3 rb's drafted in entire top 3 rounds? I got that right?

Is that falling in line with the predictions or did something extraordinary just happen?

Hopefully there will be at least one running back we could draft in the 5th round...

Now, 27 looks really good for RBs.

I thought one or two might go in the 3rd, but this is not a great year for RBs, especially compared to last year. If we can land Demond Claiborne in the 5th and then add some UDFAs we might be OK for this year. But we'll have to draft one higher next year. Both Jones and Mason are in contract years.
