Patriots RB Draft History (Since 2000)
Damien Harris (3rd), 2018
Sony Michel (2nd), 2017
James White (4th), 2014
Shane Vereen (2nd), 2011
Stevan Ridley (3rd), 2011
Justise Hairston (6th), 2007
Laurence Maroney (1st), 2006
Cedric Cobbs (4th), 2004
Antwoine Womack (7th), 2002
JR Redmond (3rd), 2000
It's not a very impressive list for a 20 draft sample size.
He also dedicated $9.9m in cap space to the RB trio of Michel/Burkhead/White last year and has only had 5 1,000 yard rusher seasons in his 20 years in New England and only 3 in the 15 seasons since Corey Dillon in 2004.
Having Brady throwing to your receivers might have something to do with lower yardages in the run game....
