Would you really like to look at the past evidence of successful RB’s in the 2nd round or later Vs impactful defensive players drafted later?

Yes. I've already done it and it shows RBs drafted in the first two rounds are significantly better than later round RBs.
I've actually posted the stats not long ago.

Surprisingly, Verse decided to go back to Florida State for another year. He is one of the biggest returnees this year. He must have a massive NIL deal to have done this. If he declared this year he goes top 15, it's just a weird decision to me.

I really thought he came out. My bad.

Well of course, I’m sure every single position is the exact same way. But that wasn’t what I was talking about. I’m saying the # of RB’s that make an impact drafted 2nd round or later vs getting an impactful defensive player or even WR later. RB is a much easier position to fill.

You and me are going to be in the minority of guys that prefer Gibbs to Robinson. I see Gibbs as a faster Kamara

That's exactly what he is. Dude is going to be awesome if he finds the right offense.

I will say, I don't think every team will be able to maximize Gibbs. He's got to go to an offense or QB that throws to their running back a lot.

Like for example, Drew Brees always targeted the hell out of his RBs. He got LT to 100 catches in San Diego, then he threw tons of passes to Reggie Bush, and even when the best receiving back he had was Pierre Thomas, he threw a bunch of passes to Pierre Thomas. Then he gets this option route maestro who pinballs off tacklers, and they go nuclear.

Bijan is an easier fit to project... every team in the league could use his downhill rushing. But he doesn't offer the passing game potential Gibbs does.
