If your team needs a RB and you're loaded everywhere else, then sure whatever. But now you're stuck having to dump him before his next contract no matter how productive he was. You simply cannot pay him.

How many teams are actually loaded everywhere though? Truly?
I mean, sure if Saquon had dropped to pick 29, **** I guess go ahead. Run him in the ground for 5 cheapish years and move on.
Taking him 2nd (same with taking Zeke, or Fournette high) is just dumb in that you aren't even getting the monetary value out of having a draft pick RB because the market for RB's just isn't high so they're already the highest paid player at their spot.
Take the Cowboys and Zeke draft. They took him at 4. Jalen Ramsey goes at 5, and the next RB isn't taken until 45.
Maybe this is just me, but Jalen Ramsey and Jaylon Smith sounds better than a RB at 4.
