No point, its not like next year will be a better pool (Cook and Fournette) and RBs don't generally make leaps with experience like virtually every other position- there isn't some huge technique jump you make other than say not trying to bounce everything outside (some Henry already doesn't do but something some college RBs do because they're used to being able to outrun revenue prior to hitting college).

All it really seems to do is put more mileage on guys at a position that's essentially expendable-- hell, barring an Adrian Peterson level back you could argue in the modern NFL it's never really worth dumping a top 50 pick into a running back.
