    I'm pretty sure Ringer had 6,000 carries in college.

    Seriously though he had almost 400 carries his senior year

    Who cares if he was the first RB or the 20th? If he turns out to be a serviceable RB, that's all that matters. There will be better players drafted later on and there will be worse players drafted higher up. It happens with every position for every team. The only thing that matters is if the player your team picked is good... Not what players on other teams do.

    Tell that to San Francisco. Rodgers instead of Alex Smith matters. Those franchises would be completely different right now.

    My point is, that applies to every team. It's an educated guessing game. Hit and miss for every team, every year.

    Oh I agree with you there but it's just hard to swallow that they saw Sankey as the highest RB in the class. Everyone misses on some picks but taking the first of a position in the draft and it be a miss (jury is still out on Sankey) hurts a little worse, IMO.

    Idk. It's an opinion. The people in charges opinion was he was the better back to draft when they drafted him. They get paid to make that decision. So who are we to argue after the fact?

    I knew nothing about Sankey, but after he was drafted and I watched some of his college game I was excited. Jury is still out... But I think he's trending upwards.

    Not all of them will pan out, but it's been noted by several analysts that last year's freshman class of RBs was the most impressive in quite a while. Fournette would obviously be the preferred pick, but no way he makes it out of the top 10 if he stays healthy.

    Do we have to have this "if only we drafted this guy" talk every single day now? It's like your dad had early onset Alzheimer's and gives you the sex talk every day through high school.
