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

Running backs at the very end of the 1st round or the 2nd round? Yea, that's probably about the norm.

They drafted him to be the 2nd running back to Demarco Murray at this point. You do realize they didn't/don't expect him to be doing anything more than he is right now, right (7-8 carries, 4.5 YPC)?
Do you actually watch the NFL, phan?

You obviously don't watch Sean Payton call plays. There is a reason the Saints have only had ONE 1,000 yard rusher (Ingram) 10 years. That reason isn't Mark Ingram.
Carnell Williams was drafted in the top 5 and made exactly zero pro bowls and had ONE 1,000 yard season and had a 3.8 ypc average in his career.
Ronnie Brown was drafted #2 overall and made exactly one pro bowl, had ONE 1,000 yard season and had a 4.2 ypc average in his career.
Why are AU RBs busts in the NFL?
