1. Khalil Herbert - 6th round
2. Aaron Jones - 5th round
3. Tony Pollard - 4th round
4. Travis Etienne - 1st round
5. Nick Chubb - 2nd round
6. Rhamondre Stevenson - 4th round
7. Josh Jacobs - 1st round
8. Miles Sanders - 2nd round
9. Tyler Allgeier - 5th round
10. Raheem Mostert - UDFA
    

I would agree that like all other positions, you higher you select, the better your chances are of the guy being good but you can also invest late round picks into RBs and strike gold more often than most other positions, especially if your OL is up to par. 

That kind of makes it difficult for us, doesn't it? Lol.

Who's "we", and why aren't "we" using yards per touch (YPT) to include receiving stats as well as simple stats from handoffs?  Today's NFL requires that a back be much more diverse than just taking the handoff.  I think that to get a true measure of a RBs effectiveness and value in today's league, you likely must also include something that factors in pass blocking efficiency, as it is a pass driven league.
