We pretty much have to take a RB on day 2 in the draft, right?

2nd in their division just like the giants and Cowboys (3rd).  So according to you winning

3-3. Division placement isn’t “winning”. Winning is winning. 

[PappyMay]

just depends what plays out in the draft. Someone may fall and be a steal when we pick 32.    Maybe Evans from Ole miss or Tucker from Syracuse with the 49ers 2nd Rd pick. 

[Panthering]

Definitely not, in fact we shouldn't use a single second day pick on a running back. Draft one late or sign a cheap FA. 

[The Huddler]

Lots of Free Agent RBs available this offseason

[Pimpdaddy]

I like D'Squarius Green, Jr or Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon.....

The point is we don’t have to. We’re about to get a very talented qb that we need to build around. Don’t take a rb until 4th round or later. Take positions of better value in the second or third rounds like te, lineman or wr. Build this team the correct way. 
 

it is so weird reading some of these posts. It’s like some people don’t  watch how other successful teams are built.

Yes, we are the worst team in the nfl WITH cmc...but we need to replace him with a high pick? lol

Absolutely and we have the free agency running back group to choose from. But this should be a big haul for our offense. QB OL RB TE WR should all be on the table.

I'd like to see Blackshear get some run...looked really good for the bills in preseason.

Yea I agree. But the Giants, Cowboys and Chiefs are all winning right now with first round RBs. No single position is REQUIRED to win except QB, but the more weapons you give your QB the better he’ll look. 

Best RB on the Cowboys presently is their 4th rounder in Tony Pollard 

KC just drafted a 7th round RB who looks better than their first rounder (who looks like a massive bust). 

you could easily argue draft position is dictating investments are getting more touches than they should

And to date, Barkley has never been on a team with a winning record.  

[TheRumGone]

you have former star rbs coming out and saying if they did it over again they would’ve picked another position to play because the nfl doesn’t value them anymore and don’t like to give second contracts. Chris Johnson recently in an interview said that.

FWIW, the upcoming free agency class for RBs is loaded and it is almost a guarantee one of them will have to take a below-market deal.

Where can we see the FA class

THIS x 100

Why?   We have Chuba.  See?  Later round RB's almost always work out.

Barkley is currently on a team with a winning record. And again, I’m not saying you need a first round RB, just saying the line that’s been floated many times about teams with first round RBs don’t win is provably false. Doesn’t matter if they’re not even the best RB on their team.
