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.

I'm not saying high round RBs don't hit. I'm saying later round RBs hit at a significantly higher pace than the rest of the positions.

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.

Bad guard? Huh? Why would you draft a bad guard? What if said guard is an all pro? pro bowl? Why are you devaluing player B for no reason?

These discussions are in such bad faith it's actually crazy. If you can't tell where i'm coming from at this point then nothing I say will be worth either of our times.

I'll summarize it one last time. Draft Jeanty if you have him BPA. Nobody has a problem with it, im sure he will be a great player in the league. (Is it the best way to build a team? probably not but that's fine) If the FO has another player in an actual position of need/position of higher value, similarly graded that's also great because RBs can be found later in the draft at a significantly higher clip. Oh and we have a top 5 paid RB in his prime on the roster.
