I naturally agree with you here - there is a whole glut of similarly valued RBs on the board at this stage that it makes sense to move back unless we have "fallen in love" with one of them.

We could add some extra depth with the pick in the 3rd - with us being up against the cap getting productive starters in 2nd-4th rounds is very important for cap management purposes.
