I'd like to know where all the good RBs are. The 2013 Draft looks set to be lackign at RB, and I don't see many RBs that get me excited for 2014 or 15. It makes me wonder if we're seeing a talent drain at RB due to talented athletes being steered to other positions.

Along these lines, I wonder if this is the year that we finally see no running backs go in the first round. Two years ago we were close, but Ingram snuck in at the back of the first (which may have been a mistake), but this year there just doesn't seem to be any first round value, and the really RB needy teams this year don't seem to be teams that usually reach for need.

Perhaps, though remember at this time Doug Martin was a 3rd rounder, so lots of time for people to come through. I think there are a number of backs who CAN contend in that Top 50 category but don't seem to be 1st round material (Bernard, Bell, Jamison, Lacy, etc).

We'll def. talk about it on the Podcast!

In my own defense, at this time last year I was hammering the "If Mark Ingram is a first round prospect, Doug Martin should be too since they're practically the same player."

But a blind squirrel and a nut, and all of that.

Todd Gurley is the next elite RB prospect.

No homer.
