I'm pretty sure this is just random... but I found it interesting, so I'm posting it. Most probably won't care... but it's interesting how all the playoff teams were all over the RBs in this draft and the non-playoff teams mostly weren't.

RBs drafted and teams results.


#32 RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire Chiefs (Made Playoffs)
#35 RB D'Andre Swift Lions (Lions Sucks...)
#41 RB Jonathan Taylor Colts (Made Playoffs)
#52 RB Cam Akers Rams (Made Playoffs)
#55 RB J. K. Dobbins Ravens (Made Playoffs)
#62 RB A. J. Dillon Packers (Made Playoffs)
#66 RB Antonio Gibson WFT (Made Playoffs)
#76 RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn Bucs (Made Playoffs)

So 7 of the first 8 teams that selected RBs in the 2020 draft made the playoffs.

#80 WR/RB Lynn Bowden Raiders (he's a WR to me even in college... Raiders thought he could be a RB but they traded to the Dolphins after off field questions before even a season and the Dolphins moved him to WR... I'm counting him as a WR even though he was drafted as a RB... but clearly that was a bad call as they traded him away so quickly)

#86 RB Zack Moss Bills (Made Playoffs)
#93 RB Darrynton Evans Titans (Made Playoffs)

So in the first 3 rounds (not counting WR Bowden) 9 of the first 10 RBs selected got drafted to Playoff teams

And in the 4th round
#112 RB Joshua Kelley Chargers (rebuilding)
#120 RB La'Mical Perine Jets (Jets suck)
#124 RB Anthony McFarland Jr. (Made Playoffs)
#144 RB DeeJay Dallas Seahawks (Made Playoffs)

So though 3 rounds, 9 of the first 10 RBs selected got drafted to playoff teams... and through 4 rounds, 10 of the first 14 RBs got drafted to the playoff teams. Only playoff teams not to draft RBs in the top 4 rounds was Saints (Kamara) and Browns (who have two RB studs).

Very interesting how that worked out. With many teams focusing on having RBs on rookie deals I wonder if that impacts the drafts of playoff teams who are likely paying other players in key positions.

perhaps they were already relatively set at more important positions
