Do NFL teams draft running backs in the first round

Running backs have long been considered a devalued position in the NFL draft. In recent years, with the proliferation of passing offenses and the rise of analytics, teams have been more willing to wait to select running backs in the later rounds.

However, there are still some teams that believe that running backs are worth a first-round pick. The Pittsburgh Steelers, for example, have selected a running back in the first round in each of the past two drafts. The Steelers believe that a workhorse running back is essential to their offense, and they are willing to pay a premium to get one.

Other teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys, are more hesitant to select running backs in the first round. The Cowboys believe that there are more valuable positions to fill with a first-round pick, such as quarterback, wide receiver, or pass rusher.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to draft a running back in the first round is a matter of team philosophy. Some teams believe that running backs are essential to their offense, while others believe that there are more valuable positions to fill.
