Comments on: Fewer Rushing Yards Are Coming From High Draft Picks http://www.footballperspective.com/fewer-rushing-yards-are-coming-from-high-draft-picks/ NFL History and Stats Mon, 23 Dec 2013 17:13:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Richie http://www.footballperspective.com/fewer-rushing-yards-are-coming-from-high-draft-picks/#comment-66336 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 17:13:44 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=16077#comment-66336 I wonder if there just happened to be a run in the late-70s and 80s of teams hitting on their RB draft picks? (The top 9 RB’s of the 80s were 1st round picks: Payton, Dickerson, Dorsett, Ottis Anderson, Riggs, Marcus Allen, George Rogers, Freeman McNeil and Curt Warner.)

Thanks Nate – yes, I meant only a few teams are finding running backs early in the draft.
