Too bad for Bijan Robinson that former general manager Dave Gettleman is “retired” instead of still building rosters.
Despite Texas’ Bijan Robinson running a 4.46-second 40-yard dash, jumping 37 inches, being named asthat prized defensive end Will Anderson played against, and doing everything he could Sunday at the NFL Combine to prove he is one of the best rookies available, teams still are penalizing college running backs for the wear and tear endured at their position.
The first running back selected in each of the last four drafts was with picks No. 24, No. 32, No. 24 and No. 34, respectively. “If you’re up there in the top 10, it’s hard to take them there,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told reporters last week, sounding regretful of using No. 4 in 2016 on Ezekiel Elliott. “If you’re taking a player in the top half [of the first round], you’re hoping you got a player that’s going to be here 10 years. And it’s tough for running backs to last 10 years.
Josh Allen, the Bills’ star quarterback, in hindsight seems like the obvious selection at No. 2 overall in the 2018 draft., or to choose between pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and offensive guard Quenton Nelson to fix debilitating issues that have lingered for the past five years, or to trade back to accumulate more picks and select Barkley later in the first round.
