I know this draft is different than most, but there is no arguing that the RB position has been undergoing a huge change the past 5 years. I asked this question a couple of years ago on the podcast, but I want to see what other people think.
Will young players (late high school/college) choose a position other than RB since the longevity for LB or Safety in the NFL is better?
When you read the bio on players, many have made position changes through their football life. I look at a player like Taiwan Jones in Oakland. Who knows if he will work out at CB, (the change is coming late). But if he stayed at RB, he would more than likely be out of the league in 5 years. (one contract) If he can become a decent CB (or Nickel CB) he could be last a decade or more. (multiple contracts)
Not sure if players would have enough long term vision and I see a good number of players that think they are better at their current position (RB) than the rest of the world.
