I am not a believer in taking a RB in the first round generally.
The exception is if you are at the end of the round (something like 24 and onward) and if the back is truly exceptional. Like if a Todd Gurley type player is there when we pick at 32 I would take that player. The problem is that player likely won't be there cause other NFL teams i think over value that position. So you will usually never find a player that good that late.
RB is an instant plug and play position if they are good and their impact on the stat sheet is clear but that usually does not equal wins much. The Rams last year went from 6-10 to 7-9 and their offense was actually worse this year as far as yards and points. Now it think Gurley did help them win but the overall impact was not as much as people tend to think.
Now next year i do hope we do pick a RB but it needs to be at a value spot.
