top 10 running backs in DVOA by round draft

2nd
1st
1st
undrafted
2nd
5th
5th
2nd
6th
1st

meanwhile mccaffrey wasnt even the first rb taken in his own draft and youve got these 1st round picks farther down

barkley 16th
gurley 20th
michel 24th
fournette 26th
Your argument though is that teams should never waste 1st round picks on RBs is it not? So why does it matter whether he was the first back taken or not?

The RB ratings only tell part of the story.

Naturally guys picked high will be the RB1 and get most of the carries. The point is if you replace them and give RB2 those carries the differential is not that much.

How many rings did Barry Sanders and Adrian Peterson win. Obviously Peterson has a good shot with the Skins, but this season not withstanding.

Nice that the rest of the division can't take advantage from the Packers off day

Wilson should become MVP.
Couldn't agree more. Dragged us through so many times already this year, we're 7-2 despite a shocking defence (we've made Dalton, Schaub and now Winston look elite).
