The numbers don't back you up on this. Thirteen out of the top fifteen rushers from 2013 were picked in the first three rounds, 7 were 1st rounders ( Peterson, Lynch, Matthews, Johnson, Moreno, Bush and Spiller), 3 were 2nd rounders (McCoy, Forte, Lacy), 3 were 3rd rounders (Charles, Murray, Gore), 1 was a fifth rounder (Stacy) and 1 a sixth (Morris).
and of that list of players, the only one worthy of a market value contract is adrian peterson, a once in a generation runner.
The rest i would wager their teams think they are over paid, and a large portion of them are on at LEAST their second team now, with a couple being replaced as soon as next year(murray, spiller) anything higher then a 5th round pick on a rb is a waste of a pick.
