He said Guice was the only other RB with a 1st round grade besides Barkley.

Good post.

Adrian Peterson was my favorite player in the NFL for a long time; I say that because i'm a guy that likes and believes in the RB position. I like this group of RBs.

But I know I'm a broken record on this and really actually try not to bring it up myself. Imho I don't see the point in drafting a RB high because I believe that Jay runs a system that doesn't feature the RB in a way that schematically maximizes their ability.

I think the biggest improvement in the run game will come from the 1) overall improvement of the LG and Center positions 2) health of the OL + RBs 3) improvement of the depth of the OL + RB 4) better weapons on the outside

Just 2 years ago Football Outsiders rated the run offense as #4 and that was with Fat Rob and Matt Jones.

Imo the difference was the OL stayed healthy, Kelly stayed healthy AND there were legit threats at the outside WR spots.
