It was a bad draft for RB’s. Since 1968 or the last 57 drafts there has only been 2 years that a RB wasn’t picked in the 1st RD. Teams can find cheap serviceable FA RB’s and pickup RB’s on cheap rookie contracts lower in the draft. Austin Ekler and Raheem Mostert are starting UDFA’s. Last year Mostert led the league in TD’s and was on the AFC Pro Bowl team.

First 4 RB’s drafted this year
2nd RD #46 Jonathan Brooks
3rd RD #66 Trey Benson
3rd RD #88 MarShawn Lynch
4th RD #120 Jaylen Wright

RB Isaiah Davis from Joplin, Mo was drafted in the 5th RD by the Jets.

Brooks is a risky pick at #46. In 3 years at Texas he only had 238 rushing attempts and is coming off a ACL surgery. Some mock drafts didn’t have him in the top 5 RB’s. Carolina should have waited until 52 or 65 instead of trading up.
