It's a combination of big time misses and RBs being one of the least valuable positions on the roster.
Aside from K and P, I think RB is at the very bottom of the list of position to draft high.
QB
OT
DE
CB
DT
LB
S
TE
WR
OC
OG
RB
Sure, there's always a chance a guy with a high rating falls to you, but given other similarly rated players at different positions, i'd say RB almost always gets sent to the bottom of the list.
Is that Patriot specific or NFL general? And I really doubt OC rates above RB, and probably not OG either. Good Interior OL can always be had on day 3, but most good RBs are gone by the end of the 3rd round.
