Agreed
But, ask yourself how good would the draft class look if you take off one of those names near the top of the list and added a RB? The RB class was decent, but not great. And unless they took one with a top 1-3 pick the talent was going to drop off quickly and they were only going to be getting an average back at best and they knew it. In the first it had to be an OT so no RB there. They could have passed on Kneeland in rd2 but DE was/is a big need and after losing Williams I'm sure glad they didn't do it. There was no way they could pass on a talent like Beebe for one there. Liufau was the one guy they might have been able to pass on but they needed LB depth almost as bad as RB. That was the spot to get a guy, but they chose not to do it thinking that there were several ave guys left and they should be able to grab one later. But that didn't happen as they pretty much all got taken in RD4, and we didn't have a pick.
But now I'm still perplexed they didn't add a RB besides the worn out guys we signed in FA.
