Ok, maybe "afterthought" is strong for Gio, but it'd be far from an even split. You only draft a RB that high if he's going to be the starter and a huge part of the offense. 300+ touches.
Well, Gio is under contract through 2019 at a little over $5M per. Having a star quality player under wraps for 5M, and taking a RB at the #9 slot isn't a terrible financial deal, as the #9 from this years draft was a 15M deal. Rookie deals are for 5 year? So, having 8M per, tied up in a potentially great backfield duo isn't all that frivolous.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
