Jim: I'd love your take on the discussion we were talking about that they had on The Athletic Podcast where they were saying that veteran RB salaries are so depressed that a top-ten drafted RB is probably being overpaid, even with the rookie scale.
Thoughts?
On the one had, that's a pretty simple proposition, and I get it. On the other hand (and maybe this is just my 1980s showing), it feels like if you've got a chance to get a fresh-legged RB stud, you draft him and don't overthink it and convince yourself that you should instead get . . . Miles Sanders at half the price or whatever.
