TE and RB in the first round are just a no go for me. There are so many better ways to spend that pick. Having a good CB, DE or OT on a rookie deal is infinitely more valuable than having a TE or a RB on a rookie deal. The surplus value in the former cases vs the latter cases is insane.
To put it another way, it doesn't matter how good the incoming rookie class is, a top 10 OT is not signing a 1 year 9 million dollar prove it deal.
And RBs have so little value that second contracts for running backs are being regretted across the NFL daily. Titans are shopping Henry, Elliot was cut, Mixon is being talked about as a cut, Aaron Jones took a pay cut, Kamara may go to jail (granted, unrelated to his play on the field but still noteworthy).
Maybe Dalvin Cook? I'm not sure.
