Yes you have to follow your board but you're also gonna have inherit values based on positions. The numbers will tell you finding a contributor at RB later in the drafts is significantly more likely than other positions.


Nobody in the entire league drafts with untethered BPA. It's nice in theory but it's not realistic. You'd end up double dipping in positions you only play one at a time like MLB, C, QB, etc.

We disagree completely on that first point. RBs drafted early have a high hit margin too. RB is just one of the easier positions in the NFL.

And double dipping is not a bad thing if you're hitting on good players which is whats morel likely to happen if you ignore constantly evolving needs and focus on accumulating the best players. Good players are more useful currency for improving teams than bad players. Having 2 great RBs and 1 good RB is a better problem to have than having 1 great RB, 1 good RB, and 1 bad guard that you drafted because you "needed" one. Now you have a player that no one wants and you still have that same need. At least if you had drafted that great RB, you could trade him for picks or for the guard you need, but no you decided to arbitrarily limit the draft pool but ignoring some of the best players available because they're at a position you devalued based on an illogical strategy.
