteria but the strange thing is that aside from those Pro Bowlers, there hasn't really been anyone who has done much at all. It has either been Pro Bowl or nothing, no in-between guys who are solid committee runners.
