Mark Ingram (1st round, #28 pick)
- 6+ seasons
- signed 2nd contract with team that drafted him
- 959 carries (160 per season), 4,255 yards, 4.4 YPC, 32 TDs
- 154 catches, 1,066 yards, 6.9 YPC, 4 TDs
- 5,300 yards, 36 TDs in 6+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl
Trent Richardson (1st round, #3 pick)
No stats necessary, massive bust
Eddie Lacy (2nd round, #61 pick (3rd to last pick of 2nd round))
- 4+ seasons
- 1 Pro Bowl
- 1 2nd Team All-Pro
- 2013 NFL Offensive ROY
- 793 carries, 3,438 yards, 4.3 YPC, 23 TDs
- 101 catches, 900 yards, 6 TDs
- 4,348 total yards and 29 total TDs
TJ Yeldon (2nd round, #36 pick)
- 2+ seasons
- 312 carries, 1,205 yards, 3.9 YPC, 3 TD
- 86 catches, 591 yards, 6.9 YPC, 2 TD
- 1,796 yards, 5 TDs in 2+ seasons
Derrick Henry (2nd round, #45 pick)
- 1+ seasons
- 116 carries, 515 yards, 4.4 YPC, 5 TD
- 13 catches, 137 yards, 10.5 YPC, 0 TD
- 652 yards, 5 TDs in 1+ seasons
There is 1 bust in that group and 1 guy moving towards it (Yeldon). In no sense of the word is Ingram a bust and neither is Lacy considering where they were drafted and their production/longevity so far as NFL RBs.

So you draft players in the first round for them to make 1pro bowl and have 1 thousand yard season in their entire career.
You draft TJ Yeldon at the top of the 2nd round two years ago, and now you bring in another running back to replace him.
Your 2nd round draft pick in Derrick Henry averages 30 yards rushing per game in his rookie year and 25 yards in the first game of his 2nd year
You dumb if you think there is only one bust in that group
