Treehugger Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 RBs chosen with a top 6 pick since 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ki-Jana Carter, man what might have been had he not had a brutal knee injury. Poor guy never got a chance to show the NFL what he was made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Look at that cluster of busts in 2005. Yowsers. The other 3 in the top 6 were Alex Smith, Braylon Edwards and Pacman Jones. Aaron Rodgers went at #24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Rodgers went at #24. Ronnie Brown is paying dividends now I feel like. Not worth top 6 but still decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hearst and Ricky Williams had good careers, and Reggie Bush is shaping to have a decent career with the Phins and now Lions. I always felt Bush was mis-used and underutilized when with the Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 That RB draft had those three guys, and honestly, I think we got more out of Brandon Jacobs in the 4th than their respective teams got out of Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown, and Cadillac Williams.

Herc Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 yep, this is what i was touching on in the trent richardson argument. if you look at the rushing leaders every season half of them are undrafted or late round picks. and even when a running back does work out these guys have a 6 year shelf life before they fall off seemingly overnight. combine this with the increased use of 3rd down backs and more and more passing plays and they are not even close to being worth a 1st round investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
