The league thought for 5 mins that good RB’s didn't matter anymore only to have Saquon, Jacobs and Henry obliterate that argument last year.

At the same time, we shut Saquon down in the SB.
Turns out having a good RB didn't mean shit -- what mattered was having a DL that absolutely tortured us without even having to try very hard. That was both a testament to the strength of their DL and the weakness of our OL.
Recent history, even with Saquon, Jacobs and Henry, still supports that there are FAR more valuable positions on the field than RB.
I'd still look to the trenches in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Maybe even the 3rd.
