Perine played over 40% of the offensive snaps last year. RB2 is not a luxury pick. A TE is also going to get significant reps whether they win the starting job or not. The only way a RT improves the team this year is if they win a starting job, which is far from a given. After all, the reason we're talking RT is we have so many other draft picks at T that we aren't comfortable starting.
At 28? A RB is definitely a luxury pick...especially when you have a 12 million dollar one that can't play 3rd down. And I am not going to rely on a rookie to a great blocker on 3rd down either.
A TE may get reps...does not mean they will start or be a difference maker in our offense.
Going back to my original thought...if one of the top 2 RTs are there at 28...you take them. It should not even be a second thought.
Think of Munoz/Walter...Levi/Willie...he'll even Whit/Smith was 10 times better than recent.
