To start I misread your comment as 1st or 2nd round picks. Regardless this argument is poor at best. For one you can apply it to almost every postion except QB. Also, in recent years RB's have fallen out of the first round to the second, but the top RB's in almost every draft class produce. Also, every draft is different. The two RB's in this draft were much more highly regarded than most in the past few years. If we didn't take Gordon he would have gone to someone later in the first.
Peterson
Bell
Mccoy
Charles
Lacy
All these guys are early draft picks at the top of their draft class. And if you look for some rankings of top 5 RB's in 2015, it will look very very similar.
You can absolutely pick up RB's later that can be good. Your hit rate goes down but that goes with every single position. I would be willing to bet that draft position to production correlation for the RB position has one of the highest or the highest of all positions in football.
